May 2019 i started seeing him.
He has been single only 6 weeks from his ex.
He was with her 2 years and then before that they were together 4 years with a 3 year break.
They had a pretty messed up relationship he said (arguments ,police ,lies etc )
Anyway we got together but he still would talk about her occasionally.
When drunk tell me stories about how she treated him like rubbish then stories about lies she told.
Then he asked did I ever look up ex's?then showed me her Facebook profile
Anyway ..the last two weeks he was distant and I haven't seen him.
He didn't text yesterday at all or reply to mine /answer phone.
So I text today asking what was wrong ..
He replied
"I'm back with (her) please there is no real need for you to have any further contact with me.
I said what ??
He responded "leave me alone now yeah,no good can come from you going off it"
That's it ..
Wtf

I had this and I know (because of the stalking) that she never had any peace and he must have spoken about me because she thought he was still seeing me. A pair of drama llamas.

I get why you are so upset. I was so very upset because things were good up until he left me. They have now broken up.

He will resurface and I hope you've moved on by then

No point in asking “why”. He’d only lie to you if he spoke to you anyway. Stop trying to find logic where there is none! The fact is- he’s gone. Do yourself a favour and let him stay gone.

Your right number point in asking why etc
He has been using me hasn't he.
It's funny I had a gut feeling all the long he would do this,my gut is always right.
The first time they split he told me he dumped a girl to get back with his ex,why did I think I was special.

Don't see it as him using you. Think more of yourself that he did like you, did enjoy time with you but his feelings for her are stronger because of their past.

He ended things in a horrible, callous way and that's all you need to know about his potential as a long term partner. You guys had fun for the time you were together. Now, it's over but it doesn't mean what you had was meaningless. It just wasn't meant to be.

Like you, and how you still want to be with him despite him disrespecting you, despite knowing it's bad. That's the same as why he wants to be with her.

It's hurtful and shit and he's been cowardly with how he ended it. But think, do you really want to be with a man who can't communicate and isn't considerate, and so messed up he keeps going back to a bad relationship. You deserve better, right? And you will find it once you move on from this waste of space man.

@Doodallysally it's just a horrible feeling isn't it to know someone prefers someone else
I wonder what it's gonna take /how many times he's going to go through the same cycle before he realises it's no good.
