my 18f 18m bf and i lost touch – who does this fall on?

r/

hi everyone just wanted some advice. a while ago my bf and i lost touch for like over a year – we just didn’t message each other. no bad blood or anything like that. my bf said it’s because i didn’t respond to his message. i acknowledge this. but i assumed it wasn’t something that really needed a response. he never reached out to me throughout that year – however he said that it was my fault since he was waiting for my response. but like he could’ve reached out to me too. imo it’s both our faults. pls lmk what u think, i won’t be disappointed if you tell me the truth

tl;dr my 18m bf and i 18f stopped talking for a bit and he said it’s because i stopped messaging but i think he could’ve reached out
