About 2 weeks ago I got a txt message from an email address. I had no idea who it was, but just the message itself made me think of only one person. MARK.
I personally didn't know any other person that would send that kind of a message to me. It's been 5 years since I've heard from him. At first I wasn't going to respond to it. Then when I did decide to respond, I wasn't sure what to say. So I kept it very short and simple. I simply said, "Mark?" If it wasn't him I wouldn't get a response back. If it was him and he did respond back (or someone just fucking with me), then I'd go from there.
I didn't even know you could send txt messages from an email, so I actually looked up if you could and how you did it, and tested it out myself. And holy shit, it worked. I hadn't heard anything again until Christmas Eve. His next message almost convinced me it was him, but I still needed to make sure, so I asked him how I'd know.
After his response to that, I was certain it was him. Every message he sent was getting cut off. I'm assuming because it was being sent from an email, it was only sending the first 160 characters (or whatever the limit is). I let him know it was doing that, so when I woke up the next morning, I had a txt from another type of thing. So I googled that to see what it was, and it's some other kind of site you can send txt messages with. What the hell!?
I already knew he was clearly being shady. I mean, who sends txt messages from an email in 2020? Or finds another site to send them from? So yesterday I finally just sent him an actual email, so I could tell him some things. I told him I was annoyed that he thinks he can talk to me like he did 15 years ago, and not even ask how I'm doing.
So I basically told him what's been going on in my life. I let him know I no longer live in Vegas, bought property, had a brand new house built, all without a guy. I let him know I lost my virginity and that after it happened, I knew that some day I'd get to tell him that
I told him that clearly he's still been thinking about me and kept my phone number for a reason. I told him that I knew he'd contact me again. I didn't know when, but I knew he would.
I told him that I'm sick of every guy in my life either being a liar or a cheater, and that since I'm being honest with him, he needed to do the same. I don't know if I'll ever hear from him again, but he must still be married or he wouldn't be sneaking around. I know I shouldn't give him the time of day, but I always had fun talking to him, and some days you just need to humor yourself.
