what would you think (if anything). ex reconnecting

Name changed as i'm pretty sure of the responses but just wanted to have some confirmation.

my ex recently got back in touch via social media. i've hidden my fb page but for professional reasons can't do the same with twitter. so he found me and started following tweeting etc. nothing major but i was slightly surprised as we haven't spoken in over a year and we had a very acrimonious split back then (he broke up with me, and heartbroken doesn't begin to describe the emotions i felt). after that i just drew a line under and got on with my life. after a few false starts of course.

i loved him more than i should have and in hindsight should have LTB way before we broke up. although i don't want him back, i do sometimes have these 'what if' moments. i've done my best to focus on my life and get him out of my head but i wonder why he would start attempting to reconnect. is it that its all water under the bridge and i should offer a friendly hello. or as i suspect just continue as i haven't noticed keep moving the f* on!

Keep hold of that thought. If there were things going so wrong that you realise you should have left him then you should now leave him where he belongs, in the past.

You can block him from your twitter account.
Or just ignore him.

Just block him.

Keep on ignoring him - he'll either make his intentions clear or give up and fuck off again.

If it was an acrimonious break up and he broke your heart, why on earth would you even countenance giving him the time of day? If you're finding it too hard to ignore him, then block him.

Contact with him will probably set you back and you've made huge progress moving on with your life. I would ignore until you are completely 100% over him and not having any 'what if?' thoughts.

Agree with Thumbwitch.

Agree with Thumbwitch also.

Social media/twitter/texting is very easy and doesn't take much effort therefore I wouldn't read much into any attempts at contact via these methods.

He's putting out the feelers for a shag, his last reletionship broke down adn he wants an ego boost or something else along these lines.

I've found that these are the most common reasons for an ex getting back in touch.

He had his chance, he blew it and you've moved on. DO NOT GO BACK.
