Dear Butterfly:

Why respond to his: “don’t bother to reply, I don’t care that much” text? His text is not an honest, respectful invitation to communicate. On its surface it looks like a non invitation but as it affected you so far, it seems like his text worked as an invitation to communicate because you are considering responding.

Maybe that was his intention, to tell you “don’t bother to reply” so to motivate you to reply.

Want to reward his dishonesty and manipulation as I think is in his texting you? This is an invitation to get on the rollercoaster.

Do block him and get out of the theme park I mentioned earlier, this is my advice.
