andie1969 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Went to the movies today, came out to text from my ex who I haven't seen/talked to in almost 3 months. The text? Telling me he had got Netflix and was almost caught up with a show I had told him I liked. WTF?! I need to stay strong and not succumb to that drivel! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Zahara Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Common. I used to get those random text messages about Netflix, a movie, football game, etc. Throwing out bait. Hoping you'll bite. Probably bored and looking for attention. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Succumb to what? He was just telling you that you were right about a show. No breadcrumbs here. However, if you think he's full of drivel, just block him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

However, if you think he's full of drivel, just block him. This ex and I broke up & got together once before, I know his game. So easy to fall back into old patterns of texting which I don't want to do. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BC1980 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I used to get that type of stuff too. One time, my ex texted me to tell me he had worn a tie I bought him. Stupid stuff. It used to boost my ego for a bit though. I think you need to look at why you aren't blocking him and why you are worried about what he texts you. The answer to that is far more important than what he is texting you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author andie1969 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm not really worried about it, just sharing here instead of replying to him. It would be so easy to do, simply because it was comfortable, even though I know I don't want to be back together. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

bummer Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Maybe he wants to show that he's still thinking of you... Only on a really shallow, insignificant level. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It would be so easy to do, simply because it was comfortable, even though I know I don't want to be back together. It always starts off so innocently. You start to think there is no harm in answering one, and then you get hooked again. You are smart enough to know the dangers. Stay strong. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
freebird31 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I got a text once from my ex right after our breakup that said he found a stray cat in the park and wanted to know if I wanted it. LOL. I am allergic to cats by the way, which he knows.....yeah, dont reply. It means nothing. I do consider it a breadcrumb. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TheLoveBelow92 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Maybe he wants to show that he's still thinking of you... Only on a really shallow, insignificant level. Thats exactly all it is, he just wants you to know that hes still thinking about you if he didnt care he wouldnt text. Link to post Share on other sites
