I’ve had a casual relationship for over 8 months. Sex, but also going out for drinks, cooking dinner for each other, etc.
When we first met, before lockdown, we were seeing each a couple of times a week. Lockdown happened, but still stayed in touch. When lockdown relaxed and we saw each other about twice a month.
Last saw him a month ago. He text me shortly afterwards - the usual things ‘been thinking of you’, ‘loved spending time with you’, ‘would love to see you again soon, etc’. I said I’d be available on a particular day, he said he should be too - great, so I left the conversation as ‘well let me know on x day either way’. I’ve not heard from him since.
He’s always been flakey (hence me not considering a relationship) but I just think this is cruel to not a) reply on the day, b) not apologise or even acknowledge and c) apparently now just ghosting.
I’ve not chased him and it although it sounds ridiculous that I’m annoyed, I’m actually not that bothered about seeing him much as he’s changed massively during lockdown (recreational stoner to several times a day). But I’m still pissed off that a 8 months friendship/relationship is worth not so much as a simple text.
I think I just feel that if you’ve had a long-ish ‘thing’ going on it’s a decent thing to do to either end it, say I’m going to be busy for a while or whatever excuse you want. I wouldn’t treat anyone else like that so it bothers me.
And I being stupid being annoyed about it even though from my end it did feel like it may have run it’s course?
