Hey guys! So here is my situation any advice will help and will definitely be appreciated! As I am in need of it!! Thanks :)

 

My ex sporadically contacts me and I've asked him to respect my wishes to be left alone. We've been broken up a little over a year and since then he has been in two failed relationships. On the other hand, I am single and I've "sorta" moved on. My ex seems to contact me when he isn't in a relationship. Recently we ran into each other, he asked me why I was distant and I told him that I frankly wasn't ready to be his friend. After that he randomly text me and asked what I was doing, small talk. At first he was nice but then he became a total jerk with short responses like he didn't care. My question to you why is he contacting me all of sudden? What should I do if he contacts me again? Should I email/text him and express my feelings towards him? I'm confused and I hate feeling like he is stringing me along, because I feel like I still love him but then I again I don't because he isn't the right person for me.

 

Background info on relationship: I was his first gf we are both in our 20's. We were together for about a year and half. Broke up due to arguing and him wanting his space.

He's probably lonely and horny. He wanted his space so give it to him,, ignore him.

I suppose, as far as the space situation that was the background info on why we broke up over a year ago. I have never iniated any type of contact with him. It's always been him contacting me. But you're right I will ignore him. Thanks!

Would you be interested in rekindling things with him? Sounds like you can do better.

 

If not just send him a text and make it very clear. "Listen, I'm not ready to be friends with you now. When I want to talk again I'll contact you."

 

Or something along those lines, but make it clear and direct.

No, I would not rekindle things with him. He is very indesive and when it comes to relationships he is very immature. He has not changed and I can tell by the way he continues to act.

 

I have told him in the past that I would contact him when I'm ready to be friends. Apparently, that didn't work. I guess I'll have to be even more direct or flat out ignore him. Thanks for your advice!
