He up with me after an interferring relative made him believe I was bad-mouthing him behind his back to her.

He never confronted me about it he just ended the relationship. he wanted to remain friends and I just cut him off totally.

This was 3 weeks ago and I am totally off his radar. So now he is making status update on his Blackberry which are obviously aimed at me. For example, saying he is going to a concert that we soke about going to but we couldn't get titckets. Now suddenly he has tickets and is going.

I was devastated when he eneded is and cut all contact but it has killed me not to speak to him. He is so stubborn I know he would never make the first move. It would have to come from me. The situation is complicated by the fact that this is an age gap relationship (Iam older). He doesn't want to look stupid in front of me. But I don't want to contact him after the way things ended with his relative still talking rubbish in his ear.

If I tell him what his Aunty is really like, he would never believe me.

Honeypie agony auntNo it rarely means he wants you back, but usually mean that he wasn't you to constantly miss him, think of him, want him.. It's like a little ego-trip.

I suggest you put HIM on ignore. STOP checking his Facebook or whatnot. Block his number, delete it.. and move on..... I think he used his Aunt as an excuse to dump you.

Drew21 agony auntYeah, i have to agree. A lot of times the person who ends it just wants to be sure that you're missing them.

I had this happen with an ex-gf. I was devastated when she ended it, and was desperate for any sign that she was reconsidering.

She did all sorts of stuff that seemed to be directed at getting my attention, and i think they were.. But not for the reasons i was hoping for. I hope she was trying to indicate to me that she missed me. She didn't, she just wanted to make SURE that i was feeling hurt and sad, and any time i fell into her trap and actually attempted to approach her she made sure to make me feel like a crazy idiot.

Sadly, all you can do is cut him out of your life. If he really TRULY wants you back, he's gonna have to make the first move because he is the one who ended it.

Sadly, it doesn't. This is more like the act of a guy who's too immature for you. I'm dating an older woman, and I don't act this way ever. I'm afraid he's just out to hurt you, and it seems to be working. I would look to change your number and entirely block him from your life.

If a guy likes you that much, he won't dump you over some crappy Aunt's comments, he won't then insult you by wanting to remain 'friends', and he won't treat you with this level of immaturity.
