Sorry for the wall of text - here's some CN - my ex texted me today, out of the blue, and ended up being a jackass to me for no reason.
But yeah - he just randomly texts me today out of nowhere. I haven't talked to him in forever, we broke up almost two years ago and I immediately started dating Ben right after (Ben and I were together before, in high school, and after that was over I dated my ex for six years), and he wasn't really keen on that - not that I blame him, but that's just how it happened.
I'm still trying to process how this whole exchange went down because I seriously can't even believe he said this crap to me - if he is anything like he was when we were together then I'm sure alcohol was a factor in this but I feel like he has no excuse to talk to me this way.
This is how it went:
EX: So, just as a curious guy, how is DMW’s life?
ME: Pretty good! Staying busy. Wish summer was longer but oh well! How are you?
EX: I can’t begin to explain… but great.
ME: So glad to hear that! How’s your girlfriend
EX: Is that a joke or something? Classy.
ME: No it was a serious question but nevermind I guess
EX: I have no idea how that was a serious question… so I’m dating someone? News to me.
ME: Sorry I must have been mistaken. Forget I said anything then.
EX: Haha, you are mistaken about my life? What part of my life do you think you are unmistaken about?
ME: What? I was mistaken that you were dating someone. I had heard you were some time ago and was wondering how it was going. I don’t pretend to know about your life
EX: Haha, you REALLY gotta stop believing everything you hear. Ha, I’m done judging, being scared, afraid, or worrying. You have NO IDEA, but forgiveness is all I can give.
ME: What? Who are you forgiving?
EX: Yeah, nevermind… none of it matters. Have all the happiness you say you now have
ME: The happiness I say I have? Do you think I’m lying to everyone? What is your problem?
EX: No problem. I’m probably wrong. Ben's probably a great guy these days.
ME: Yeah, actually, he is incredible.
EX: That’s something you prolly should have told me 8 years ago. Enjoy.
ME: Seriously where is all this coming from? Why are you being such a jerk right now
(looooong pause)
ME: Well if youre going to be condescending to me I don’t want to hear from you. I don’t need this. And for being so forgiving and not angry like you claim to be, honestly I think you were a little out of line
EX: Haha, sorry. I just look out my window every day when I drive home from work, PRAYING I don’t see a 2009 Chevy Malibu. I truly hope it’s worth it.
EX: You’re right. I’m gonna let you be. Sorry. All the best.
...so yeah, what the freaking hell? I didn't even know it was him at first actually because I'd deleted his number from my phone, but I recognized the number after a minute. I can't believe he's still being a complete jerk to me after all this time. I'm kinda shaken up and pissed off and just overall irritated that he's still acting like a complete baby about everything.
I don't even know why I'm posting this to be honest. I'm going to go to bed tonight and when I wake up tomorrow, I'm not even going to give this a second thought because it's pointless, and if he texts me again I'm going to just ignore it. The whole thing just caught me off guard. Ugh... vent over.
