I got a message on grindr from someone I used to hook up with on a regular basis earlier this year. He was pressuring me to be exclusive with him, but I said no. Then at the beginning of September when I told him I had been hooking up with other guys, he got angry and blocked me. For 3 months, I thought that was that, but then he messaged me out of nowhere to say "hi." He sent the message yesterday afternoon, and I just logged on today and saw it and said "hi" back.
I thought this guy's expectations about exclusivity were unreasonable given what the circumstances were, but maybe it's just me. He has a much more complicated life than I do, so the entire time we were together, I accommodated his schedule. He has 2 jobs (1 full time, 1 part time) and 2 families (1 with his ex-wife and another with a woman he was never married to) with 2 custody schedules to juggle. Meanwhile, I only have 1 job and no kids, so at first I thought it was reasonable that I would accommodate him. But then I started to get resentful of being "squeezed in" whenever it suited him, and sometimes, when we had made plans already he would cancel last minute (sometimes when I had already started driving there) because something fell through.
He lives a 1.5 hour drive from my house, and I always made that drive over there. Not once did he come over to my house. This was a situation where I would drive 3 hours roundtrip just to see someone for an hour (sometimes only a little bit more). He's actually a nice guy, and I enjoyed having him around, and I wouldn't mind having him around again. But given the circumstances, I thought it was unreasonable for him to expect me not to have any others in addition to him.
How do I handle this situation? We've just exchanged "hi's" at this point.
