To be frustrated at how my ex is behaving

[Jellyeggz]

I am recently single and moved out from my ex’s house. I have since moved home but he has needed to be in contact every couple of days to update me on the shipment of some of my stuff.

He broke up with me and was the one to say he still wanted me in his life and blah blah blah but now all of a sudden he is being so abrupt (verging on rude) in his text messages. I am not chasing him or anything - there is no rush with my stuff and I was also not the one to end it so why the sudden 180 from someone who had seemingly wanted to remain friends?

I was doing ok but this has really gotten to me now and pushed me 10 steps back :(

Provided you have no ties (such as children, marriage, joint finances) I would seriously just block his number. If there’s anything he currently has of yours that holds great sentimental value and is irreplaceable then by all means, get that back but clothes? Let him have them. Just block his number, it’s so so much easier to deal with and move on.

I had this with an ex.
Wanted to be friends, but blocked my number and on social media, would only communicate on his terms (instant message when msn was still a thing and email). It was just another way he could control me and gaslight me. As soon as I realised what he was doing I decided to cut him off from my connections and it was the best decision. He tried reaching out through email but it wasn’t worth being made to feel insignificant. Move on OP
