More classic playbook

I wanted to share this with you all, because, really who else could I tell who would get the absurdity?
File it under: another one for the Playbook.

I previously posted about my ex BF, whom I broke up with about two months ago. We had no contact until he texted me on New Years Day, saying he still loved me, etc etc. I did reply, briefly and say that I wouldn’t discuss this via text but if he had something to say, he could call me. After that, I didn’t hear from him for 5 days. On Jan 6th, he sent me a lengthy email professing his love (seriously. the word “love” was used a dozen times) and stating the Classic: I will do whatever it takes to fix our relationship!

Don’t worry. I didn’t fall for it. I emailed him back telling him that there was no chance of us getting back together and to please not contact me again.

BUT, I was wondering….if he was so ardent, why did he wait 5 days to respond? What was he doing in the meantime? So, I broke my own rule about not giving a fuck about what he does, and did some detective work (I have his email password, but hadn’t been checking on him since we broke up).

So, get this. He has been on an online dating site and had been communicating with a woman for a few days. They exchanged nude photos. Yes, nude. He had her pics in his Inbox, including a closeup of her breasts. (WTH? Is this what the kids do nowadays? Is this what we can expect when we re-enter the dating scene? Are men going to expect to see me naked before we even have a first date? But I digress…)

A couple of days after the nude photo exchange, she emails him saying: “It was nice talking to you, we would have been a good couple but we live too far apart, good luck, etc. And please delete my nude photos. I have deleted the ones of you”. To which he replies and assures her that he, too, has deleted her nude photos (of course, he lied. They are right there in his Inbox and likely will be added to his Collection).

So, then the next day, I get that email wanting us to get back together because he loves me oh so much. Right.

The moral of the story:
You can’t trust a word out of these guys’ mouths.
They only “love” you when their other options fall through.
And never send nude pics to a stranger you met online. He might be a SA (chances are, if he requests/is willing to exchange naked pics, he probably IS a SA).
