Hi guys,
I am new around so let me tell you a bit about my story first.
I have been with my boyfriend for about two years. 1 year close distance, when I lived in NY (I am French ) and 1 year long distance. I always wanted to live in NY but immigration is tough. My ex and I were almost engaged but in early December he freaked out and broke up with me. He is a commitment phobe of some sort for those of you who are familiar.
Anyway. So he broke up with me Dec 2. We decided we wanted to keep each others in each others lives. Also decided that communication was going to be tough at first. I started NC after a couple of emails for closure.
He emailed me for my birthday. The email was nice but sort of removed. Stupidely enough I got it late, so the day after my birthday, which was - too bad - our "non" 2nd anniversary. Anyway, replied after two days with a 2 lines thank you email.
Valentine's-day actually had a special flavour as it marked the end of my 8th week of NC. Supposedly, 6-8 weeks NC is what it takes for the dumper to "explore their loneliness"... understand to get the pictur of what life without the dumpee looks like.
So, after a nice day out with my girlfriends, I spent the evening at home. I logged on MSN to say hi to some friends and then set myself as “offline” as I was catching up with my emails. Then the strangest thing happened - mind you, “strangest” for me! Ex logged on. He hardly ever uses MSN - he mainly used it to communicate with me - he never uses it from work and he stayed online for about 30 seconds. My immediate thought was “he is checking on me to make sure I am home on V-day’s night and not out for a date”. But I chased away this idea as I had no way to know what he was thinking and that even if it was the case, it was still completely useless.
The next morning I had a Friendster Update for Ex’s profile - I freaking hate Friendster. He had added several pictures of him I took in several occasions. MY PICTURES!! I was puzzled… then pissed… then nothing! I was not going to claim the copyrights!!
Later on this day, I met up with the girlfriend who introduced Ex and I. I was surprised to know that she did not get the update as she is on his contact list as well. Ex actually chose to send it to me.
Bottom line, looks like Ex had a pity-party watching our pictures for V-day and decided to sort-of let me know.
He was online on MSN last night again... I was logged but set as offline. I sort of knew this was going to happen. When I saw him, I started to shake like crazy. I stayed offline. I am SO NOT ready to communicate with him.
Plus, I don't like the way he seems to be "fishing" for my attention. Don't like baits! NO LIKEY! But is he reaching out sort of? It just pisses me that he does not DO anything. Action speaks louder than words. There is not even words.
Input appreciated anyone. I'll probably stick to NC as 1. the distance makes everything more difficult 2. he will have to prove himself and come strong to get me back if he wants to 3. I am not ready to talk to him...
His birthday is in a bit less than a month. I think I'll just send him a short, sweet message. Plus, one of his friend is visiting Paris over this date...
Gosh, all of this is kind of weird turning!
What do you guys think?
