Arabella Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Right, so my ex and I had been talking about working things out for like six months... but we were long-distance and it never really happened. We're living in the same area now, and after several failed attempts to meet up (failed because of him), he asked to come over to my place for dinner so we could talk. Mind you, we have a lot of history and we could never actually pick up where we left off without having a good talk to clear the air. So we made dinner plans at his request. He even mentioned a specific dish he wanted to try. I went through all the trouble to get the ingredients and cook it for him. An hour before the time he was supposed to show up, I texted him to make sure he was still coming. A few minutes later, he tells me he's like 150 miles away and totally forgot about it. Very sorry and all that BS. I get the feeling that he couldn't face me after all the stuff he's done. You'd think most men learn early on their lives that leaving a woman with food ready on the table is never a good idea... I'm just freaking livid. Arabella Edited June 14, 2010 by Arabella
ShadowBlue Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I hope you at least told him that you went through all that trouble, and already had dinner on the table when he bailed at the last minute. Totally uncool.
AlwaysConflicted Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah that's horrible. It's entirely possible he did forget which says 2 things. Either 1 he's forgetful or 2 he's just not that into you. I'm leaning towards #1 since he set this up. He needs to apologize to you. Send flowers, cook you a meal, or just do something wonderful for you. Don't let him walk on you. Give him a chance to make good, but don't be too easy on him. Sometimes we (men) do dumb things.
Author Arabella Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 He bailed on me twice previous to that, making all kinds of excuses (all while telling me he wanted to see me). I told him this was it. If he didn't show up, I was done. So he knew this was a big deal. Especially after I went through all the trouble for him. I just feel so disrespected. I texted him a few times yesterday just wanting to know the reason why he did this (because I don't believe the BS he told me) and he couldn't be bothered to respond. He does this when he thinks that talking to me is going to do more harm than good... but still. You'd think he could at least have bothered to make a phone call and apologize properly. But no. He just ignores me and hopes that after a few days I won't be angry anymore. And the funny thing is that it has worked in the past. Not this time though! Arabella
