To feel stupid

3 weeks ago I was dumped. You know how it is. It hurts. I've been up and down and good and bad. We had only been hoing out five months but it did feel like something we wanted.

Friday night after him not being nice to me once his name appeared on my phone. I felt sick and had no idea how I felt. But I replied and we made some small conversation. He said he still thought of me and meant everything he had ever said. He asked if I would meet him one night this week to chat. I said yes.

I messaged him at tea time today to see if I could ring him to say hello. He was up for it and I said ok I'll ring you at 7. At 6.15 he confirmed with me. I took my dog out for a walk so I could call him whilst walking the dog. He didn't answer. After 40 minutes I walked back home. Messaged him. No answer. I fell asleep about 10pm tonight and woke up now. He's read my message now as his name is finally next to it. But he didn't reply.

I'm feeling allover now. He came back Friday out of nowhere and now he's already made me feel horrible.

Should I block him and try keep getting stronger? Or wait to see if I hear again. I feel so torn as I was doing so well and now I feel hes weakened me.

He is prone to falling asleep easily but that doesn't explain not sending me a message since he has woken.

Block him. It's going nowhere and he doesn't deserve to make you feel like this.

I never think blocking is a good idea as at some stage you'll start wondering has he ever called you, saying that, willpower. Sit on your hands and find something that takes your attention, something different or fun or a goal you've always wanted to achieve. And sorry, men can be shitsBrewFlowers

Yes.

You're allowing him to rent space in your head. It was 5 months. Barely any time. Don't make this, or him, something it's not.

Sounds like he wants to keep you as a reserve just in case. The relationship ended. It won't resurrect properly. Block and move on. I'm saying this as someone who has done the opposite before. Nothing good ever comes of it.

Yes block.
Don't give him a second more of your time.

Personally I would send him a text saying he is a nasty piece of shot who has now shown his true colours,then block

Just block. Move on.
