Got texted by my ex...

El Diablo 101

Wassup guys... (perhaps read my previous thread - cutting contact with ex)

You're gonna kill me ha. My ex-gf texted me asking if I was ringing her in the middle of the night. Of course it isn't me, but...I texted her back telling her it wasn't me. Now she is back in my head, coming up to Christmas. Maybe she was doing it to annoy me, or maybe she was genuinely getting calls in the middle of the night, I don't know, but I thought I'd be mature, and text her back.

Should have changed my number...now I'm p!$$ed off.

Time has helped me to get over her, but coming up to Christmas I will get a bit emotional ha. Gotta keep myself busy I suppose...

thats just typical that is. as soon as you start to get over the ex they find a way to pop back in and do your head in!! :mad:
try and forget about her again, and dont text her back!!!
be strong you can do it!

Did she contact you after you texted her back? Has she met someone else, or was she trying to contact you, because it Christmas and she feels lonely too?

Just don't text back and do something to keep your mind off her. She'll be out of your head quicker this time.

Nah she didn't contact me after I texted back, although I was kinda dismissive in the text, I just said it wasn't me. I don't know if she has met someone else. My heads wrecked after texting her back....maybe I still love her, or am just a sap.

gggrrrrrr

Go buy a new Sim card tomorrow and be done with it. She'll be out of your life for good then.

Thank me later

Or just get your network to block her number from calling your phone. That way you can have her gone without having to go through the trouble of giving everyone a new number.

this is a great idea- i had this done to a guy who wouldnt stop annoying me! the only thing is that it doesnt stop text messages so there is nothing to stop her from texting you!

its hard when an ex texts you not to text them back, if anything but out of courtesy to respond to a text but there are times when you just have to NOT text back! move on with your life because if you have her on your mind then you are not going to be able to move on! Find someone new to set your sights on and you wont be long forgetting her!

Well im a girl and I got a strange email from an ex today. Turned out it was spam email. So i emailed him asking if he sent it, then he replied saying it was spam. Then we ended up having a conversation. Fair enough I know nothing is going to happen with this ex. If I was not interested in this ex, I would never have emailed him about the spam. I would have just left the email as spam.

I dont want to get your hopes up. But I think if she wasnt thinking of you, she wouldnt have sent the text! In my theory and its ridiculous, but I would say feck it...she has started the conversation...id text, by the way how are you doing! Thats if you wanted. Ok it might not lead to anywhere, but it could. At the moment your single. What have you to loose? (ok maybe sanity) Sorry I apply the "feck it" attitute to alot of things in life.

"feck it" is great a lot of the time (it's how i have burns inside my microwave) but not in times like this. I think i can remember this blokes previous thread and his ex is a bit of a bitch. I think she is just stringing him along and is best to avoid.

Can't give any advice on your ex though im afraid

He was happily getting over her until she got in touch. If he remains in touch with her his feelings will all flow back. What has he got to lose? A non-miserable Christmas thinking about someone he had finally started to get out of his head.

Ignore your ex OP.

If you have a Samsung phone you can block calls and texts easy enough afaik.

The only problem with him blocking her number is that she can still call it from another number or something.

Changing his number solves the problem. She will have no way of getting in contact.

Also, I can't shake the feeling that she text'd him to give him a little reminder of her and to give herself a bit of a ego boost hopefully.

Just change your number, that way you're not trying to get her blocked and hoping it works. Just think of the relief you will have of not having to worry about getting a text or something on your phone that brings it all flooding back.

Really believe this...
OP - for your own sake and longterm happiness follow GMs advice. He is not putting you wrong here.
You have already told us you were doing well - you were well on your way to getting over her. The timing of this stinks and reeks of someone giving their own ego a stroke here.

That's an old trick - texting saying "I just missed a call - was it from you?"

As if you'd be calling her from an unknown number? Don't let her wriggle her way back into your head OP. If it's over, it's over and just because she might want a little ego boost from having you chase her a bit more it doesn't mean you have to go along with it.

Forget it. Just think of all the sweet, fun uncomplicated girls with Santa hats you're going to meet out and about coming up to Christmas!

This is actually a lot harder to get done than you think. I had a serious problem with an ex of mine who was stalking me. It was unbelievable. 18-20 texts a day, calls at 4 or 5 in the morning and it went on for months. I asked a friend of mine who works for Vodafone what the deal would be with getting her number blocked and he told me it's almost never works as they've to block the number at each base-station. Anyway, that's besides the point.

It can be very hard ignoring an ex you want to stay in contact with. But for your own sanity, OP, exercise will-power. I know it's hard now, but with each passing day, it'll get easier.

Have you bought your new sim card yet?
