I contacted my ex after car accident

[lourdes_bern]

Hey all,

 

Some of you might know that my ex dumped me about 2 months ago. We were in LC first, which was very confusing, and finally, about a week ago, I put my foot down and began NC. I unfriended him on Facebook 3 days ago and he apparently got very upset about it.

 

Last night I got in a car accident due to the tornadoes and thunderstorms in my area. It was a hit and run (the other driver didn't stick around) and I was by myself, scared and in the dark in an unfamiliar area, so I called my ex. (I also called insurance, parents, etc.) i know I shouldn't have expected my ex to pick up, and he didn't. I left him a voice mail asking for help and explaining the situation but he never responded.

 

I know I shouldn't be angry or disappointed because I am the one who initiated NC and he's respecting that. There are rumors that he may have been in an accident recently and I did not reach out to him about it.

 

I did eventually get a friend to come and help me. That shows I don't need my ex.

 

I can't help but feel angry and sad, though. I know it is NC but it feels like indifference, like he doesn't care. I'm mad at myself for contacting him, too. I know logically I shouldn't expect anything but emotionally I'm torn up.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It's possible that he never listened to your voicemail because he thought the call would be about something else. most people wouldn't expect a call about a car accident.

I think he received it, he has a program which transcribes voice messages into texts. I know he probably thought I could handle it fine but part of me still thinks he is an a**hole for not checking up on me. I know it's irrational too.

You will relax in a day or two. The accident is probably playing on your mind too. Just give yourself a little bit of time and you will feel better.
