Question - (2 April 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 April 2008)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

I split with my ex a while back, although I know deep down I still like him. He was awful to me and treated me like dirt hence the reason we split up. He used to call me slut among other things, ignore me, spit on me and when I got pregnant he begged me to have an abortion because it would destroy his life if I kept it. I did, and when I was in pieces afterwards he was nowhere to be found. I found out 2 days later that he was abroad on a last minute stag party. All of this gives me a good reason to dump him which I did.

Only, he cannot accept the fact that I dumped him for this. He says 'I got stressed over nothing' but I would hardly call that nothing, would you? He wants to be my friend but its too hard for me, so whenever I see him now I just ignore him. But then he will text me calling me a weirdo or saying I have mental problems becos Im ignoring him. Its like he doesnt understand or remember exactly what he done to make me finish with him in the first place. In his eyes its all water under the bridge, even though it only happened a couple of months ago. It frustrates me so much that even after all that he's put me through, even now he wont accept that he's in the wrong and that he's hurt me, he simpy thinks I have mental issues thats why Im ignoring him.

I could give in and just be his friend but I can't because it hurts too much, and cos for some weird reason I still like him. But he won't accept me not being his friend!! I've tried to tell him why I can't, but he doesnt understand. Wot should I do?

A Cappella agony auntDO NOT give in to this guy. He's caustic. He's a real looser. He doesn't think about you at all, only himself. You deserve SO MUCH BETTER.

Cut him off. He doesn't get another word from you. Block his phone number. Seriously. Good for you for leaving him. You're worth much more than he has to offer. Good luck hon.

you are not "stressed over nothing." the behavior you have described is that of a controlling and manipulative ABUSER. it sounds like you have gotten away from him. do NOT go back.
