I regret breaking up with him! How do I get him to respond to my text messages?

Question - (7 May 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 May 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I ended things with my boyfriend of two months because I was jealous of the interest he seemed to be paying to my best friend.

I sent him a text message telling him that I was annoyed that he seemed to enjoy her company more than mine and that I never wanted to see him again.

It's been a week and I haven't heard from him. Over this past week I have come to realise that I may have over-reacted and read too much into the situation. I think he was just being friendly towards my friend and he wasn't interested in her. I am quite insecure and I think my friend is far more attractive and interesting than I am so why would he want to be with me?

Anyway, I would really like to talk to him about my fears and insecurities. He didn't reply to my text dumping him and I haven't tried to make contact with him since as I fear he will ignore me. How do I get him to talk to me about this? Even if he doesn't want me back it's really important to me that he understands why I behaved in this way so he doesn't think quite so badly of me. Any suggestions please?

Denise32 agony auntWell, I suppose you know now that you shouldn't act on impulse with a decision you might later regret.......you told him you were ending it; how was he to know you would change your mind later?

You COULD try getting in touch one more time and say you acted in haste and would like to begin again. One thing you shouldn't do is to tell your bf about your fears and insecurities. Why not? Because it may well only give him more reason to question whether he wants to be involved with you.

You need to work on your self-esteem and fears on your own and perhaps talk with a trusted friend who can give you support and good advice.

In future keep in mind that burning your bridges leaves you with no way back........
