So my ex bf phoned me yesterday - we had a short relationship and the break-up was civil - to ask how I'm doing. Do I want to go for coffee today and catch up? My brothers have been worried about me looking after my grandmother 24/7, and one of them happily volunteered to granma-sit for a couple of hours. About half and hour before we were to get together, I text him to confirm where we were going to meet, and this is the reply I get: 'Sorry hun, can't make it today. What about lunch next Sunday?' I did not reply, needless to say.

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand someone behaving like this. I think it's rude, and disrespectful, and shows a contempt for me personally. He knows my grandmother, and he knows what the situation is. Why the hell would he ask in the first place. NNNNB I did not call him up and suggest a meeting. Is this the behavior of a complete asshole, or am I overreacting?

    It's definitely selfish and inconsiderate, Flower, especially because he should have understood that you would have to make arrangements for your grandmother.  It may be a good thing for you to take an occaisonal moment for yourself anyway, especially if your brothers are willing.

    He prolly shoudn'ta made plans with you only to break it off...  And to wait until you text him to say that he can't make it?  That's low... 

    I think you should start making mad plans with him and just blow him off left and right.  A big plan, too.  So that he plans his day accordingly, and when he calls you to come pick you up, just tell him you have a date. 

    That'll learn him. 

    I know...  I'm petty... 

    I never said that I wasn't, though...  :p

    You know Grapy, I'm starting to see merit in that. I'm not normally so inclined, but maybe that's my problem with men. I'm nice to the point of stupid....

    Ugh!  This is the reason I can't stand guys!  I love 'em, they just drive me crazy!   They are so inconsiderate!  Obviously he knows you'd have to jump through some hoops to make your "date" possible, and the fact that he blew you off with a text makes me wanna choke this guy!  Where are the manners? 
     
    He was the one who asked you to catch up.  He probably had another offer and figured it was no big deal to leave you hanging.  I think it's a good thing this guy is an ex....  Chivalry is definitely dead.

    Blondee - I think it's what you said - he had a better offer.... it would never occur to me to treat anyone like this, so I'm always gob-smacked when I see it. Thanks for stopping by.:)

    you are not over reacting at all - the fact that he used the word ' hun ' is an insult to anyone,and he clearly doesnt have a sensitive bone in his body

You do not really have to worry whether your ex is thinking about you or not. More than likely, your ex is actually thinking about you even when you don't make any effort....
