Boomerang Ex

[ValerieCupcake]

Last year through lockdown I began chatting on line with one of my exes. I went out with him briefly when we were 19 and he ghosted me after I slept with him for the first and only time. It broke my heart. I thought this time it was a chance to put things right. We never met up though because he stood me up when we were meant to meet. He then ghosted me again. I was thinking fool me once, fool me twice. Now he has started sending me pictures of cats. A whole year later.

I haven't responded.

But why?

Because he is an attention seeking prick

Block block block

I think he was always like this but I didn't realise.

I told a friend about this last night. I have not replied to the ex and won't do so. She said if it was her she would have got back to him straight away to see what it was he wanted. Er no. Don't think so.

No, you should block him
Life is too short for these games

He's bored and horny. That's all. That's no reflection of you whatsoever - but he's a big old bullet dodged.

He's just checking in that you'll still come running when he calls for an ego boost.
Honestly the worst type of man, you ate so well rid.

Don't feel bad about being taken in twice. It says more about your values that you didn't consider he may simply looking for an ego massage as you would never behave like that.

Dismiss it for the fishing for ego kibbles it is, and ignore!

He’s an idiot!

Definitely ignore. You know what he's like. You know if you responded he would either a) ignore you, leaving you feeling worse or b) get in to some sort of conversation which may or may not lead to meeting up, and then ignore you, leaving you feeling worse.
