Shes engaged and contacting me


Recommended Posts

Hello All, I need some clarity and i hope i can find it here. Me and my ex girlfriend have been broken up for 5 years but the last 3 1/2 years shes been reaching out to me. She says shes been thinking about me. Keep in mind she dumped me thinking I cheated but I didn't. She told all her friends and family I cheated so I understand she couldn't come back without looking stupid to all these ppl. Anyway I moved on and met someone 1 year later and still with this woman, while my ex has been in several relationships until 2 years ago.

Shes been contacting me the second year of our break up. I was so confused on why she was adamant about seeing me. Anyway shes been with this guy now for 2 years and got engaged with him 6 months into dating him. Im in a different space but curious on why she continues contacting me. So I played alittle with her and started asking questions like "Do u miss me?" She says of course but that wasnt the kicker. One day we are having an all day text marathon and she stated there have been times she was mad at him because he wasnt me. She also told me she has masturbated to thoughts of our love making..wow. I find it hard to believe so I said to her "Stop lying, theres no need to" and she reassured me she wasnt lying, so my next question was "then was stay engaged" and she said "I dont know". I even played around and asked her "Let just run away together" and she tells me in 4 years when her son is off to college. Then turns around and says if I do that everyone would be so upset with me. I dont think this woman knows what she wants. Or maybe what she wants is just to see if the feelings are still there but what if they are, then what? Maybe all this is just games, but why?6

She stated to me she wants to go out for lunch to catch up as she says but I'm saying to myself we caught up already on all things, sound like an excuse to see me but I believe she just want to see if the feelings are still there. I need help, what's going on in this situation or this womans mind and should I meet up with her? Help

I'd say the same about you, frankly.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're in a relationship? And have been for four years? How do you think your girlfriend would feel if she knew you were talking to your ex about her masturbations habits, about running away together? I mean, you can sit here and psychoanalyze your ex but at this point that seems like a pretty easy way to avoid holding yourself accountable for engaging in some pretty shady behavior.

 

Are you happy with your girlfriend? If so, I don't see any point in engaging with your ex the way you've been doing.

Stop playing games. Its cruel to toy with your ex's emotions. Why do you know about her different relationships? If you were faithful to your girlfriend, you wouldn't be keeping tabs or accepting contact from your ex. End contact. Now. Unless you are prepared to tell your current girlfriend that you are meeting with your ex to see if she still has feelings. I am sure that will go over well

Its amazing how someone can be so blind to their own nefarious goings on.

You seem very preoccupied with the wrong woman. The person you should be thinking about and wondering about or building your life with is your girlfriend. I don't feel it's a good idea for you to date anyone at all. Come clean about your communication with your ex with your girlfriend and let her go. The more you live in these shadows the shadier you become. I think you've lived like this as your normal for far too long.

You really need to stop this nonsense. If she is texting you, block her! Put an end to it. If she starts calling you, block her number or change your number. What you are doing is foolish and cruel. You have a girlfriend you need to be thinking about, not playing mind games with this ex.

Your ex isn't over you and you don't sound over her, either. You sound single instead of committed to a woman for the last several years. You're goading your ex on and sending messages that you know wouldn't be acceptable to any woman you're in a relationship with--your interest is barely masked by the excuse of "playing games." You're here wondering about your ex while your girl is literally a blip in your post.

 

Sounds to me like you need to be fair to your girlfriend by either dumping her so she can find a man who is more devoted, or put an end to all this ex nonsense and recommit to your current relationship if it's really what you want.

It sounds like you are still in love with her and wishing and hoping she comes back. That's why you're hanging on to this. Your emotional affair never ended. You cheated on her and now you're cheating with her. It seems as though it's You who doesn't know what he wants.

oh, you have a stalker

 

It's called ghostly lover syndrome. She's not in love with her fiancee, but not in love with you either, but does not have a another man on the horizon. She thinks only about the good times but forgets the bad when she contacts you, and does not realize that the love is dead. If you two got together, you would soon realize that the love was not there anymore, it's just a fantasy. You get one chance at love per person.

 

It's a lost cause, all contacting her will do is waste your time at the least, or worst case, you will feel the pain of rejection. If she stirs your emotions at all, or you are tempted, I would shut it down by cutting contact with her.

Ask your gf of 4 years her opinion?

And ask her has her ex said he masturbates over her?

Why do you allow an ex to contact you 5 years later?

And all the time in between?

 

Do your gf a favour and end the relationship. You clearly don’t love her anyway.

Your ex doesn’t care for you , she is just in another soon to be failed relationship.

And messaging you for an upper. I’m sure she is grateful for your attention if that makes you feel better?

Thank you all for you advice. Update: after reading most of your post I took the responsibility to speak with the woman I'm with and I exposed the contacting from my ex. My lady was upset as anyone would be but most of you were right and there were questions believe me I asked myself about myself in this matter. Why did I care so much on why she contact me? I guess apart of me wanted to feel and hear her regretting on letting me go. Maybe I was hoping not to get back but she would say "I'm sorry and wrong about you cheating". Anyway I decided to tell my lady we should take a break because its its obviously some issues I still dealing with. I just wanted to know why after all these years why even reach out especially when ur engaged. But it's unfair to my lady and definitely to her man. So I called my ex and told her to stop contacting me. All she asked was why. I never even answered just hung up.

I guest all I wanted to hear was she messed up by dumping me and regrets it but I'm sure I wont get that but ok,it's ok, it's time to get me right. Thanks everyone.

Thank you for the update. It's rare to see someone who has been thoroughly chastised for their behaviour to have the guts to come back in and admit their mistakes.

 

Work on yourself now and learn from your situation and this thread so that you go forth being a better partner to a woman that is devoted to you. Online fluff isn't anything to lose a good woman over.

This could have easily have been a thread titled "Why is he still communicated with me and telling me he wants to run away with me even though I am engaged"

 

You could very well lose your girlfriend over this, especially asking for a break. To me, that admits guilt. She should have been the one to decide whether she wants to stay, go, etc. You do understand that you are probably broken up now, right?

 

If so, i think that you should stay single and get yourself in order.

not "dating with no commitments" - but working on being a better human.

I think you did the right thing. You can't possibly lose anyone you never had legitimately in the first place, especially if you were running around behind someone's back or speaking to an ex on the side trying to figure out your past or find closure for all or most of the relationship. It was a sham and it's over. You've learned your lesson hopefully. Take that time out to yourself and it's a good idea not to leave anyone hanging or waiting around for you.
