I texted my ex because I learned to finally forgive him. So I made it light-hearted and made my intentions clear. Also, I told him that I wasn't going to do a half-assed friendship and that if he couldn't hold a conversation with me then I would give up.
Since that day I have never texted him first. He seems to make a habit of texting me once a week on Thursdays since he has the day off. But he's always dropping the ball. His contributions pretty much consist of "haha okay" "cool" "alright then" and things of that sort. Most of the time it only lasts like 6 texts back and forth before he gives out. I usually try to move the conversation until he's done it the third time then I don't reply back. I called him out on it last night and he only said "what does one even say to that? (what I texted him last)" and I made a whole list of things he could've done and said that I stopped responding after he killed the conversation a third time. He just said "fair enough" and that he was going to bed.
I don't understand what he's trying to do. What's the point of texting me if he's not going to carry the conversation and then won't acknowledge that he's doing it? I just think it's especially strange since he's that guy that runs away from his problems (like literally, he runs away to school in Iowa and refers to his friends there as his real ones even though those here were the ones he's grown up with).
