A "normy"? I don't know what that means.

Context? Maybe? Fuck...i don't know anymore...

So back during the separation between my ex husband and I, I met this guy off Tinder. We had a great, fun, flirty connection for a few months and then it fizzled. Who cares. Whatever. Flash forward about a year (my ex and I have been divorced for around 5.5 years now) this guy hits me up. Wants to hang out. Come swimming at the community pool. Hey can I use your dryer? The heating element in mine, type shit. My reply? Sure. Whatever.

Then a few weeks later I get the infamous "hey girlie" message on FB. She already knew about me. He had told her about me. She knew that he would run to me every single time that they had any sort of argument. So each time he would reach out to me, I would throw his ass under the bus.

Then I went minimal, one word contact with him for a few years.

Fast forward to last spring. He messages me. Apologizes. Tells me she was crazy and that he wants to reconnect. Me, being the fucking moron that i am, agrees. Cool. We talk, have some dates, go camping, have a really amazing time. THE DAY AFTER OUR LAST CAMPING TRIP, he tells me that it's not gonna work because there's another girl waiting in the wings. These texts are from now. A year later.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. He's not gonna fucking fool me again.

TLDR; I was fooled twice by this fool and now he's mad because I gave him the honest answer that he asked for.

Also...please be gentle...we're super short staffed at work and I'm fucking exhausted (if ya'll care lol i know how brutal Reddit can be...)
