Been seeing someone for about 6 months. Quite serious, not seeing anyone else, either of us apparently.

This past week, he has stopped ringing and texting, only send a text occasionally, he works away so this is our main form of communication. He is not answering his phone.

I get the distinct impression I am being phased out! So would you make him tell you and "have the awkward conversation" or just fade away and let him take his cowardly way out?

I am inclined to make him tell me. I think after 6 months I should get an explanation, by friend says keep my dignity. But im not sure what is dignified about being dropped without any kind of explanation. Any opinions please.

He has also used the word "there" when it should be "they're". God I'd love to send just that as a message:-

"they're NOT there" Smile

See? he is a twat and illiterate.

I've had Wine so the latter may be incorrect but he is definatly a twat.

I think I would have to text back 'hate you? To hate you I'd have to give a fuck' accompanied by smiley face....

Grin I have been thinking about this and I really want to text as follows

"why would I hate you? It is what it is. Rather spineless to do it by text though don't you think? I'm quite surprised by that, anyway, take care".

Or something like that. Plainly he doesn't care about me or he wouldn't have dumped me but I know him and he will fret over being called spineless or cowardly. I feel like if I don't reply at all, he will think I'm all hurt about it and that he got off lightly. I'd like him to take away a little something from this the way I am having too.

Noooooo, do NOT text him. Let him stew. He has shown himself to be callous and cowardly. Please don't give him any more of your attention.

Ok, good job I checked back here Grin I was just actually composing the message to send it.

If you keep his number on your phone, re-name him. My ex was "Weasel" for a while and now he's "Gaston" (from Beauty and the Beast). I should just change it to "Liar" really...

He has been cruel and thoughtless to you. His behaviour was cowardly and self serving. Thank goodness he showed his true colours before you were more involved. Sad

PooPooInMyToes · 02/05/2012 08:10

Aah poor you. Sad

I also renamed my ex in my phone book
His work number was under SFB aka shit for brains
His home number was under WSD aka walking sperm donor

springblumen · 02/05/2012 08:25

Well I know the number off by heart. Really wish I didn't, so deletion is pointless.

I know you really, really, really shouldn't text him, but if I were you I would be sorely tempted by madasa's suggestion Grin!

TheLastNameLeft · 02/05/2012 18:38

Noooo dont text!

But I totally understand the urge to, please take it from someone who completely embarassed themselves on more than one occasion in the past! keep your dignity intact and move on, in the future (if you ever think back) you will be so so happy you did this

janelikesjam · 02/05/2012 20:50

No, don't text!

I really wanted to say something like "actually I'm quite relieved you've ended it, it was getting exhausting having to keep pretending we were any good together in the sack , see ya!"

Thats much better (just kidding!!!).

My last one ended by email - I responded when I shouldna bothered to be honest.
