My ex is messing me about massively, he knows I still have feelings for him and he will message me all nice and talking sexual to me and being a little controlling in terms of wanting to know if I have been with men since him, then he will go cold on me and tell me we can't ever be together and say a bunch of stuff then he will come back and start it all over again with the messages and if I ignore him he says why haven't you replied to me? He's very manipulative also, he asks me if I have slept with other Men and if so is he my favourite and all kinds of stuff, he always wants my validation about stuff in the sexual department, I feel like maybe this is a ego thing as a man he wants my validation to feel good about himself I'm not sure but this really gets to me.
