Nearly a year after we broke up, I run into him. Rather, he comes up to me when alone and away from friends. We admitted we still think about each other, though I shared how much he hurt me, the way we broke it off. He suggested that we get together later that week, and texted later to confirm. I shared my availabilities and it’s a week later and he still hasn’t responded. Oh yeah, this is the behavior I hated, so avoidant. I should let him go completely right? 😭

he just wanted to see if the door was still open and if he still had access to you. He didn’t actually wanna get with you again. Don’t believe his words, believe actions. Inaction is an action unto itself. How many times will he have to show you he doesn’t want you? choose yourself instead. Block him and move on.

Block him he sounds like a narcissist they like to breadcrumb exes makes them feel wanted

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.
