this is someone you knew for a VERY short period of time - and he's been OUT of your life more than IN it. no matter how SOLID you hung out with him for THREE little months. SEVEN months ago.
all he did was TEXT you. used his thumbs to type some words and hit send. you get to decide how much importance you give that. or if you even bother to acknowledge. do you REALLY want people in your life that bail out and go radio silent when they feel like it? that's up to you....we teach people how to treat us.
I have to agree with this Crissy. Of course I'm all new to the addiction and relationships with an addict situation, I think me being right where you were 7 months ago, currently learning about addiction and recovery, he definitely does not seem to be emotionally ready to deal with challenges fully - thus, a text will allow him to make a general contact but without the full commitment that could result in rejection. This appears to still be a selfish attitude. I believe that they are suppose to be able to step out of that selfishness before you can really consider how genuine their intentions are in reconnecting with you. He should be able to accept what he had done to you in the past, the pain he caused you, and be in a place where he can look you in the face and apologize, or at the very least, reach out to you in person.
