What do you think of this?

[Pinkballoon]

OK. I posted another thread about my cheating ex (as in cheating with anyone that moves off dating sites) and the odd text I received on DD's (very significant birthday) from another woman (supposedly.)

I've been pootling (correct spelling?) along quite nicely on my own for the past few months, quite a few ups and downs, but nevertheless getting there. Gone back to work, trying to make plans for the future etc. Had to see him in court a couple of months ago, when he got quite tearful the first time he saw me, and then sent me an email afterwards saying that he was heartbroken that I had left the court so quickly afterwards???? A few legal-type letters back and forth, where he has taken a very high handed tone with me. A text spat where I essentially told him that he'd made his bed (in terms of the infidelities), so to go and lie in it. But anyway……

I decided to go no contact, as his texting and emailing was very inconsistent, one minute emotional, next minute angry, then repetitive texting (literally sending me the same question or greeting at the same times of day every day…) then long silences (probably a woman), then cold, and it all just felt pointless and I was becoming emotionally drained. Nothing could be resolved either way.

So yesterday morning, I awoke to find that he'd emailed me the following at 6.30am:

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

Any thoughts on this latest email?

Sounds like one of those things people 'share' on Facebook - I suspect he copied it from somewhere.

Show it to your mates and have good laugh at the giant twat.

Seriously, who the fuck sends that? Patronizing fuck.

Head fucker - keep NC

Oh and Bill is right, its a copy/paste job.

1. He is either

a) Trying to create a feeling of closure by wishing you well. b) Pretending that he wishes you well and that he is now closing the door on the relationship in order to get you to chase after him.

1. You can either

a) Respond wishing him well in return and not entertaining any further responses. b) Ignore him.

My answers are 1(b) and (b), tbh.

He sounds like a twat who's bought himself a job lot of fortune cookies.

Oh yes, its definitely a Facebook bobbie. And yes, it did come across as quite patronising. But not sure what the point was? Yes, NC is being kept up!

Send back:

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch and may your arms be too short to scratch.

bobbie = jobbie BTW!

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch and may your arms be too short to scratch.

Consider that, stolen!!!

an oldie but a goodie!

Love that! :)

Its just that it was me who ended it some time ago, so why does he suddenly feels the urge to send this after 5 or so months? Don't know whether the NC is just freaking him out, as he knows that I usually reply promptly and methodically to everything.

Hopefully a goodbye but by previous behaviour, I doubt it.

That's exactly what it is then, I reckon.

He's so egotistical he was probably waiting for you to contact him and when you didn't he thought he'd push it a bit with a vomit-inducing Facefuck post.

Tacky in the extreme.

Don't reply.

I would send the camel thing but don't

Just in case you thought the twat had written it himself, he didn't. It's by Ralph Waldo Emerson: www.goodreads.com/quotes/584955-this-is-my-wish-for-you-comfort-on-difficult-days

Best ignored.

But sending it at 6.30am??? I can understand late evening when he's had a bit to drink. But would that be the first thing you think of to do when you get up in the morning - send a dodgy Facebook thingy to your ex? Just odd.

Just delete and move on. You dont need to engage with him, maybe block his email address.

aha! Pinkballoon - yeah, answered your own question there!
Well done you! Liking it ...

omg where did all these responses come from? lol .. well, you know what i mean ... oops

OP detach and stop wondering why he sent a really stupid round robin thing at whatever hour he sent it. The man is obviously even inadequate in his grovelling techniques (thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread and you will swoon). Just delete, block and ignore the fool. I do love the Waltermitty comment. I personally wouldn't send it though as silence is best.

Thanks. Yes, have continued NC, but its just the random nature of this that made me question.

Hes just ranking it up, Ignore!

Tell yourself hes sending you really dickheadish stuff because he's feeling sorry for himself and wants attention like a small child does.... bit of a wanker huh.... Ignore him.

He's getting desperate cause you are doing so very well OP. Don't let him mess with your head now.

I'd send Walters camels fleas though then block him!

Yes, the camel fleas one is just too tempting. But must remain NC. That message yesterday managed to make me jumpy and tearful for the rest of the day for some reason, don't know why. Even though I can see its a piece of Facebook rubbish. All the more reason to continue with NC.
