Anyone disappointed that they havent heard from a ex yet for the holidays?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if theres anyone out there thats going through a break up and thought by now (xmas eve) that they would have heard from there ex?

 

I thought for some strange reason that xmas would make him miss me and want to spend it with me. I really truly thought i would be with him right now, but i havent heard from....

I think a decent dumpee would not contact you, because what is them contacting you going to do? Give you false hope they do miss you, are thinking of you, want to get back... if they don't contact you consider it being thoughtful that they are giving you an extra nudge to move on. If they do contact you it might be out of feeling guilty, and who wants pity? My ex made contact on my b-day a few months back, sent an e-card, and it was just starting back at square one healing finding out he was just trying to be friends(ly) and not really because he missed me, he was already with someone else.

My ex put up a facebook message that said "Merry Christmas, everybody!"

 

"Everybody" includes me, right? Right?

 

hahaaa..yeah...you too.

 

Hell no. He knows better. He did well by disappearing like mist!

 

Try to focus your thoughts to better things...like your future with a new, wonderful partner.

hello everyone

well get this... i was dumped a month ago (from a new 3 month relationship after being dumped from a long term one in July) and in self imposed NC and so far doing fine and today on Christmas day she leaves some xmas presents on my doorstep.

 

i have neither said thank you yet nor opened them as well to be honest this 'act of giving' from her has quite frankly annoyed the F out of me and ruined any good feelings I had for this holidays.

 

i just want to be left alone FFS...so annoyed...

Since I was the one to end things over a month ago, I am sure he won't be contacting me to say Merry Christmas...and for sure since he stole back all the most recent gifts he gave me over the past year...I seriously doubt he will come give them back or buy me anything. Heck everything he ever gave me had some crack, chip, or defect on it.....even on new things he gave me I found some type of nick or scratch...hahaha...good thing he never had kids.

 

I think he was born defective....anyway...no calls, letters or any other correspondence and that is okay with me...I just want to be left alone to prepare myself for the upcoming year and all the plans I made for myself...and far as dating again...that will be on the list too !

my ex and I broke-up 8 months ago, we spoke yesterday for about an hour, nothing special just like friends. Even though they dont want to spend their life w you doesnt mean they dont miss the time you had w them, it is normal during the holiday season to feel a bit sad, especially if its the first one.. Im pretty sure that if they havent called is because they arent completely over it! I dont have a problem contacting my ex cuz I no longer have the need to be w him and i have no agendas..

anyone not hear from someone that they are supposed to be reconciling with/who has expressed desire and intent to reconcile with you?

 

"losers" line forms after me, apparently.

 

LOL....not funny, I know...just the way you said 'loser line' and I posted next.

Repeat after me...I AM NOT A LOSER! haha

 

anyway, yes, I heard from a friend. That was good enough.

aww, i didn't mean you are a loser... i think you got what i meant....

 

hearing from good friends is better than hearing from exes, i think. hooray for good friends!!

Funny I ran into this thread. I just posted the following on "Relationship with X" under Divorce.

 

I was just dozing on the couch when my cell rings and I just pick it up and say hello w/o looking to see who it was. It was my X. Have not spoken to her in over a month, when I answered that by mistake, and at least a month before that, as I do not answer her calls.

 

She started a conversation about the kids as if we were in a talking mode. Like we were still together and everything was fine between us. She calmly explained how the kids were supposed to go over there today (N0, there was never planned by them and her) and she waited all day for them to come. Done in a way that denotes that she thinks that the kids and me never talk and she can say anything untrue and get away with it. There's a history of that. The last two X-mas they went over for a couple of hours several days later.

 

She continued as if the way they do not interact with her is something new and out of the blue. "What was wrong with the kids today? They acted like they were just ignoring me". She went on and on about it. They have limited their contact with her for almost three years. But now, this was something new???

 

I did not even respond to any of it and just let her talk. Even remained silent when she paused. She was venting irrationally to me like we were still a couple. To someone that does not even want to talk with her and she has been told so on too many occasions.

 

I did not say 5 words. She ended it with this, "Well, I'm pretty tired so I am going to bed. Good night and Merry Christmas".

 

It is too difficult to fathom. Irrationality cannot be understood.

Eek! Well ya know...he probably did you a favor you're unaware of right now. I wish I wouldn't have tried the three times I did. that can turn a person way too jaded.

 

do you still feel like he gets a ton of your emotional energy? it isn't rational, but i let my ex get a ton of it. it's exhausting. it makes me feel like nothing. i know i shouldn't give it to him, but.... i do.

Not anymore...really. He gets a passing thought every now and then..but more when I'm on here then in my life. This place keeps me thinking about him more then I would like.

But in reality, he doesn't rent up any space in my head anymore. I cried myself off of him.
