Now That I’ve Had Time to Cool Off…
By Keiti | August 8, 2007
You know…I’m seriously beginning to consider taking one of two routes in my life: 1 - choose to become a lesbian or 2 - be single the rest of my life with my trusty sidekick, Mr. Dorian Gray, as my sole companion.
As each day passes, both of those seem to be more and more appealing - and this afternoon damn near sealed the deal with one of the two.
You see, my ex has some of my things - nothing big, just a movie and a book. But I’d like them back. I’ve returned what I had of his, and now I’d like the same consideration, which I hardly think is asking too much. I’d emailed him nearly two weeks ago asking about it, and he ignored me, so today I im’d him about it. He ignored my initial im, so I followed up by telling him I simply wanted an eta and then I’d disappear again. Instead of simply saying that it would be next week, I got a rather lengthy reply (well…lengthy for him, anyway) about how he had a meeting tomorrow and he was going out of town for the weekend, so it should be next week. That would have been enough for me because that’s all I wanted, but he went on to congratulate me on my new job, so I said thank you and asked him about his meeting tomorrow…
Which he ignored.
Which pissed me the hell off.
I’m not unreasonable. But I do expect a certain amount of respect - I did absolutely nothing to deserve being treated so rudely. Our breakup had nothing to do with anything that I’d done. I’m not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I know that to be 100% true. Had it been otherwise, I’d have called myself out. Part of me thinks it’s because he doesn’t want to deal with me - that in an effort to get me to walk away completely so he can continue sticking his head in the sand, he treats me like a non-entity. If that’s what his intention is, then it’s working. Because he’s certainly letting me know he’s hardly the man I thought he was.
My days of breath-holding are over because I deserve better than that.
