My ex got my hopes up, then dumped me by text! Should I forgive and forget, like my friends say?

A female , anonymous writes:

One night, my friends were hanging out watching movies. My ex jokingly put his arm around me and another one of our friends calling himself a "pimp." It was funny so we all laughed. But then he took his arm off of the other girl and kept his other arm around me. Then throughout the movie, he started holding my hand and pulling me closer to him, and then he kissed me. Several times. I was really excited about it because I really missed him, and I was still in love with him, too.

Later that night, after we had all gone home, he text messaged me. Basically, he said "I know we kinda hooked up tonight, but I don't really want to have a girlfriend. Hope you don't hate me forever. See ya."

I felt horrible. My trust and love for him turned into hate. I only told a couple of my closest friends about it, but now they're all telling me I should just forgive him and forget about it. But I'm so hurt and betrayed... I don't want to forgive him if it's going to make him think what he did was ok. Besides, how could things ever go back to normal when he's hurt me this bad. What should I do?

Text message dumping is unforgivable and a cowards way of dealing with something, he basically used you that night for some attention and feels its ok to put an end to it after, forget him.

Bev Conolly agony auntSorry, no. Dumping by text is unforgivable in my book. He wasn't even man enough to face you when he ditched you? Forget him!

You're not missing anything with your ex. If he'd do this to you when he's just joking around, what might he do to you when you're well and truly latched onto him? Eek. The possibilities make me shudder.

Move along and be glad that this loser isn't part of your life any more.

Forgive but don't Forget

Never let anything like that happen again. If he puts his arm around you take it off and walk off from him. If he ask why tell him :

"don't want you for a boyfriend." "Hope you don't hate me forever. See ya."

Because there are certain types of men that have such low self esteem, that they have to use and hurt women to make themselves look good. He done it to you, and you were supposed to be someone he cared about.

Hope This Helps You.
