Sorry,this will be a bit long.
I posted on here a few weeks ago about how I'd been suddenly (although not totally unexpectedly) dumped by DP of nearly 4 and a half years. His reason was that he wanted me to convert to his religion,otherwise he couldn't continue being in a relationship with me. I do not follow any religion,so to convert to any religion would go against everything that I believe in,so I refused. The overwhelming consensus of opinion from MNers was that I'd done the right thing,that 'converting for love' or making a pretence at converting never ended well. And I might also add that the way he went about finishing the relationship was rather unpleasant. He phoned me,couldn't even speak to me face to face,and said that 'if he stayed with me,he would burn in eternal hellfire'.
So,3 weeks on. I had text him last weekend asking him when he was going to collect his clothes and stuff from my flat. He responded that it would be some time over the next couple of weeks,that he'd let me know. Anyway,a few days after this exchange,I'm waiting at the bus stop in town and I see him approaching the bus stop. He stops,puts his hand on my arm and says 'I still love you. Can I come back with you tonight?'. I'm 
at this and said NO. My bus arrives and he makes to walk off then suddenly dashes back and gets on it! Sits down beside me,tries to hold my hand. I'm not having any of it. After 3 or 4 stops he gets the message and gets off,saying as he departs,'Everything's going to be alright'.
Fast forward to this weekend. Not heard anything from him all week,then yesterday evening he texts and asks if he can come round because 'he needs me' -needs sex more like. I refused,saying had he forgotten that he'd dumped me 3 weeks ago? He texts back 'Tomorrow night then?' I ignored it and went to bed. Then this evening he starts again. I'm afraid I was rather blunt and maybe a little rude this time. I said that he needn't think he could dump me then use me for sex when he wanted. HE had made the choice to finish it,so now live with his choice. To which he replies 'I was only joking'. I am beside myself with fury. He was only joking? Is he insane? Is it normal to joke about something like this? I tore him off a strip,told him that dumping someone then saying they were joking was sick. He then turned nasty,calling me various names,said he needed his clothes from my place,and that he wasn't going to discuss it any more!
Am I right in thinking it's a case of injured pride here? That he was put out that I didn't beg or plead with him to reconsider,that I was very cool towards him? I don't think he WAS joking tbh,I think he was trying to save face and back-pedal. Am I right in thinking this?
Thanks for reading this far!
