Is this just attention seeking?

I split with my on and off boyfriend of 2 years last week (we were together 5 years ago) this time around though he's now got a cocaine problem and when we first got back together I thought with my support he'd be able to quit and we could finally move forward etc obviously I was wrong, we've been in the cycle of him saying he's done with the stuff for good, everything is ok for maximum of 3 weeks, then we fall out over something stupid and he's back to his binges then comes crawling back apologising feeling sorry for himself.

Anyway we had a massive row last week and I've finally seen him for the vile abusive pos he is, I've never seen him so angry and the things he said to me had me in disbelief. Luckily don't live together and no DC together. (Even though he'd of loved to of got me pregnant.)

Yesterday he text me a half assed sorry message apologising for speaking to me the way he did but that I'd pissed him off. I just blocked him because the way he spoke there was no excusing it. Later on yesterday I then see him walking down my path, I open my window to ask what he's doing he posts something through my door and walks off, I go downstairs and he's posted photos of me and him.. WTF? Is this just to try and trigger a reaction out of me?

It makes me laugh because he's the one massively in the wrong, his sorry text was pathetic and then he's storming down my path looking pissed off AF to just post some photos? So weird.

Apologies for how long this is, I've seen so many posts on here situations similar to mine and found the replies really helpful so thought I'd make one myself so I can read through them to remind myself to keep him blocked. Thank you

Yeah it smacks of him tugging at your heart strings.

Sounds like my ex. Also a coke head. Massive victim complex when I think back.

Coke heads are a pain in the arse, you are best out of it. They never change and coke always comes first.
I had a fuck buddy on and off for 2 years that was addicted to coke. He would make plans with me then ignore me and choose his mate and a couple of lines. Would borrow money and I knew I would never get it back. I messaged in Feb saying how upset I was at being treated like shit. He read it in April then blocked me. Frustratingly he was the best looking bloke I had met haha

Yes.

As soon as I read the word " cocaine" I thought ditch him.

Ditto.

The drugs will always come first (although when he's feeling sorry for himself he will come running back to you for some tlc) so just dump him permanently.

Thank you all. I'm new on here so can't work out how to quote people 🙈. But you're all right. and Drjones you're spot on, he comes crawling back after a couple of weeks of binging an come downs feeling suicidal and with no money

They always feel sorry for themselves coke come downs, he would vanish then say he had been going through some shit.. Best off well out of it. I wouldn't be surprised if the one I knew come back but only because I was stupid in the past and kept letting him when nobody else puts up with his crap

Get rid! He sounds like a loser.

Divilabit · 29/05/2024 17:23

Who cares what his intention was? As you know perfectly well, tethering yourself to an addict with no desire to stop is a short route to misery. Dump his sorry ass.

"WTF? Is this just to try and trigger a reaction out of me?"

Yes. He's realised his latest predictable outburst and aftermath hasn't had the same effect as it usually has, figured out you've blocked him, so is trying to play on your emotions/tug on your heartstrings to get the attention back on him.

Do nothing apart from get on with your life, preferably as if he's never been part of it.
