Well I did reply and basically wished him happy holidays and said thanks. He ignored it. He could easily ignore stuff. I was never the person to be too much there. I always respected his space. He ignored several texts in the past and I let them go.

I was well aware the texting would end then. Actually when i sent the photo that am. I wrote, i know you lose your phone soon but I wanted to send this so you could see it before. I knew exactly when it all ended and he had no reason to assume I'd think we'd keep texting

Also it's funny you mentioned b&w thinking. He brought it up often and even in his goodbye letter said something about remembering its not always or never. I even sent this text screenshot to my friend who is pretty rational compared to me and she said it sounded robotic
