The man that inspired this thread just called, asking for a favor.
View attachment 1897064
I haven't spoken to him in a couple of months and quit responding to texts. We used to at least share silly stuff back and forth through text but I quit responding.
Out of the friggin blue, he calls to ask if I would meet up with some guy 3 hours away that has a tailgate for a mid 70s Dodge truck. Apparently they are hard to find. This allowed me the perfect opportunity to let this guy know why I don't call him anymore.
I wasn't mean or punitive but I did tell him that I didn't like the monologues, I listened to his every story while patiently waiting for him to ask or at least listen and pretend to care but when it didn't happen, I lost interest in maintaining contact with him....that I even tolerated an 80/20 split for awhile but I am done.
Then, I hung up as he was apologizing.
