My ex never responded timely to any texts or messages during our relationship. It's just something that came with the territory of dating him, and something that I had to accept if I wanted to be with him. However, waiting over 24hrs for him to respond to my text requesting we meet up was just plain miserable. When no reply came, I wrote him this morning saying simply that I feel I had given him enough time to respond and that I was checking in again to see when he may be able to meet up. He then promptly replied that he was busy and would try to work something out.
Really? I gave you a year and a half of my life, and you act put out by trying to find one hour of your day to meet with me?
Well, flash forward several hours later. I landed in SFO and turned on my phone to find a message from him saying he was trying to figure out when would be the best time and we would touch base in the AM. Great. So now I know our meeting will be tomorrow, but I don't know when. I wrote back okay, but requested he give me some ballpark timeframe. No reply. This was at 830pm and I'm sure that he has seen that message but has chosen not to reply. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But I wonder, why did I put up with this behavior when I was with him? Why did I feel I had to accept it? The number of life lessons that have come from this relationship continues to boggle my mind.
