No contact for 5 months then....what does this text message mean?

[Welshcakes0]

I was with him for 8 months. It ended as I found him chatting on his WhatsApp to another woman. His response was 'he gets lonely and things haven't been great with us'. Anyway as from that day onwards I cut all contact, it was over. I have to admit I found it so so difficult to get over and right up until today have thought about him every day, but its getting less. Time is a healer! Part of me wanted him to text or acknowledge he had done something that had hurt me and apologise but he never did. I accepted that and slowly but surely moved on. This morning I get a message saying ' Facebook took me through some memories and there are some lovely pics of us on there, anyway hope you are ok and Happy Christmas '
It's completely knocked me and I feel like it's all come back, the feelings of missing him, the hurt, everything :(

I had exactly this happen to me. He then upped the texting until he called me one evening. I had been totally over the asshat. Then he tells me that he'd like to date again, just on a purely no strings sex basis 'as the sex was amazing' (It wasn't, I faked it). He rightly fucked with my head, still not fucking over the prat now. We had split in April, this was about August he got back in touch, and here we are in December with my head wrecked because I engaged, hoping that he wanted to rekindle the relationship. Dick

Sooveritg I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's horrible isnt it. I feel like it wasn't good enough to make me feel worthless the first time, he needs to do it again. I wish he hadn't messaged me. I'm so angry he did this.

He should have been blocked when you originally split up. Men like him just want the ego boost of will she reply. He is dangling a carrot - he has no intention of replying

Same happened to me and he sent me a happy birthday message and made me cry. It stirred up feelings. Then the though a of possible future came back. We had an almost date and then excuses came. I would have met him out of curiosity to see how I felt. But we were only dating a few months. I don't know what it was about, but a few weeks later I don't care again. You'll get over this blip pretty quickly I think

He was horrible to you when he went out with you and he’s being horrible to you again, now.

Stop letting him do this to you! Block him and never respond to him again.

I don't have his number stored in my phone. I delete his messages. I can't block unless he texts again. I am so mad, I wish he would text me so I can block. I can't believe how mean people can be. I wish I'd blocked now. Now I feel I am waiting just to block.

Ye, it's shit. If I could go back to August, I wouldn't have responded at all. But hindsight is 20:20 vision as they say.

If you don't believe me, just wait for the proposition of 'I don't want anything serious, but we were so good together'. It will come.

He wants a shag. Everyone is telling you this and you are still choosing to hang on to the crumbs from this loser who was cheating on you. Block and move on. You’re worth more than this.
