There is hardly ever any reason to have read receipts (WhatsApp blue ticks) enabled. They almost always only cause problems. Even for the messages you send, if they haven’t replied, does it really matter if you can see blue ticks or not? Try turning of read receipts for a week and see how much better your life gets. It will significantly reduce drama in your life and cost you nothing.
The only person I care to see read receipts from is my wife, and that’s easy to implement since she’s one of about 4 people in my life who uses Signal (where I keep read receipts on). All the WhatsApp wankers can wait for a reply at my convenience.
I have read confirmation disabled everywhere. So I open every message and then don’t respond until I want to

I do too, but even with it disabled, I still don’t open some messages.
Just opening it is enough even if the other person doesn’t know you did.
