I have been separated from my ex for almost a year now after being together for 13 years. She was contacting me not often over the time we have been apart and recently she admitted she was in a new relationship which hit me hard to be honest.

I told her i did not wish for her to contact me any more and gave her my reasons.

Within a week she had contacted me on Facebook which I never replied to below is the last message she sent on Facebook

"I am going to "block" you on here, so I will no longer have this temptation to check your profile, to know how you are etc..I loved you so much, and you know the story, why I became this horrible woman, I never handled what happened at the beginning of our story, so I was struggling with this crap. There is no excuse anymore, even if I could understand you had changed. But Hey ho, now this is the way it is, and I really do wish the Best, and for you to meet someone nice, and do not forget, you are a really beautiful soul xxxxx"

She did block me but unblocked me within an hour. The next evening she messaged me again on Facebook with some stupid link to a video, I had to ask her why send me this. This then developed into a conversation which then lead to:

"Eve
can I ask you a question ??.... as a man ...

Steve
sure but why do i get the feeling i am not going to like it?

Eve
lol, you are supposed to know me very well, after 13 years, don't you ??

Steve
you would think so

Eve
ok, so, the question would be : what is wrong with Eve ?? even if she is a good girl, what would you change with her, for her to be a perfect woman ?? So if that question is a problem for you, feel free not to answer of course...I just wonder what is a problem with me ?..

Steve
I am going to answer

Eve
well...nobody's perfect, we all know this...but, as a man, what would you answer ?

Steve
Give me a minute or 2

There is no such thing as a perfect woman, No one i hope including me is looking for that woman. All I would say is believe in the man when he says he loves you, sure to god I just wanted you to believe that with me because I was happy with what I had, just be you and happy

I can not believe i am giving you relationship advice?

There was nothing wrong with Eve, just you did not believe enough

in me that is

Eve
who knows ?.. and in the end, I was not really waiting for an advice, I was only asking for that man that knows me so well, what went wrong, and what can I do better, but I understand your last answer...sure, I did not not believe in you, but the problem is not only YOU, it is me, that does not believe in myself..there is a massive job for me to be done, trusting myself, and I can be loved for who I am..I am working on it, this is a very big stuff for me, I did not believe in your love, only because I was/am not believe I can be loved for who I am.

Steve
Your totally wrong i never but loved you for who you are, that is exactly why i was with you for who you are faults and all.

your not the only person working on stuff

Eve
Thank you so much for telling me this, but there is a massive job for me to be done, and I am so sorry that I never got this..my bad, and trust me, I am now working on it, on myself for me to go further

I have understood Steve, that your going through a big job on yourself and I am glad for you to do this job, it was really time for you

Steve
Sometimes all we need is to be hugged, unfortunately my arms are not long enough to reach you.

Eve
😔 don't say this... I am so sorry...

Steve
for what?

Eve

fuck ! for telling me it is far too late, and when we were under the same roof, we could not share it, not communicating this way..but it was difficult, you were not ready for sure, maybe now you would be

Steve
yes i would

Eve
ok...I would love it to be honest...so, maybe we need more time......I do not want to expect something ..unexpectable (is it english ??), but I for a fact, I hope it could be possible....So Bunny, we have to try to act like adults...no one should be hurt in this story.

Without going into what was said after in that conversation the next day she had backtracked and did not want to try something giving excuse after excuse. Of course i never tackled the monkey in the room the new boyfriend, to i was confused was an understatement. Anyway I told her what I said before please do not contact me again EVER. I realized my mistake by answering her on Facebook and then blocked her on Facebook.

2 weeks later I received an email from her, which i have not replied to or do I intend to do so. But I really am at a loss to understand what this email is supposed to tell me and what was it's purpose, to me it seems pointless and i can only think she is trying to punish me or playing some sort of stupid game?. But to what end and will she ever stop contacting me?

I always try to remember the best, in any way, and this song, for example, that I used to like at the beginning of our relationship was one of the best.
Then came this time, when I realized you were cheating on me, and you were sharing those songs with someone else, in your room, so for years I couldn't bear to hear those songs. .which sounds stupid to me now..but hey ho :-)
Now I only remember when I was happy, and that's who I really am today, this positive person I was back then.
I hope and I want you to be happy. Frankly. Be positive and carry on"

Maybe she’s lying about the new boyfriend? Maybe she was hoping you’d be jealous and want to get back with her, hence the contact. Agree you’re better off moving on. Hopefully she will get the message soon that it’s over for good and there’s no going back

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that thereafter stuff in her background that causes her to feel the way she does. If so, that is very sad but she has no right to treat you this way. Its unfair. If not, and it is just something that happened at the start of your relationship, well, it's still unfair.

