My ex & I split up a couple of months ago, spoke to him last night & he asked if I missed him I said yes of course I do very much (me being honest) I said do you miss me then, replied dont want to talk about it as to deep!!!! (WTF)me eyerolling

I replied "Ok I am not bothered anyway"

He replied " Well then no I dont"

So what was the point in asking as it has stirred up my feelings again just as I was progressing a little.

one word - fishing

another word - needy

and a few more - probably can't bear to see you happy or progressing without him

two more - tough shit!! (to him)

What a prick! He's just done that to give himself an ego boost.

dundeecake · 07/03/2008 11:24

Yes and upset me at the same time

Hmm well my retort to that would have been "well actually I WAS missing you, but you have just reminded me what a tosser you are!"

Men only want what they can't have. If you had said, "Not really, I've taken up sailing and met someone else", he'd probably be saying that it was a mistake to break up and he wants to get back together.

two words 'who is this?'

beaniesteve · 07/03/2008 11:32

wisteria got it right
fishing, needy child

dundeecake · 07/03/2008 12:09

Why would he be fishing? Is it a ego boost? He was the one who finished it.

Yes Starlight he was very insecure & nothing I could do to change that.

Was together for 18 months and I really was in love with him. Have been crying every day since we split up is this normal?

As never been like this before.

Dundee - sorry your so upset and no, crying every day is not normal, sounds like you are depressed. Maybe you should see your GP to get a check up and a referral for counselling.

dundeecake · 07/03/2008 13:00

That was what I was worried about it not being normal, that is why I have been taking long walks every day.

Feel like I am failure now & really weak

which I was crying over my the microwave.

Crying because of the end of the relationship, feel like a failure as I introduced him to my family & friends & made plans for the future & then when we split up he said I made him feel insecure that was his only reason so left me feeling confused. And feel weak as I keep crying over him.

And your last comment Starlight "Having loved him so much" I do feel that I cant do any better even though I know I can.

Because like most men his ego is bigger than the moon.
Don't give him the satisfaction, I'd just laugh and say like a boil on my arse

Ulysees · 07/03/2008 13:33

Alert!! hang on when did you split hun?

dundeecake · 07/03/2008 13:33

Ulysees · 07/03/2008 13:34

dundeecake · 07/03/2008 13:34
