A few of you lovely posters helped me a month ago when I was really struggling with the end of my relationship...

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/3228255-Did-I-do-the-right-thing

I was hurting so much at the time but over the past two weeks or so I felt like I had turned a corner and was feeling so much better about things.

But then a couple of days ago, the ex text me again. It started as asking after me and the children. Then turned to him asking me what went wrong. Then he is telling me how badly I treated him again. Why didn’t I try harder to prove to him I was serious about wanting him back? (This is a man who I begged!) Then telling me he has been seeing a lovely new girl who thinks the world of him... but still feels lost and misses me. But that I destroyed him?

I’m so confused 😔 In the end I msgd him saying his texts were incredibly upsetting - to be telling me he had a lovely new girlfriend just weeks after I had been begging him to try again. He apologised for upsetting me but then I lost my temper and told him to save his apologies for the new girl whose back he was going behind msging me. He went mad at me... msgd me telling me I was full of vitriol and bile and that he should have known I wouldn’t have changed and would never msg me again.

Now what?? I feel so distraught yet again- back to square one. Should I have done more? Should I try again now? We both miss each other... but then I keep thinking how I begged him but he just started seeing someone new straight away. Sorry if this jumbled 😔

You absolutely did the right thing and his texts only confirm it.

Do you really want a guy that would go behind his girlfriends back to text the ex? What if you got back together and he kept the new girl on the go? Do you really want a guy that takes no responsibility for his actions, only blames you?

He's managed to make you miserable just by texting you, getting back together is not an option. Don't let him made you feel miserable every day again.

Thank you both. I’ve re-read all the responses on this thread over and over. For weeks I would have given anything for him to text me back, but now I’m just miserable again; that tells me something.
