So the thread is about a guy I've been seeing.
I went to an event last night which lasted until the early hours. He and I were texting a bit and he suggested I come over to his afterwards, if you get my drift.
I thought he was pulling my leg as he has his DC on weekends and doesn't stay up late himself.
Anyway.
I made a silly joke this morning about how I did buzz his apartment on the way past but he must have been snoring so loudly he didn't hear it. A playful jibe at his god awful snoring is what it was intended to be.
It's not funny, I know. I was just being daft.
At this point he sends me a picture of his intercom (which was on silent mode) and says "omg, so sorry. The kids must have pressed the buttons" quickly followed by another message which said "I'm so annoyed" IE annoyed that his kids had been fiddling with the intercom and as a result he'd missed out on seeing me.
I immediately responded saying that I was joking and not to tell them off because I hadn't actually come home that way and didn't press his buzzer.
He replies to say he has already told them off.
I feel terrible at this point and apologise, sincerely.
He ignores the message and has been giving me the silent treatment since 8am this morning which is completely uncharacteristic of him as he's a big texter.
He's now sharing quotes which say 'I'm into being a father. That's what I'm focusing on' which is clearly some sort of indirect towards me.
I feel a bit blindsided and confused as to why this has been blown so out of proportion. We are always bantering back and forth. He has been a wind up merchant himself on occasion and I've never reacted like this.
I would really appreciate your perspective. Do you think this is proportionate?
Am I a total dick, is he being one or do we both sound ridiculous?
Thank you. Regular poster/commenter under a name change.
