I've been ignoring him since the incident; I'm just tired of his two-faced attitude, even though he means well. He seems to be trying to show he's sorry without ever saying he's wrong; he'll "like" things on facebook that I do that have NOTHING to do with him, or even copy them sometimes. I'm just pissed because if I had done that to him, I would have AT LEAST apologized. He can be really shy around me, but we've known eachother for 6 months so I think he should be comfortable enough to apologize... I don't mean to be rigid, but what he said just went way too far....

You guys gave me brilliant advice, and I'll definitely take it. Thank you so much!!!

I had to do that with my ex and it was amongst one of the best things I've ever done, because I live a very positive life and my ex was doing nothing more than making my life negative. I'm happier now that my ex is out the picture. I always surround myself with positive people and my ex was not fitting in my positive world. It will be hard at first detaching only because you are caught up in the dysfunction that you were manipulated into but once you throw out the negativity you will never allow it back in. Remember it's all about your life being happy and free of other peoples bs even your ex's. You will be okay and definitely better off. I promise you.

Don't respond until he says he's sorry. You just have to be patient. if you take him back without this, he'll do even worse next time because he knows that you'll let him get away with it. He needs to accept responsibility for his action and he must do this and think to do this all on his own, you must not hint this or speak to him. He must admit his fault so he learns how much he messed up. it is hard to say sorry someties so doing This will let him know and respect your boundaries. Stay Strong, this is where you help this guy know how to treat you.
