Should I respond?

He text me. He read my post Didn't kiss me like before and apparently felt obligated to address the whole son issue. I haven't replied. This was about four days ago. A couple of days before that I knew he'd read it because I saw in my stats that someone in his city accessed my blog. Sure, it could have been anyone, but I was pretty sure it was him.

I really don't know whether or not to respond. I know it sounds mean, but I don't really care. And frankly, his excuse for not telling me brought up so many other issues that there really is no point.

There's a part of me that wants to reply, but only so he knows his excuse didn't shut me up or put me in my place about the issue. Like I wrote, the other part of me doesn't care and doesn't see the need to engage further.

I don't even understand why he even bothered to text me his reasons. I mean, I don't have a magic coochie (pardon my french), so I doubt that it's because he wants to keep a west coast lay on reserve for the once-a-year visits. Well, maybe he does, but it doesn't have to be me and I'm probably not the only one anyway. Our tryst was kinda one-sided. It was all about me. ;) I so didn't mean for that to happen and I felt guilty about it, but I was the only one that got off (multiple times) that day. It just sorta happened. Sorry. :(

Anyway. I don't understand. It's always been clear that all I've been to him is a long-distance booty call, as Uni put it, so why even excuse yourself? Is it an ego thing? Like, "oh no, the fat girl's not going to be the one to put an end to things." (Yes, the same way I'm milking the "emotionally unstable" bit, I'm going to milk the "who's going to hire the fat girl" sentiment.)

If he happens to come back onto my blog, I guess this will do as my reply. I'm also surprised he even came to it as it's been a long time since he had...oh well. Maybe one day I will learn to keep my mouth shut. don't think that's ever going to happen. ;)
