Was I wrong?

Stayed friends with an ex and over Christmas spent a bit of time together (purely platonic) meals out, walks and cinema etc.

They have since joined a walking group local to them and in jest I asked “have I lost my walking buddy then” they didn’t reply so I said “I’ll take that as a yes 🤣”.

Any way, we are due to go to two shows in the next couple of weeks and I asked when the 2nd event was, they replied “walking??” Which it wasn’t btw. I then had a visitor at home so didn’t have chance to reply , I then got another message saying “my name, what the fuck are going on about”.

ive ignored as I felt it was uncalled for or was I wrong to ask if I was losing my walking buddy

It sounds like it's time to move on from your ex.

Yea let him go. Nobody needs to see their ex that much

Find someone else to go to the shows with.

I think platonic friendships with exes are fine and can totally work fine if both are in the same page.
However regardless of the backstory and how you came to be friends, he was very rude to you and he would definitely have lost me as a walking buddy right after sending that text.
Sounds like he was happy seeing you before but perhaps he now has different priorities and seems to be unable to communicate in an adult manner that he no longer wants to continue contact with you at this level, perhaps because of a new person in his life who isn't happy about it or something

@Allthewallsarewhite i know he isn’t with anybody else but his level of communication is up and down. I think he only bothers with me until he finds something better to do and the weather picks up.

Do you want to get back with him? It does sound a bit needy and clingy double texting him just as he joined a walking group

If you think that, let him be?

You're too invested and involved with your ex. You clearly still have feelings for him and perhaps are hoping to rekindle things.

He's allowed to do things with others, or by himself without you. He isn't your possession.

It's best to permanently remove yourselves from each other life and work towards moving on.
