 Cursing is swearing, and swearing their ears off literally means I'll be yelling at them and making them feel like pathetic losers.

Chigirl what does cursing their ears off mean? lol! (slagging them off?)
Anonymous, I feel relief that I've 'seen the light' so to speak.
Bardia, I hope you find closure too, or you can successfully remain friends. (I know how you are feeling!)
Honeypie, I thought we were/could be 'real' friends, but I know now we can't, as it takes equal amounts of effort, and I feel this is onesided :-(
Thankyou everyone, I don't feel such an idiot anymore (maybe I was just too optimistic...sigh!!!!!!!);)

 Maybe up until now you got something out of the communication too? Or maybe you are getting to a point where you are over him?
Don't feel bad about it, just stop taking his calls/texts. Block his number.

 Yeah. Time to break all ties with this one. I have been in a similar situation. I realized the problem a while ago, but I chose to put on blinders to it, hoping it wasn't true. I've since called him out on it. We'll see if it changes anything, but I'm not so sure...But yeah, these kinds of personalities are draining and unhealthy. He needs to get help and you need to just get away from the poison. It's too draining on you to keep this up. Good luck...

In the past it has happened to me too, but I eventually realised she was a 'user' also, and just gradually stopped answering her messages, or replying with a short answer and usually with an excuse that I had to go, was going out etc!Be glad you have realised and are free of them :)

Sounds like you were just entertainment, yes. I haven't had this happen to me though, so can't relate. Usually after a break up, if an ex contacts me, I curse their ears off.
