I apologize in advance, but I'm speaking in generalities and stereotypes.
Why do men think women are the enigmas when clearly it is the adult male who is all screwed up? Why tell me you want to get together this weekend, then tell me the morning after we were going to get together that you're sorry and were feeling bad about the holidays? Do you want me to chase you? Mother you? Feel sorry for you? Feel bad that you didn't call? Yeah, see, I had forgotten that you were going to call me and already had plans.
I just don't get it. I feel like texting him back and saying "No, you thought and were hoping something 'better' would come along and were hoping I would stay in a holding pattern until you decided you wanted me. Sorry, but that's not how life works." But I try very hard to not be mean until and unless warranted. It doesn't do anyone any good although it may feel good in the moment. I suppose that's what being an adult feels like. Not snapping the neck of a poor defenseless idiot just because you can.
But now remains the question - How do I respond? Do I respond at all?
Questions for the ages, I suppose...

I'd probably respond but in a very perfunctory way, letting him know that I would have appreciated him letting me know he wasn't going to show up. And that not doing so was rude. Then I probably wouldn't make any other plans with him for a long while, if ever.
