I'm so sad, just need someone to talk to

[Gracey1231]

Hii
It's been 6 months since my ex and I broke up, and after Xmas he sent me messages saying he thinks about me almost every day, he loves me, his heart aches for me, but we can't talk anymore because of his religion and mine. And he blocked me on Whatsapp.

Ever since then I can't get him off my mind, I think about him so much and I was getting hold of moving on, I've tried everything to move on. He was the love of my life and I was his, I can't forget him.

I want him back desperately, I don't know what to do and I'm so upset.

He is not your problem. Him texting is him trying to make it your problem.

I would send a message back telling him to stop texting you have moved on. Then block him.

He cannot offer anything but a lifetime of angst which very quickly gets very boring.

Look on it as a lucky escape.

When you meet Mr Right you will realise life is not that complicated or angst ridden

Also did he text that he was self harming.

If he did then either way I would be running like the wind in the opposite direction

He is either lying to you or he needs to sort himself out before starting any relationship.
You cannot be responsible for someone else's actions. Imagine being in a relationship with someone who self harms if you do not do what they say. The control would be unbearable

He is controlling you and you are giving him head space.

RUN

Texting you telling you he is self harming sounds like a massive manipulation technique, you're well rid.

I think you need to think whether when he sent the messages he thought they would help you or help himself?
Looks to me like if he loved you that much, but couldnt be with you, then he'd be trying to make you moving on as easy as possible. Instead, he blocked you, then messaged you to say hes self-harming, blocked you sent you messages when he was sad to tell you how much he missed you, and then blocked you again.
Hes not interested in helping you work through anything (which would need you to be able to respond), hes just messaging you when he wants to. The best thing to do is to block him so he cant use you as a crutch to make himself feel better any more at a cost of you feeling worse.
