&gt; My ex before we broke up used to take days and days to respond but she was unemployed and had nothing going in her life<p>Not to speak of your ex specifically. But this could just be a case of &quot;shitty at replying to texts&quot;, which I also have (in relation to my mother and some of my friends, but not to other friends or my girlfriend). It&#x27;s not necessarily about being a faker.
