 Stood Up
I posted earlier last week about how we weren't looking for a single for a MFM but that one kinda fell in our lap, and we decided to enjoy the situation. We both thought he was quite respectful and understood the "lifestyle". Apparantly we were wrong.
Friday the 13th we had our date all planned, dinner at 7, drinks, hotel room. We made the reservation, he had claimed to make a reservation for his own room. Friday afternoon, I am getting ready; going through the whole "get really pretty" process. Hair done, nails done, shaved and trimmed properly, blah blah.
As we are walking out the door, my cell phone rings. Its him canceling plans. Under some circumstances I would understand it. Life does get in the way sometimes. His excuse "The cards are playing saturday and I am going up to St. Louis tonite with a friend to a pre game party." I wanted to scream "HELLO, are you really like that? You make plans with one person and then blow em off last minute when something better comes along?"
Is it me or was this just plain rude? I have made plans with people, had something that sounded better come up, and kept my original plans, because I told them I would be there. Did I miss out on some fun stuff? Maybe, but ya know, I sleep well at night knowing I didn't go out of my way to hurt someone. Anyway, that night hubby and I went out anyway for dinner drinks and did some Christmas shopping for the kids since they were at Granny's for the night. No sense in sitting home and moping and not taking advantage of no kids for the night.
Three days later he writes me this email apologizing for leaving us hanging. I sent him one back saying "thanks for the apology, but it turns out we may not be compatible after all. I wish you all the best."
He sends one back saying "Just like a damn woman, always playing a game."
So my question, Did I play a game and not realize it? Should I feel bad about changing my mind?
