“We’ve been dating for a few weeks, but we almost broke up an hour ago.  He showed his whole ass this weekend.  I was visiting my grandmother on Saturday, and my little cousin was having a bake sale, so I spent the whole time baking.  I was focused.  And I’m not good at multitasking.  So I didn’t see his texts for a few hours.  When I finally found my phone, I had all these texts from him.  He’d gotten himself all worked up.  He thought I’d been ignoring him on purpose.  So we talked on the phone about it that night.  I told him: ‘Sometimes I’m busy.’  And he acted like he understood.  But then yesterday he wasn’t answering my texts.  I could see that he was online.  He’d clearly turned off his little blue ticks.  I sent him ten different texts, but no reply.  He was clearly ignoring me.  Then finally at 9 PM he gives me a call, and says: ‘Sorry.  Sometimes I’m busy.’”
