The other night at gone 10pm I received a message on Instagram from an anonymous hobby account (think nature photography) asking why I hadn't accepted the follow request they sent some weeks prior as I know them. I replied that I didn't know who they were, given that the account had no identifying details.
They didn't want to tell me who they were at first and when I asked why joked incase it "blew up in their face" but sometimes wondered how I was doing and what I was up to.
Thinking it was somebody on a wind up, I said I wasn't going to be replying any further. They then identified themselves as my ex boyfriend, from 12 years ago when we were late teenagers (17/19)
I was surprised as I didn't think I'd ever hear from him again. We were friends after breaking up but then he vowed never to speak to me again after I began dating somebody he despised (with good reason in hindsight)
We chatted for 20 mins or so, told one another about our lives now and work etc and i said it was nice to be in touch, but then he went ghost. Silence.
WIBU to assume I was 'drunk text' given the time of night at the weekend, and that he probably woke up the next morning feeling quite silly or full of regret
