My ex reached out to me after no contact

[Andrina]

All of these people you perceive as ganging up on you have taken time out of their busy days to provide the knowledge they've accumulated through their own experience, or having seen their loved ones go through, etc. We are all seeing the situation a lot more objectively, because we are not emotionally connected to your ex. You are seeing your ex through rose-colored glasses because he's cute, you cared about him, and he wanted to end it, not you.

 

You are rejecting some of the very sound opinions here because your agenda is to get back together with him, and blocking him will prevent this from happening, in your eyes.

 

Past behavior predicts future behavior. He dumped you so easily once, and he would do it again if you got back together. Everyone experiences stress in life, but people in love usually rely on their partner for support during these difficult times. They don't break it off with a partner.

 

You will learn though, the hard way since you reject what the majority is saying here. It will just take you longer to get there, your way. And years down the road you just might be back here, virtually trying to shake sense into another young girl experiencing what you've been through, asking, "What the hell are you doing? You're worth so much more than a guy treating you like a yo-yo, and secretly wanting to pester him into giving you more of his wishy-washy attention and false hope."

People who come up with excuses not to block actually don't want to because they're hoping their ex will contact them asking to get back together. That's the only reason other than a legitimate need to have communication regarding shared children.

 

It makes you angry because you don't want to give up that hope. It's not that unusual. But it does limit your ability to move forward.

 

If he's only contacting you when he's drinking or feeling lonely, it's not a genuine attempt to reconnect. He's just trying to make himself feel better.
