My “boyfriend” stood me up once because he was sleeping. After messages and phone calls, I told him the only way he could apologize and have a chance is to meet me in my town and give me a sincere apology in person. He agrees.

The day we’re supposed to meet, he texts me that he’s “swamped” and has a cold. So stood up twice. And he’s sorry for sleeping. He did not put an alternative option.

So, I chose not to respond, as it was his screw up, and we had just had a conversation about him pulling this crap.

I never heard from him again! I decided it was his responsibility to reach out after fucking up twice. After a day of not hearing anything else, I removed him from social media and redone loaded my dating apps. obviously he doesn’t care.

This happened a month ago, then last night I get this text:

“I get that you were upset that I couldn’t make it in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday to apologize for not waking up from a nap when you knew I was up all night. But honestly, I think with how much time we spent together I deserved a conversation or at least a text message saying it was over.”

Do not let them gaslight you for their behavior. He blew it. he was obviously looking to make me feel bad, so he could feel like a “good guy” block the number. My suspicion is that his family asked where I was. It brought up all the anger I was starting to get over.

If you’re wondering, when he slept through our date, he was partying with undergrad guys. This “man” is 30.

Thanks for letting me vent. The holidays are among us ladies, prepare for the ex texts and fuck boys to reappear.
