I like your idea about "keep the door open a crack", so I did respond -- only because he initiated.

The meme picture I sent a "LOL! CLASSIC!" and the cat picture I said, "Sure is! Love them!"

And then let it go and didn't reply anymore. I WILL NOT be responding to any more sexual texts, period. Those I will ignore.

ME: 38
BF: 40
T: 10y, no kids, no M (by choice)
BD: 7/14/14, BF admits to PA, wants out, lies about new R.
10/1/14: I move out, BF lies about move in with OW
12/4/14: OW confronted, reveals all the lies
