Bradford Alpha2 months agoI'm a 27-year-old guy, and I have a 19-year-old cousin who I really want to connect with. Recently, I texted him to wish him a Merry Christmas, but he never replied. I try to reach out every now and then just to check in and start a conversation, but he often doesn't respond. Once, he mentioned that he didn't receive one of my messages, which makes me wonder if that's the case. I care about our relationship since he's my younger cousin, and it frustrates me when he ignores my texts. I find myself feeling a bit upset about it. Am I expecting too much from him in terms of communication? In short, I'm concerned that my cousin doesn't respond to my messages, and I want to maintain a good relationship with him.5
