I am almost never “single” but okay.
No need to continue the unnecessary beratement.
His behavior is weird. It explains to me why he has never been in a serious relationship by late 30s. Not entertaining this anymore.

But not only is he not willing to be controlled that way, he gets off controlling her by jerking her around and manufacturing emotional responses born out of the confusion and resentment he’s generating in her. This guy apparently said he wanted them to exclusive, then he’s inexplicably switched it up and is acting like an airhead. All the while he seems innocent, while she’s looking more and more unhinged trying to understand what’s going on because it makes no sense. So here is what’s going on: your disappointed and indignant behavior is exactly what he’s enjoying from you now. It means he is at least a few ladder rungs above you. Kick this guy off the ladder and and anyone else like it at the first signs of this behavior.

Because I did not want to be called, that is why I texted that. Also, given our rapport, it is not strange. He texts me details like that too when he is busy so I know calling would not be a good time to chat. That is why I texted that. An entire narrative based on a few texts I have shared is not enough to be accurate. Anyway, he is not worth exclusivity.

If he wanted to call you, he would have done so instead of texting. Also, don't see this man at all any more, exclusively or not. What are you thinking?!!!

Exactly. Good for you, OP. He sounds dysfunctional to say the least
