i broke up with my boyfriend of 11 1/2 months over a year ago but we remained friends as we both have leadership positions in our high school marching band that require us to work together. we broke up my junior year and it’s now senior year and i decided to cut him off as he was beginning to become toxic again. during our relationship, he was mentally and emotionally abusive and very controlling and it was starting to get that way again to the point where he convinced me to get back with him twice. didn’t last long but it has been a year since the last time we were together. i cut him off maybe around two months ago or so and i have never been happier with my life. i blocked everyone form of communication but forgot about cell phone because we hardly talked that way so i forgot i still had his number. i just got three messages from him i haven’t read yet. should i read them and see what he wants? and if so should i respond or keep communication cut off between us?
