That's not normal at all to threaten to break up and never see him again. I'd consider that a red flag and leave.

As for checking in, even when we weren't living together, my partners and I would check in plenty of times just because we were excited to tell each other what we were doing and to make plans.

Yea same.

I'd be like, ok, bye then. But after a year I can understand why you wouldn't want to.

That’s what I would have done 6 months ago but we have built up a lot and have been fine I don’t know if he’s just having a problem that he doesn’t know how to express

Yea it's really bizarre.

Maybe you could try talking to him about it again from a "are you OK?" Approach.

It's not normal to not know what you're partners doing at weekends.. how can you plan things with them if you don't know.

Exactly I have no problem if he’s going out with his friends or whatever. Just make time for me and let me know what’s going on and if plans need to be changed that’s okay

I really think you'll need to talk to him about it again tbh

Sunk cost fallacy.

6 months ago or today it doesn’t matter. Same abusive behavior.

I tell him all the time just out of curtsy if I’m going out or what my plans for the next day are. We’ve never had any problems like this before and we’ve been together over a year.

Wow for over a year? He sounds like he has avoidant issues or is hiding another life. Have you talked to him about moving in together and the future?

He definitely avoids serious/important conversations. This is the way it’s making me feel like somethings not right. Yeah we are currently saving for a house and have been actively viewing properties

I mean you're looking for clues when something isn't right when his actions are showing outright he's abusive.

It is emotional abuse to threaten to fall off the face of the earth in order to end a discussion. Is this how all conflicts will go- if he wants to end the discussion, he threatens to disappear on you?
