planb1973 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I was looking for a number in my "recent calls" list in my phone and saw her name from our last conversation a week ago. Scrolling down my phone called her instead. I immediately hung up. She called me right away. Back story. She broke up with me a couple weeks ago out of nowhere and through a text. When we finally talked she told me she was upset that she thought I hold on to my ex's. I am friends with some women I have dated in the past. Leading up to her ending things I had gone out for a beer with a friend of hers who I had gone on a few dates with a year before meeting her, the same friend who introduced us. Then a recent ex had reached out to me and wanted me to come over as she had surgery and was home bound for a few weeks. I had a phone call where I told her I was in a great relationship and wished her well. Anyway, so she called me immediately after my accidental call. I apologized told her it was an accident asked her how things were and ended the conversation quickly. 5 minutes later I get a text that was jabbing at me "You must have been trying to call a different ex." Why after breaking up with me still find the need to take jabs a me. The having a beer with her friend was a bit of a mistake on my part, but telling a recent ex that I was happy in a new relationship, ie closing that door. I just don't get it.
Haru-no-yuki Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 People take jabs when they're angry and think they've been wronged I guess. Some partners don't like their new girlfriend/boyfriend to remain in touch with their exes. None of my exes stay in touch with me because all their boyfriends specifically asked them not too. Not sure what they were afraid of... I've never been attracted to an ex once we were past the breakup stage. My partner is in touch with most of her exes. I've met one of them and know him quite well. I don't see anything wrong with it.
Author planb1973 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Posted September 27, 2018 What bothers me the most is that non of this got brought to the table for discussion. One moment things were great and the next it was over. I should add also that she has a few ex's still chasing her down. One in particular was making me feel uncomfortable. I expressed this but told her I trusted her to deal with the situation. I do question why she called me back so quickly as I didn't leave a message. Maybe my telling her it was an accident hit on her insecurities so she lashed out.
