So some back story: I broke up with my ex a few months ago and to this day he constantly texts me, sometimes just random things, begging me to give it another go, or see how my life is going. I would answer to be respectful and because I was always terrified of what he’d do to himself, as he was always threatening self harm. However it finally got to the point of where I just stopped answering completely because I figured it was just giving him the wrong idea [even though I would constantly say I was focusing on myself and wasn’t interested in rekindling].

I also began to realize how manipulative he was during our relationship and how he is just losing it now since he can’t control what I’m doing.. It’s always so insane how much you don’t realize this until it’s over.

Well I thought my text made sense.. But I guess not. I’m literally not dating anyone lol that’s the gag. I mean I guess I get how that can be misinterpreted but still wow.

After this he kept trying to play the victim card by saying how miserable he is.. I really have no words, I asked him to not text me anymore but I know he won’t respect that. 🙃

Don’t know if anyone will read this, but I just really needed to vent.

Edit (for the commenters):

Since the majority of comments are asking why I didn’t block in the first place, I didn’t because I was genuinely scared something would happen. He really convinced me at times and I just couldn’t bear the idea, I mean I’m not a monster I do care about this person.. And secondly I just assumed we could be adults and move forward with our lives, this was very naive of me though considering his manipulative behavior. Which in all honesty took me a long time to finally see that.

And this is just a small snippet of this conversation, as I said I stopped answering a while ago even though he was constantly sending me texts (I put him on ‘ don’t disturb’ and honestly just hoped it would stop) and letters.. I only answered this time around because I thought what I said would be enough closure and I was wrong 🙃

But thank you ladies for your time and input, I finally blocked him. So I’m just hoping for the best and just trying to move on with my life.
