Should I respond to my ex's email even though I know she is just stringing me along in case it doesn't work out with her new guy?

A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Me and my ex girlfriend broke up about 2 weeks ago. We were going out for a year and a half. She always said that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. But then one day she started to act all distant and started to ignore me. We then broke up saying she needed time to see if she could stand on her own feet. She stared to see this guy right after we broke up, and I found out about this but she doesn't know that I know. She is one of those girls who always has to talk to a guy when she is single to make herself feel good. I did the no contact thing for 2 weeks and then..

I get an email saying how much she hates not talking to me everyday and that there isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't think about me and that she is truly sorry about how things ended. She said that she gets why I don't want to talk to her anymore and just wanted to apologize.

I feel like this is 100% B.S. and I know its just a ploy to string me along in case nothing else works out. I do not want to get back together with her and I will try to avoid her, but we go to the same college and have a lot of the same friends.

I am having trouble thinking of what to do with the email... I want to call her out and tell her that I'm not going to play her stupid game and that I know she left me for someone else. I don't know if this will make me feel better or not.

Should I respond or just ignore her?

It's possible she did want to stand on her own two feet but was too weak-willed to do so, so forgive her that.

If you do answer, tell her yes it's sad but for the best that you parted, and that you hope you can both stay on good terms. That makes an end of story without any more ill feelings.

Delete the email. Its just her guilty conscience. Go find the girl who doesnt want to leave you.
