He'd been distant, so I broke up by text. But I don't understand his reply!

Question - (18 May 2010) 6 Answers - (Newest, 19 May 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

So my bf has been very distant towards me. Actually he straight up stopped talking to me after a fight we had about my jealousy issue. I understand he needed time to cool off. It was a week then he called me, but I was in the middle of something and couldn't talk. Didn't hear anything from him again except he send me a stupid text about nonsense. I replied then that was that. 2 days later I tried to call him. He didn't pick up and didn't return my call.

At this point, I just feel like he is done with us and is just to much of a coward to say. So I send him a text.

"I understand that this (us) isn't part of your future and I accept that. I will always care for you and I wish you the best. Good Luck. Love Always, Me"

Hours later he responded with a "so that means you'll me the dog?" That has always been a running joke with us. He always joke about stealing my dog.

But really? What kind of a response is that? Is he not taking me seriously? Does he not want to end things and that's why he's making light of the situation. I don't know. I didn't reply to his text. I have no idea what is in that man's head!!! Help please!

Laura1318 agony auntIf he loves and cares for you ,he would seek you out to find out the problems. Or if he knows what is the problem, he would talk to you to settle it.

If he does not, it means that he is not bothered or you are no more on his priority list.

It looks like he is taking lightly about your break up text.

Let him do the chasing.

This is neither here nor there :) I guess he was asking if you'd let him keep the dog as part of the separation agreement! Don't know if he's making light of the situation or he's releived that you ended it and trying to be friends.

BTW, what do you want? Do you want to continue with the guy or end it? Seemed like you were ending it only because he seemed distant.

You should talk to him.

The Great Mark Says agony auntwell if my girlfriend broke up with me via Text Message, i wouldnt take it serious either. maybe im a little old school and still believe in broking up with someone face to face. anyway "being the dog" in the business world means a failure and a quitter. so my best guess is hes asking if your dumping him. good luck

OP here

After that first response he then text me "so is that a no on the dog?" then minutes later he text "I'll throw in a dollar." I haven't respond. Is it bad that I want to make him sweat it out?
