Ex phoned me

22 replies

My ex who I went out with 3 years ago phoned me early hours of last night.
I’m not sure if I just leave it. I want to leave it I think but I am sooooo curious as to why he’s called. I’m in a relationship now. I don’t want ex back. Is it better to just leave it now?
I don’t want him back. He hasn’t contacted me since and I’m assuming it was a silly drunk call or something.

If he called you for something worth being bothered about he will call you back.

dancingqueenn · 24/05/2019 23:27

Thanks @OhioOhioOhio that sounds like the voice of reason I’m currently lacking entirely!

Leave it. Not worth it. I know it's tempting but the past is the past. Don't go picking at it ad it might jeapordise your present situation which is more important.

dancingqueenn · 24/05/2019 23:27

Thanks ahhhh I think I’m so wanting to bite the bait but fuck it I’ve held out for the whole day so I can go the weekend, then the month, then the rest of the century...

Don’t call him! If he needs you he’ll reach out again Flowers

OhioOhioOhio · 24/05/2019 23:28

Yes and if it is something amazing like he has always lived you and has just won the lottery and would like you to buy a Caribbean Island with him..... he will call you back.

OhioOhioOhio · 24/05/2019 23:29

And if he was being a dick and fekng with your head. He won't.

dancingqueenn · 24/05/2019 23:32

It’s so him being a dick but I am dying inside with nosiness.

Don’t rise to the bait.

If it’s important, he’ll call again.

littleyellowpencil · 24/05/2019 23:39

This happened to me,
I got all worked up wondering what he wanted, I ended up sending a text saying "hello stranger!!!! How are you? Sorry I missed your call, what's up" etc

Turns out it was a butt dial.

I wish I'd never text!!!!

dancingqueenn · 24/05/2019 23:42

@littleyellowpencil ok I feel a bit better thinking it’s unlikely it’s an accident as he called three separate occasions through the night.
However it could have been to rant at me about something and I’m sitting pretty thinking that he just wanted to have a go or something so I don’t rise to this. Ahhhhh I have the worst personality for this.

I wouldn’t risk it. The chances of it not going well are really very high.

Most likely he was drunk, so he either doesn’t remember, or is awkward & embarrassed (could even deny it happened?). He could even just not pick up or respond.

All these things leave you in a horrid position. Put it out of your mind, distract yourself until it doesn’t bother you any more.

You’ll wish you hadn’t responded.

75Renarde · 25/05/2019 00:23

Ignore and move on OP x

ChristmasFluff · 25/05/2019 11:37

There's a meme for this:

'When the past calls, don't answer. It has nothing new to say.'

Literally true in this case.

Myyearmytime · 25/05/2019 11:41

Block the number and move on

dancingqueenn · 25/05/2019 19:51

@ChristmasFluff so true. So angry at myself for thinking of him (not in a good way but still I thought I had gotten to the point of not caring whatsoever). Trying to avoid it all and carry on this weekend as planned!

Leftielefterson · 25/05/2019 19:53

Do you still have feelings for him OP? If so, do not call back or answer. I wish I’d listened to my friends.

Aussiebean · 25/05/2019 19:56

Probably drunk and looking for a booty call.

DistanceCall · 25/05/2019 19:57

Booty call. Or a drunken rant. Ignore.

AfterSchoolWorry · 25/05/2019 19:59

He called because he was pissed out of his mind or coked up!

Ignore and block! 🚫

EKGEMS · 25/05/2019 20:03

Probably needed bail $

dancingqueenn · 25/05/2019 20:04

@Leftielefterson well I didn’t think I did but now I’m thinking if he’s ok because although he’s a twit I didn’t think he’d really bother contacting me again.

But then sense comes over me and says the following: he called because

1.booty call

  1. Pissed out his head and doesn’t even realise
  2. Worse probably wanted me to drive him somewhere as I was officially his taxi service previously

And that’s where I’m staying right now. Trying to think there’s a reason we split and it’s been better ever since
