So .. backstory.. I dated "Mr X" 20 years ago and it ended badly. he cheated - I was heartbroken.
A couple of years later we randomly bumped into each other in a bar, and since then have formed a friendship. So over the last few years its been very on and off, sometimes we chat a lot, sometimes nothing for months. He's abroad most of the time so actual meet ups have been quite rare.
We've been chatting a lot recently as we have a shared interest.
This week he says he's back in London - lets meet for a drink. We agree on Friday night (I had to move some stuff which he knew, but yes Friday agreed)
We get to Friday morning and he still hasn't said an actual location of time, and then says "I'm still waiting to hear from my friend if he wants to meet or not" (He had mentioned a few days before that he might have to meet a friend for a quick drink)
I'm a bit put out thinking - hang on - you've double booked us.
But I said "Ok, well shall we say 7, do you think we'll be done by then?"
... silence from him, until about 5 o'clock - when he says. "I'm meeting my friend at 7 now"
That was it - no apology or anything.
I didn't reply to that. I feel like I was just his back up plan .. he was just keeping me hanging on .. while trying to sort out something better.
Am I being unreasonable to think that's just a crappy way to treat someone?
