Allow me to give you the context.
We went on two dates, and I was impressed. He then went on a work trip for a few weeks.
Texted and called me every. single. day.
By the end of the first week of this nonsense (during which I was rarely responsive), I told him I was busy and couldn’t be in contact every single day, but I would look forward to hanging out when he got back from his trip. He said he understood, and it seemed that that was that.
12 hours later…
I receive a text message from him,
“I’m in the hospital.”
🙄
At no point did it cross my mind that this was a shit-test to see how much I really “cared” about him. /s
We had only been on two dates, for goodness sake. I can't imagine sending a message like this to someone I barely know--and if it was someone who cared about me, I would tell them whether I was fine, what the issue was, etc so that I wouldn't cause undue worry.
I politely ask what happened.
Several hours later, he tells me that the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with him, how weird!
Yes. How very weird.
Blocked and deleted.
He probably wasn't even on a work trip, either. The hospital was a lie. I can tell just by reading this.
Recently an ex-friend texted me that she was in the hospital, no further info. Sorry but if it's an emergency, you call, instead of wasting minutes texting. It was a weird power trip for her too and she wanted to see how fast I would text back. She had a tendency to subtly put me down in other ego-driven ways.
Same thing as this guy. Blocked and deleted too.
This is a shit test isn't it? I had a guy ghost me a long time ago because i didn't drop everything to baby him when he had covid. Like, we had sex once (prefds) and he never took me on a date. It felt very damsel in distressy. We have mutual friends and he hasn't changed. He expects women to court him like men and he watches fresh and fit. I dont get it. How does one intentionally emasculate themselves then complain about matriarchy.
GOOD FOR YOU. My ex does this constantly. Every time I had an issue with something he did or set a boundary, he would have a dying family member, personal emergency or some other bullshit. I put up with it for way too long but now I’ll know better for next time. Sounds like you nipped it in the bud immediately so good for you.
Good girl! His “I’m in the hospital” text reminds me of similar Facebook posts that have absolutely no context, they’re just bait for attention! I never bite when I see those.
Well done on blocking and deleting.
What a fucking weirdo.
and they say women are the ones desperate for attention hahahah
pathetic
Oh lord. I hate clingy/lovebombing behavior from men more than anything else.
Should have responded "k"
