Do not call.

Recently, my ex boyfriend has decided to text me late at night when he is drinking.  He has always done this, but it has recently grown more and more intense.  I don't know why.  Actually, I do know why, it is because he knows I am seeing other people and is trying to manipulate me.  He does not like that he is no longer the center of my universe.   I want to be clear and let you all know that I do not respond to these late night texts.  THIS GIRL is worth way more than a late night booty call!  I do not understand why he continues this behavior.  The definition of insanity...and all that.
On Saturday night a suitor of mine returned home from a week long work trip.  I was very excited for his return and eager to greet him with my full attention!  To my dismay my ex begins texting me at 10pm and continues.  I proceed to ignore these texts, but find that they still affect me and my ability to focus on my time with said suitor.  I did not like that one little bit.  
So Monday morning rolls around.  I find that I am angry with my ex for attempting to ruin this weekend for myself and my suitor.  All I really want is to move my life forward and he is preventing that as much as I try to say he isn't, it's tough.  I decide to make a phone call.  After work, I give him a little ring, for a grown up conversation.  I explain to Mr Ex that his texts are affecting me and that I know he is not doing it to hurt me, but it is hurting me and my time with Mr Suitor (certain to mention Mr Suitor of course).  He responds with his usual "I don't know," when asked why he does it and he tells me that he never looked at it that way and certainly doesn't want to hurt me or prevent me from living my life.  We catch up on our lives briefly.  He then agrees to change my number to "do not call," in his phone.  I say "Thank you!  I really appreciate you doing that!"  Likely the first and last time I will ever respond to those words with such enthusiasm.
