Ex texted me!

SineadMarie

Hi all, Really short one basically my ex called off all contact in January to say it was hard was an understatement. I was left with unanswered questions etc. I basically put it down to the fact that he was just a coward and that i deserved better than that. Anyway two months later on Paddys day he texts me "Hey how are you" I straight away deleted it and blocked his number. I'm wondering did i do the right thing. I know he didn't deserve an answer i just want to hear what other people think hes up to?? I've no interest in contacting him and pretty much over him dont worry, its just got my head thinking again i guess.

I think you did the right thing. It's hard to know what he wants from you now, maybe he feels bad for how things ended & is trying to make the peace or wants to be friends now, maybe he's after an ego boost etc There's a lot of possibilities but as you said yourself you're over him now so I'd try and forget about it:)

Without a doubt I think you did the right thing. Don't go through the head wreck again!

Wow! Well done you!!
Strong and sassy-could be any number of reasons he text you. Honest there could be a good few if I was to make a list. Main thing though, if you are over him, would it matter? Just think that finally you got your peace about this with yourself. I know it was hard for you as I remember your posts.

you did the right thing : )

You absolutely 100% did the right thing. He dropped you like a hot snot, he broke your heart (I remember your threads on it) and then sent you a "sniffer" text on the annual national binge drinking day to see if you'd rise to the bait? Really? :rolleyes: Some people are reprehensible. Call me a cynic but I doubt it was to declare undying and ask to start again. He was testing the water and WELL DONE YOU on having the strength and dignity not to respond, I'm sure there must have been an element of temptation/curiosity. You've had the last laugh, well done!

wow. well done. I wasnt even half that strong when an ex texted me in the past. well done, you do realise you have had the last laugh now. Ive never believed in having the upper hand or the last laugh in dating cases. But when someone has really hurt you and made you doubt yourself. you deserve it. dont doubt yourself now, it shows you have moved on somewhat. good for you.

Thanks everyone just needed it from an outside opinion i guess. I think it was prob to just test the water, seems to be all about the chase with him. It did make me feel great to be able to just delete it i must say. Hopefully that will be the end. Like come on what does he think ill reply after what he did. Men!!!!!!!

I think when exes text like that they are checking to make sure that you are still at home crying your eyes out over them. Well done you for not replying.

I am a friend

you 100% done the right thing.
If he wanted you in his life he wouldn't have treated & upset you like he did. Prob in the pub few drinks on him and bord.
His loss.

Fair play to you - a lot of people wouldn't have the courage to do that.
