I've had first contact with the ex today, and it has left me frustrated and irritated.

I was cleaning out all the romantic texts that I've saved in my phone. I decided that it was time. Well, I accidentally re-sent a text. I tried to stop it, but I knew that it went through. I sent another text explaining that I was cleaning out my text box and didn't mean to re-send the message.

He actually responded with an OK. He then asked me if I had someone's inflatable life jacket. I told him no and if I had that I would have told him by now. He then told me to have a nice time in Alaska.

Ahhh...he is thinking about me. I responded that I was surprised that he remembered and that I was excited to go. I then opened the stupid door by asking him about his job situation. I was trying to be friendly. Stupid...stupid...stupid.

He told me that he was sitting in his old office trying to clean it out. Everyone else had other jobs but him. Also that he has no place to live because his friend's place is disgusting. Now, let's remember that I had asked him to move in with me. He could be living with me in a wonderful house. Instead he's sitting around an empty office with no where to move when his lease is through at the end of next month alone! I responded back that I was sorry he was going through a tough time. I got this text back...

"I have never tried the not being friends thing before and it is much easier. Good call."

What the hell does that mean????

I was irate and wanted to text back....well, it was nice talking to you. Have a great day. Thank goodness my friend stopped me. She was right. It wouldn't solve anything and there would be more unnecessary texting back and forth. I would never get an answer that would make me happy. Thank goodness for friends in the office!

Another friend says it means that he is in a bad place and if you were talking that it would be too tempting to want to lean on your shoulders. Not a bad thought.

In the end, I decided not to answer. It is probably better off. I'm leaving for an amazing adventure in Alaska this weekend, and he's probably moving home with his parents. Living well is the best revenge.
