Would you meet up with an ex who said this...

I've been made aware through a mutual friend that my ex is considering getting in contact to ask if I'd like to meet for a coffee now that time has passed. We broke up 2.5 years ago after more than five years together, when he discarded me out of the blue, telling me he'd never been in love with me, ever, but knew I was in love with him, and some other cold words.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard this. I don't know what he wants, but I really still don't want any contact, even though I'm long over him now. I know people say you can become friends with an ex after time has passed, but I really don't want this. Am I being reasonable or not?

If you ignore you run the risk of him 'thinking' you didn't get it and continuing to hassle you. If you can craft the perfect 'thanks but no thanks' message I'd go with that.
"Hi, I'm fine, thank you. I'm not interested in keeping in contact, so all the best." Something like that. Then ignore anything further.

This, then block or delete anything further. Wanker is clearl looking for a re-do and frankly, he can fuck right off.

Ignore. He hasn't asked you for friendship or anything, or apologised (I appreciate you haven't listed the whole email) but there's nothing to reply to. I think he just wants to know he can get your attention and will probably disappear. Definitely ignore.

He hasn’t found anyone better and knew he’s willing to settle for you. What a cunt. Block him and remove any temptation or curiosity.

Thanks, all. I've decided not to engage now just because it suits him all of a sudden. Thanks for all the advice.
