Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I had posted here last Saturday about how I was effectively ghosted over the weekend. There were tentative plans, but he told me last Thursday that he would get in touch with me on Friday to follow up on plans. Friday came and went and there was no sign of him. I kept checking my messages over and over. I was at an event near his home and that's why I let him know I could meet him.
I had slept with him the previous week so I was feeling particularly vulnerable. I cried and cried and cried Friday when I got home, and was feeling like I had the crap beat out of me on Saturday when I got up. It put me in such a bad state I almost flaked on my friend's Labor Day party.
I had therapy Monday and we talked about it. She said that he would be back and she was certain of it. I disagreed as I thought he was gone for good. She was right.
Today, Wednesday, he sends me a random text in the morning, "How was the weekend?" I was mad as hell. My face turned bright red, I could feel the rage over my whole body. I'm sitting there, thinking, really? How was my freaking weekend? You were supposed to call/text and you left me standing here like an idiot. It partly sucked because of him, TBH. I don't want to deal with this s***.
I didn't answer and I don't plan on answering his text. I suppose I could block his number but I don't know if I really need to. If he asks me what my problem is I suppose I could tell him. I was just sitting there shaking my head.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....
Sorry your still smarting with his hurt enough to ignore his text.
I think he won’t get the message until you tell him. Men are that self centered selfish and inconsiderate just know that and let it go resenting him is not going to help.
Doesn't surprise me that he asked about the weekend. Clueless that he was supposed to contact YOU. Immature and inconsiderate. But that is him.
Maybe take some time apart so you can get your emotions together and think more with your head. It takes time to get past what he did, and the other things that he's doing (condom thing), and so why not take a little time to think about things?
YOU matter. Take care of you, first. You don't have to reply back. You're too mad right now to reply. Take a little time.
Best to you Mars1212, I'm sure you're a smart woman and know what you truly deserve. In my opinion, you'll do much better once you forgive yourself for letting a young man swindle you into deception.
Love yourself a little more, your almost there.
