Old love interest, now married texts you happy birthday after 0 communication for 3yrs. How does one resopnd?

[Loveisgirthy]

She got married the day after my birthday which is also my dad's birthday. We'd talked about it previously. Don't know how it wasn't intentional. Anyway amongst other signs and reasons I ghosted and we never spoke since. Just odd, never thought it'd happen.

Don't let her walk all over you again. I'd ignore her.

[Loveisgirthy]

Yeah I mean there's closure I'd like to have in a friends way. And I don't think she fits the type to do all that on purpose. It was really just too much too handle at the time and I couldn't keep my act up for being her one good friend anymore. But yeah.

[Pot8o]

In my experience, women don't do it on purpose. I've had so many women who rejected me, only to keep wanting to be "friends", i. e. I get to hear about their lives with zero reciprocity. I might as well be a therapist, except I'm free. It's just a result of narcissism, and women having no incentive to understand men or take an interest in them beyond: "Is he dangerous?" and "What can he do for me?"

[Loveisgirthy]

I'd agree mostly with the women I've come across or hear about as well, but there's been some much more balanced in caring for sure as well.

[Pot8o]

Yeah I'm jaded, sorry

[Loveisgirthy]

Nah I totally get it man haha

[Pot8o]

Thanks, and thanks for MHO

Blockk

[Loveisgirthy]

Yeah I did but somehow her messages still came through just on silent.

[DizzyDesii]

Mute notif is not the same as block

[Loveisgirthy]

I know. And I distinctly remember blocking her. I use Verizon's special texting + thing. I like it less and less. But she's currently blocked.
