Why do the dumbers contact you after you have started to forget about them

[GivingUp]

Why does it happen? I feel like I did when she broke up with me. What is she thinking? Being friends with your exs never works!

Ok, so the x finally called... man did she put on a good show. She said a lot of things that i htought she meant.... come to find out she didnt.

1) said part of her regrets leaving

2) said she is not ready to date or go out... and some guy tried to touch her hand and she did not like the feeling of that

3) said she cares about me and loves me

4) said she has not been able to sleep, or eat

5) said she has cried herself to sleep a few times

6)asked me if I closed the door to her

well you get the picture.... then today I call her and a guy who she swears is just a friend was in the background at her house... or she was at his house. one or the other. And she was being hella short and really did not wan tto talk to me. What in the world is going on. Am I suppsed to believe that he is just a "friend." So trust me bro... I know exactly what you are going through. I decided not to answer the phone again if and when she calls

Yeah, same thing happened to me. He said a lot of things that you just wouldn't say to someone unless you've been thinking about another chance.

 

This happened 3 weeks ago, and have I heard from him since? NO! It's like they sense you moving on and need to give that knife one final twist. It made me angery at him and has fueled me into moving on even more!

Why does it happen?

 

Because they're dumb.

Because they're looking for reassurance. Being able to walk away when you're dumped hurts their egos. You're supposed to be groveling and begging for them back.

 

That, and they're dumb.
