Mis-texts(?)

"Guess who just got some?  This guy!"

This is the text that woke me up at approximately 3:00AM early July this past summer.  It came from my Ex, whose number is still in my phone because we were trying to work out some sort of truce/friendship/thing that allowed me to at least drive around my home town without being forever anxious.  I replied back with "that's...great...?" and went back to bed, amusing that he was just bragging and that he would reply in the morning (that's what friends do, right?  Reply to your texts?).  There was no response in the morning.  Okay, whatever.  I go about my day.  Around noon it starts to bug me because there is still no reply and he should be awake by now, so I text him again "why did you text me this morning?" And then I wait, sure that my more direct response to his bragging will garner a reply.  Twenty-four hours pass.  Still nothing. 

This is the point where I start to get a little bit pissed out.  Just a bit.  ( It may help you to know that earlier in the year [late May] I had told sthis Ex that I may or may not still have feelings for him and that I wanted the two of us to try and be friends again.)  

My outlet at the time was my Deviantart.com journal, so I post the following:

How to piss/confuse off you ex who may or may not still have [repressed] feelings for you.
Step 1) Text them at approximately 3 AM proclaiming that you have lost your virginity/just had sex.
Step 2) Refuse to respond to their confused reply that they send when they wake up and read your text.
Step 3) Later in the day, probably sometime after lunch, when they text you again asking what prompted you to text them that message in the first place, continue to ignore them.  Do note, though, that this text at 3 AM was the first time you have started a conversation with them in about a year.
Step 4) Do not get online, so that said ex cannot question you via any connection they have to you through the internet.

I wait some more.   

A mutual friend replies- thank the gods! A reply!- a bit confused over why I'm angry, but after an explanation says that he'll talk to my ex.  It's three days after the 3:00AM text when I finally get "Sorry, I meant to send that to Justin."

Fuck that, I call Bullshit, but I'll accept the apology and move on with my life.  Firstly, you should have noticed you sent the text to the wrong person when I replied.  Secondly, I messaged you a SECOND time asking for a reason for the text (had I gotten the "it was a mis-text" message then I would have accepted it) and got no response.  Thirdly, it took someone other than me telling you that you were being a dick for you to finally say something to me.  It took THREE DAYS to get a response, by which time I know you were just bragging and didn't want to fess up, or  you didn't want to admit to yourself that telling your ex-girlfriend that you just lost your virginity was a bad idea to begin with.   

If you hadn't figured it out yet, the above is why I don't consider myself on speaking terms with my Ex.

  2. I just expected more tact from him (or to never be contacted again ever) after we broke up. I mean, I didn't text him when I lost my virginity.
