I had a rocky on and off relationship with my ex that lasted a year. He was constantly hot and cold, downright mean, and admittedly selfish. The typical cycle was he would treat me poorly, I'd break it off, he'd come back, and I'd take him. Things would be good for a bit but deteriorate very quickly and then back to square one. The only reason I can think of that I kept taking him back was that we had very strong chemistry.

 

We broke up 3.5 months ago. He initiated it and I tried to convince him it could work, but I realized midway thru the conversation that it was just more of the same and that he'd be back. I told him I was sick of it all, hung up, and immediately blocked his number. I couldn't trust myself not to take him back again if/when he called.

 

In the following weeks I got some calls from numbers I didn't know from his area code (out of state for me), so I'm fairly certain he knows I blocked him.

 

Now it's 4 months later, I'm dating someone new who's fantastic but we lack the crazy chemistry I had with the ex. Not that there's no chemistry... Just less intense.

 

Anyway the ex, who never had facebook while we were dating, suddenly friend requests me. I'm upset and angry, and I can't put my finger on why! I shouldn't give a crap, but I'm livid. He treated me so badly - what makes him think we should be "friends" - facebook or otherwise? Why the he'll can't he just stop popping up and leave me alone for good? I hate all the emotions he's stirred up with such a stupid move...

Just ignore all forms of contact and eventually he'll give up.