I have to be careful because I have trauma in my past and I spent a good deal of time single and having therapy so that I didn't end up doing precisely what she is doing. I still struggle at times. And I deal with it by managing my thoughts myself and regulating my emotions. I sometimes need to be away from my boyfriend in order to do this. Him being there, trying to help and telling me he loves me makes it worse. I don't want him to feel responsible for 'fixing' me. I need to do that for myself.

Unfortunately, she hasn't got that same level of insight and rather than leaving well alone, she is processing and managing her emotions by engaging with you. Which is upsetting for you. And that is why she is playing mind games. It's not intentional to hurt you she just doesn't have any other way and doing this meets a need in her.

I agree with blocking her. Nothing you say is ever going to he enough to undo the damage that has been done to her and you have already run yourself ragged trying. It will never be enough because the need she has cannot be met by you or anyone else. Only her.

Thank you, this was a good insight

It's not appropriate for you to be putting a private conversation on here. Apart from that just block her and be done with the whole drama.

And why not?

It's a private conversation that you've put on a public forum.

SteveOO · 06/02/2023 15:44

Update I have today again received mails from her!!!

Objet : What ever you think and want
I will never forget that day, when in my apartment, I remember that I had a monstrous headache, and that I had gone twice to Carrefour for you, so that you had your computer working, your new Apple one, with that one we made that picture..and then after 3 days, you left and cheated on me with your bitch in Hambourg. I hope you remember all details just the way I do. I will never ever forget it. When you told me with a sms : "I have no internet anymore, but I want you to know that I love you"......FUCK YOU

I hate what you have done to me. And if you feel bad..then, feel bad.
The road is long for me too, don't be wrong.

I suppose the real question is why didn't you block her yourself?

chaos76 · 06/02/2023 16:17

did you cheat on her? is that the problem ? you haven't taken any accountability for that.

If you didn't then delete everything she sends you without reading it and block her on everything including emails

ChesterCheetah · 06/02/2023 16:18

Jesus, stop obsessing over each other and move on, life's too short for all this.

ShakespearesBlister · 06/02/2023 16:10

Yes but there is nothing stopping her making a new email account, not like I can make her forget my email address!!

Yes I did but right at the beginning of the relationship which was almost 15 years ago years ago, and yes I did take full accountability for it and never was allowed to forget it so was always sorry for it

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 06/02/2023 16:34

Just block her she's fucking with your head. 8pm is not too early to be drunk lmao my xp could be drunk at any time of day.

Also it's inappropriate to put the full details of a private cconversation on here as too identifying.

Anyway don't waste any more time on her.

Watch some Dr Ramani on YouTube.

Ah ok so she is just going to torment you forever about it so just block her on everything

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 06/02/2023 16:47

Well every time she emails you from a different account just block her again.

Possibly with a message saying you will get her done for harassment if she contacts you again. Do not engage in conversation with her

Tbh I'd seriously consider changing email addresses.

postwarbulge · 06/02/2023 16:52

Life is too short to play mind games. Press the button.

Can anyone understand what it is she wants or what she is up to?
Newwardrobe · 06/02/2023 16:59

She sounds troubled and doesn't know what she wants. Don't torture yourself trying to work her out. Move on.

RelentlessForwardProgress · 06/02/2023 17:07

Honestly if you'd said these were messages from two sixteen year old's I wouldn't have been surprised. Who has time for this nonsense? Just drop the ball and get on with something useful instead.

cooldarkroom · 06/02/2023 17:20

It appears you cheated on her, why she wold want you back & why you would consider going there, are a mystery of the universe.
Block her,
Get on with what you have made of your life

SandyY2K · 06/02/2023 17:45

Just delete any further communication from her and block the new email addresses.
She'll never know if you got them or not.

At her age, she needs to stop this nonsense. It's ridiculous.

She allegedly has a new man and she keeps bothering you. She clearly isn't over your relationship.

Don't rise to the drama any more.
