Mayfare Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 My ex texted me yesterday to make sure I wasn't at the Boston Marathon. He apparently saw on Facebook (though I'm not sure how...because we aren't friends and my profile is completely private) that I signed up for a half marathon, and he wanted to make sure I wasn't there. I was obviously not in Boston. We're across the country. I haven't run a marathon in over a year. We have finals this week and next. It was a stupid text that I planned to ignore. Buuuuut my friends convinced me to respond and let him know that I'm okay (you know, in case he was legit concern pshhh). The issue is that I couldn't just tell him I was fine. I know, I know, stupid me. I told him it didn't bother me to hear from him and I was fine (he thought it might bother me...?), but that I gave him plenty of chances to be friends and he didn't care enough to be, so it's not fair to keep coming in and out of my life. He responded that he just wanted to make sure I was fine and that he was still my friend... I let him know I appreciated the concern but I didn't really buy the whole friends thing. It was sad that he couldn't be honest with me. That was all that was exchanged but I've been thinking about it since. I'm not sure if I was too harsh or if I should just continue to ignore him and leave it at what it is...?
Infnitysign Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 It's good that you only gave a simple and neutral reply and didn't come off as mean by not answering his need for attention. lol
