I thought I knew him pretty well, and I thought one of the things I knew about him was that "houdiniing" was uncharacteristic. But I realize I barely knew him at all. So who knows if that was a normal behavior for him. I do know that when the girl he was seeing before me asked him what was going on in their relationship (via text), he replied with a vague song lyric. He also said that "she couldn't take a hint" and kept texting him even when he wouldn't answer her. I scolded him for that, I told him he should have just been honest with her. He also said "she had served her purpose". I don't know what made me think he wouldn't treat me the same way when I'd served my purpose. :-( I guess I thought because we were more friends than anything else he wouldn't feel the need to dump me in that fashion. So the more I think about it, the more I think he's probably just a bad person. But what hurts is that I'm sure he's capable of being a nice guy if he wants. I'm sure he's nice enough to his new girlfriend. Why couldn't he treat me with dignity?
