I seperated from ex DP at the end of Feb after numerous problems.
I was really strong about it and ex DP was desperate for me back. I stayed strong and didnt take him back. I went on 2 dates with a new guy we ot on really well but he was too full on and was wanting things to happen really quick. I cooled it with him, he took the hump and no longer speaks to me. In the meantime ex DP came begging and pleading for me to have him back. I told him he would have to speak to my parents as they are important to me and totally opposed to me getting back with him.
He said he would. This was last sunday.

Last Thursday I told him I had been on a date with someone twice, we kissed but that was all, he asked where we'd met etc and that was that. Since then he has completely cooled off and is ignoring my phonecalls and messages.

He hasnt seen DD for over a week and its maddening me.
What would you do? Ive asked him why hes ignoring me but he hasnt replied.

He went out with another woman last sept when we seperated he only told me this this month so he lied to me about it for 6 months!
My head is telling me to forget him and move on but I am mad that he isnt wanting to see DD. He works shifts so its not easy to arrange set days for him to have access and he gets called in at the last minute.
TIA

From what you've said I'm guessing he thought you were doing it to make him chase after you and he thought you didn't really mean it. Probably thought himself irresistable. Now you've been out on a date with someone else he is begining to understand you really meant it.
I imagine he's sulking more than anything else. How old is your DD? Is she upset at not seeing him.

Perhaps you should just contact him to say you're trying to arrange for him to see DD and that is all. Say nothing about other people etc. You can only try your hardest and perhaps if you DD is old enough get her to call and leave a message for him or send him a card that she's made or similar.

Being Strong is difficult but I think you'll make it as long as you're trying for DD's sake. I wouldnt' doubt yourself over what you thought about breaking up. Stick to your guns.
Good Luck with it all
