He's texted me

Posted recently under thread "awkward situation". Ex and I split in Feb and had about 2 months of no contact. He then texted wishing luck for my ds school place, and then he text again when he saw me (didn't see him) walk past. Well I've been a little confused... He has a new gf (the one who works as a nursery assistant at my ds nursery). He has just text me saying "Have you blocked me on Facebook?". I blocked him when we split in Feb and I am 99.9999% certain he will have realised a long long the ago. Why is he sending this now?! Do I reply?!

Is this the knobhead from the university?

Just say "Of course."

Xales · 09/05/2012 21:52

What do you want from this? What would be your preferred outcome if you text back?

Personally I would consign it to my delete button and not engage.

It is yes, why is he texting me?! I just want him to go away!! I just said "yes I did!" what does he expect ffs. After 2 months of nothing i really put it all behind me but this is dragging it all up again.

He is expecting contact and you replying gives him what he wants. If you want him to go away then you need to go no contact, absolutely no contact. When you reply to texts you are giving him an invitation to respond. Cut the contact and he has nothing to respond to! Smile

The twat has probably been dumped and is looking for an ego boost. Ignore the shit.

akaemmafrost · 09/05/2012 22:01

No more replies. What a tool!

AnyFucker · 09/05/2012 22:04

ignore

his gf will have twigged what a pillock he is

Dee03 · 09/05/2012 23:14

Sounds like he's either been dumped or realised the new gf maybe isnt doing 'it' for him.

Ignore!!

"Why is he sending this now?!"

Vanity. Some like to keep tabs on old loves. Kidding themselves they could click their fingers and have you come running back.

Anniegetyourgun · 10/05/2012 09:42

Or maybe he's the sort of person for whom one gf is never enough.

CogitoErgoSometimes · 10/05/2012 09:56

Of thinks that he's such a great person that all his exes are still 'good mates'....

PooPooInMyToes · 10/05/2012 10:06

Did you complain to the nursery in the end?

I say ignore him.

badtasteflump · 10/05/2012 10:12

I agree it's vanity. Delete it and don't give him the thrill of getting any attention from you.

dondon33 · 10/05/2012 14:57

I don't know the reason for your split (maybe an earlier thread) but If he done you wrong and hurt you then ignore...he doesn't deserve your answer nor your time.

GoPoldark · 10/05/2012 15:05

Oh he's been dumped then has he.

Or is getting a bit booored with Miss Nursery Worker.

Completely ignore him. You know, like you would someone else's whining toddler at the other end of a sweaty cafe.

Dottiespots · 10/05/2012 15:11

Sounds like he got what he wanted but not sure he wants it anymore. And hes not sure that he should have let you go. Men!!!

MissFaversham · 10/05/2012 15:17

The worm is testing the soil again.

This time BLOCK IGNORE DELETE.

HotDAMNlifeisgood · 10/05/2012 15:27

Why do you care why he is doing this? (serious question). That's his own concern. And what he thinks, says or does should no longer be any concern of yours.

Ignore his texts. And work on deleting him from your mind. He's not a puzzle for you to solve: right now, he's an annoyance to be got rid of. So get rid of him: don't engage.

oikopolis · 10/05/2012 16:29

what HotDAMN said, why on earth do you care what he is thinking?

just ignore him, he's an obvious knob

Bluesue26 · 10/05/2012 17:17

Agree with the poster that said he's testing the water. Some people do this, they can't believe after they dump you that you aren't begging them to come back and building shrines to them you know because they're such a great catch Hmm
Avoid avoid avoid. No good will come of this I tell ye.

Thank you everyone, I had already replied saying "Yes I did" He responded there was something he wanted to share with me on Facebook, and I ignored.... I can't deny I'm curious what. But whatever, I'm not going to reply to him. I had deleted his number (each time he's texted I've deleted it again) and will not respond to any more texts. Stupid man. Sure his girlfriend looked at me funny today when I got ds.... hmmm

disengage yourself from their drama

next time he texts you ignore it

PooPooInMyToes · 10/05/2012 19:48

Did you complain to the nursery manager?

GeorgesMum2008 · 10/05/2012 20:45

No it's hard because the nursery is basically 1 large room, so his girlfriend is there it's hard to speak without her being around :S
