Have any of you guys experienced an ex who made it clear that you both have different life goals and was actually really rude, demanding and disrespectful to you and when you finally cut it off they are randomly checking in on you?

You have to block them or the unhealthiness will continue.

Agree. What is the positive for you in having them check in? Sounds like an emotional nightmare

This is called “fishing” to see if he catches you in a vulnerable state - just block this person

Yes. 10+ years ago and he still checks in on me if he’s in town.
• I know I’m not in danger
• I found that once I stopped reacting to the nuisance of him reaching out, he stopped reaching out as much
• once upon a time we were friends. I just think of it as an old friend saying hi. The interaction stays short if he happens to reach out. I never reach out.

It’s taken a while, but I don’t hear from him anymore or nearly as much. As long as you’re not in danger, just don’t pay it any mind.

Sigh. I did and then unblocked because I’m stupid. I’m trying to get there. I’ve been in an unhealthy dynamic since 2022 but the behavior got unacceptable late last year.

Block and never look back. The person is not going to change.
