Could this be a good sign, or is he waiting for her to initiate a conversation first?

I recently found some messages between my boyfriend and his ex. He initiated the texting. She responded to a text from him on Friday but he hasn’t responded back and it’s going on Thursday. This is good right? Or could he just be waiting for her to initiate the texting?

What did he say in his text to her?

 

I am guessing there are trust issues between you two if you're reading his messages, so what is the backstory here?

It would really depend on what the messages said. If they were flirty or just friendly, I'd still keep my eye on things. Whose "turn" it is to text back is irrelevant -- they are in communication.

 

What is the context in which you "found" the messages? Why were you snooping on his phone? If you already don't trust him this just seems like a reason to break up. Even if his behavior was innocent your need to look tells me you two don't have a solid foundation.
