jharte23 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 My ex and I recently broke up. We were living together and I found out she was cheating on me and moved out. Now she is with the guy and I am moving forward with life. I am doing no contact with her but the problem is she keeps texting me things that she knows I'll respond to. I suspect she does it to keep in contact with me but it is just stupid. The day after I moved my stuff out she text me and said I took her baking tray she just bought and some of her tools that were in the tool cabinet. I do not like being accused of stealing and I wanted to be nice so I responded and told her I must of taken the tray by accident thinking it was mine and that I would look through the tools to see what was hers. Turned out it was just a hammer. If it was me I would of just shelled out the 8 bucks for a new tray and the 3 dollars for a new hammer and avoided the conversation. I left my gym bag there and just replaced everything instead of dealing with her. Since then she has done it again. She text me last night and said she she had some mail at the house for me and if I wanted she'd write on it no longer lives here and put it back in the mailbox. Now wouldn't you just do that and not text that you were going to do it? I did not want to but I responded to that one as well, since it involved my stuff. She was at the bar when she sent that one. Why does she keep sending me texts like that? She knows I will not talk to her otherwise. Is she trying to get me to talk to her? How would you guys handle this situation?
kindest Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 My ex was like that too, but instead of text he used instant messaging. It went on for months. When we broke up I was clear that I didn't want us to keep contact any longer but he just won't have it. I was having a hard time and part of me just wanted to ignore him until he got tired, but a bigger part of me knew that I just can't ignore him because ignoring him makes me freel bad. I confronted him about it. I told him we should stop talking for now and that maybe in the future we can talk again. He understood (that's what he said), and has stopped contacting me since. It has been 13 days, it's been hard and I still miss him every day but I feel somewhat better than when he was still keeping in touch with me.
