Ex keeps texting me

31 replies

I get texts monthly from my ex just asking "how are you?". Like, why? It's almost a year since he divorced me and I have not received a single apology for all the bullshit he put me through, which means I am not very excited to talk to him and only give him short replies. We have not agreed to be friends or have contact. He was really cold and mean for the last year of our relationship and it felt like he hated me, so it's hard to even imagine he'd want to be friends now. It's so annoying to get these meaningless texts.

Just block. His issues are not any of your concern. Why would you care or feel obliged given his awful previous behaviour towards you. Just stop being a martyr. I have very much shed my people pleasing habit. Ex who was extremely emotionally abusive tried the emotional blackmail and 'I will kill myself' texts and I just responded that it was his life to do with how he pleased and his choice. I added if he did mean to go through with it, could I have some of his decent records. Never heard anything else...

Don't even think about this block and forget it he wants attention or to bring you down again

Why are you texting an ex at all? Unless you’ve got children, I just see no reason to keep in touch. Even responding to the off text has obvs kept some sort of connection going and now you’re in this situation where it’s taking up headspace. Stop texting back. Don’t explain, don’t ask any questions. Just stop. Block number and delete.

Why are you resurrecting a 6 month old thread & asking questions OP has already answered?

You don't have any children with this man so you have no reason to have anything to do with him. Ignore and block, otherwise this is a problem of your own making.

Just reply "Oh DO fuck off you tedious bore" and block.
