Its time for me to really admit that B has reached his shelf life.

Its been coming up for months, the alternate hot/cold sarcastic notes, the pressing in “teasing nonpressuring” ways for OTC meetings, the attempted invasion of the details of my private life…

But this takes the cake.

B invited me out to a concert, and I told him that he should have fun, but I was going to be out of state for the whole month.  Perfectly true.

But his response blows me away.

Basically “WOW i’ve NEVER known a girl to flee the STATE to avoid going out with me…  oh well, if you don’t want to see a kick ass  concert with a kick ass guy” and along those lines, insinuating all sorts o f ways i was “using” him.  He must have been drinking.  Last time he drank he sent me a letter saying something along the lines of “not looking for female company unless its someone who wants him for HIM” and acting as though i had made him believe that and was simply using him cruelly and manipulatively.

No buddy, you knew what this relationship was.  You KNEW my keeping in touch with you was a favor because you were a relatively easy customer, and spend a good amount on me.  So don’t go acting like I said I was your one true love and then shat in your face.

Already here’s the “whoops my attempt at a bad joke” type half apology half defense half “but you’re still going to go out with me if i keep asking” note.  I told him that if he was going to talk to me like that, I WASN’T going to respond, and i have no need to justify ANYTHING to him.  And i haven’t responded.

And I won’t.  He needs to take the point.  Either he’ll stop driving to see me, or he’ll come back and keep a distance.

Either way I don’t have to be irritated.
