Contact with ex

If you really want him out of your life then block his number and throw the cards away it’s not difficult.

Speaking from experience - block him. He's attempting to keep doors open. Slam them shut.

He is history, block him, don’t encourage him to make you look backwards, look to the future.

Is he 'hedging his bets' maybe his new relationship is not as good as he would like.????

Don’t allow him into your head again. You are in a position whether to allow this contact or not, if not, Block him!

Having known someone with similar behaviour, I’d agree with others. He’s hedging his bets and keeping the door open. You’re a fallback for him and he, undoubtedly, had others whilst with you. Block him, no good will ever come from a man like him.

Yes, block him. Sounds like you are one of his bits on the side that you suspected he had when he was with you. This is a game that you don't have to participate in.

Oh dear, Gordonbennett, I think I know him. Even down to the CD! One of my less successful forays into relationships ?

My dear, he’s delusional. He can’t really believe that you’re still not hankering after him, how can you not wish you were still with his wonderful self?

Block him. Return post unopened. Rejoice that you got away.

He’ll still think you’re pining for him...........

You bruised his ego when you dumped him Gordonbennett and he's still smarting; maybe because no one else has done what you were wise enough to do. I can almost guarantee that if you were to allow him one tiny foot back in the door, he will not have changed one iota and in a few months time you'd be back at square one. Block his number and ask your kids to do the same.

Gordonbennett My ex was just like him. Remember, your ex is your ex for a reason. He is deceiving this other woman now. Don't let him into your headspace. He will wreck your equilibrium.

You've been strong before, and you can be strong now. Block him!

You must get like this little poem I wrote on parting......

“Dear (insert name) thank you very much for having me.
I know I said I wanted to get laid
And you said you were awfully good at doing it.
It seems a shame you didn’t make the grade.

I think the time has come to go our separate ways.
Your ego took a damage we can’t mend.
You thought you were my dream, I woke and saw the light.
It goes to show we never should pretend.

And no for Gods sake, we can’t still be friends! ?

Don’t know where the Get came from. Must check before posting.

GB , he's not feeling sorry for you , he's feeling sorry for himself !
Maybe now with these strange times going on he's in reflection of his life with you and feels that it was maybe more comfy than the relationship he's in now ?
Nah, do not respond , do not let him into your head again .
My ex of 36 years phoned me up last week out of the blue , wondering if I was ok , then spent the next 2 hours telling me all about his problems ! Strange creatures indeed ?

I would block him in your position.

Thank you for all your responses, they are much appreciated indeed. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say, just needed some reassurance.

He's trying to get back inside your head. Don't let him. He's up to no good.
