Here's a brief summary of the breakup I've been dealing with:

 

We dated for just a few months, but we were so close so fast that it was as intimate as a relationship I had that was years long. Anyways, he left me last may, I begged for monthssss, as in I would call him billions of times, message him like a psychopath, then stop for a few months. Well near the end of last year, I kind of calmed down, and messaged him just once on new years to say I'm leaving this in the past. Good luck with life.

 

After that, I was still missing him, so in early February this year, I messaged him saying I missed him, and he told me he didnt. And that was IT. I WAS DONE. I was moving on and met a new guy and realized this ex would never contact me again and that the past was the past. blah blah blah

 

20 days later, he called me, and since I did not know it was him, I answered...and we just talked for about 10 mins about our lives and hung up. After that I thought he would never call again so I kept going with my life.

 

Then 3 days ago, he called me again and I didn't pick up because I was busy. No contact again since then.

 

BUT WHYYYYYYYYYYYY DO EX'S CALL WHEN YOU ARE JUST MOVING ON???? WHY WOULD HE CALL?? /: now my progress has suddenly disappeared and I keep thinking about him and getting back with him. It just sucks, does anyone have any idea why ex's call back like this or atleast why my ex did and what he wants??? I know now that he will call again because my birthday is coming up so it gives him another reason to call.

 

Any responses are appreaciated!!

You contacted him out of the blue. Therefore he felt it was OK to contact you out of the blue. He didn't do it to get you back.

Put it this way, If this man cared at all for you, he wouldn't have acted the way he did when you text him. No one should be that cold to someone ever he quite simply didn't care.

 

When you broke up, you chased him, pined for him and acted irrationally (we all do it I know I did) you popping up out of the blue most likely boosted his ego (oh she still thinks of me, I guess I can have that again) so now he's getting in contact with you!! Many many exs do this, very often on these forums. It is usually an ego boost for them rather than them caring about you.

 

Your best option here is to reply to his call or text and say thanks for getting in touch, I'm doing great, I have a new boyfriend and I'm moving on in life. I wish you well have a nice life and delete his number.

If you don't feel you have the guts to say that too him say nothing at all and change your number.

 

That's what I did. He can't come back if he doesn't have your number. The pain just isn't worth it x
