lingardx Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 so me and my ex have had lc since we broke up with was saturday night, if i text him he will reply. anyway last night at 11pm he texted "what's up? X" just wondering i should reply or not? i want him back badly so i don't want him to think that i'm not interested! then at 12.30am he put on facebook 'Ok.... So now i'm beginning to feel like **** constantly... only took a few days' he probably means because i screwed him over but idk, but does it mean he misses me by the facebook post? idk
confusedx10 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 i need to know the whole story and its up to you whether to respond or not... just think long and hard about whether you actually want him back or if you are guilty and bored

SoConfusedAndInShock Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 first off Congrats lol (still waiting on my ex to do that haha) but hey THINK though before you reply!!! Take your time. it can wait couple more of hours. yes i know you want him but dont come off Skippy and over joyed right off the bat. that might send him back running. dont over think what his status means (yeah we women tend to do that. just our nature) but before you send him anything make sure it doesn't come off desperate. ive made that mistake couple of times in the past. BE CLASSY when/if you do reply. keep it short and sweet. dont expect to much out this though so you wont set yourself for failure and go back into crying mode. good luck!

P.s. Keep up posted on this "new chapter" if all works out lol 1

P.s. Keep up posted on this "new chapter" if all works out lol though i don't know if he's saying lets be friends as his way of softening the blow. but he's said he's saying it so in time we could get back together. blah, thank you. i hope it does! i hope i can come back on here in a few months and write about how we are the happiest couple alive ...... well i can dream right? haha 1
whatdoesntkillyou Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 though i don't know if he's saying lets be friends as his way of softening the blow. but he's said he's saying it so in time we could get back together. blah, thank you. i hope it does! i hope i can come back on here in a few months and write about how we are the happiest couple alive ...... well i can dream right? haha Good luck! I am in the same boat so I am none the wiser, but from reading the threads there seem to be at least 4 reasons why exs text with seemingly provocative or mixed messages Even if they don't like you they still have a void that needs to be filled - they might still miss you on a level - texting you gives them some sort of relief.They're trying to allay some deap-seated guiltThey genuinely miss you and want to reach outThey want you to be friends/try to keep you as a 'back-up' in case whatever rebound they're on doesn't work out.As one of my friends advised me, talk is cheap! So tread very carefully and watch his moves. I agree with SoConfusedAndInShock, think before you reply and start low go slow! Good luck!!!!!!!! 1

Good luck!!!!!!!! thank you, i know for a fact my ex will not be on any rebound as he can't get his head around what's happened and he's said that is the last thing that's on his mind. even though i have a 1% chance of getting him back i won't give up hope 1
whatdoesntkillyou Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Don't give up. We're all pining for some good news on this site!!
Author lingardx Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 ok i give up haha. he just told my friend "it's probably best we don't text alot.. make it easier" i now officially have lost any hope of getting this guy back and i'm going to start the moving on process
whatdoesntkillyou Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Oh I am sorry to hear! It's closure nonetheless... I feel like I am in this limbo...
SoConfusedAndInShock Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 first off y is he texting your friend and not you directly? uhm weird... idc if its a common friend or w.e unless hes asking her/him (ur friend) for help to get back with you i dont like this going back and fourth with txt msgs of nonsense and your friend should set that straight with him. your feeling are on the line and he should know it. but wither way im sorry i really hope all works out for you two.

Author lingardx Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 just want to do an update to anyone who may read this. my ex said to me "until i can trust you i cannot be with you" so i said "how can i regain it if you won't give me the chance" he says "you can regain it out of a relationship" so now what i really need to know is how do i regain his trust? i don't think he wants to meet up with me so that's a no go. though i will be asking him in a few days if he wants to go away with me on the 25th of this month - something we had planned the day before we broke up. but i think he'll say no. what can i do to win back his trust? nothing stalkerish or crazy type but i seriously need to win back his trust. i don't care if it looks like i'm being obsessive. i love this guy and i would move mountains to try and make it work

So be the girl he fell in love with. think as if you just met and please DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!!! this is your chance to make it or beak it so take it slow dont rush things on him as you'll set him back running. If you have to apologize to clear some tensions be sincere about and do so && MEAN IT!! all you can do is be you. put the past to rest and play on a new game plan. thats just my opinion but take the time to do what YOU think is right. lol best of luck darling!!

flitzanu Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 instead of tryign to interpret vague facebook posts, you should just block him. that way you don't spend hours trying to figure out what he means by "i just really wanted peanut butter" and how it relates to you.

flitzanu Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 i don't have him on facebook. it's my friend telling me stuff that she thinks might be relevant that's not any better. you're still facebook stalking if someone is reporting info to you. you're never going to move past this if you keep living in this black hole of your breakup.
