Why didn't my ex retaliate?

Question - (8 August 2015) 3 Answers - (Newest, 8 August 2015)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I had a bad fall out with my ex. He stopped speaking to me and cut me out of his life by both phone, Facebook and Whatsapp.

I was so hurt by this and confused by his actions, as we used to get along well - that the other day I sent him a text message via a different phone saying something true but quite nasty and hurtful to him - but warning him about some girl he likes and trusts.

I'm sure he would have guessed it's from me and that I was just venting my anger, but although he never replied, he didn't report or block the message either surprisingly - so now I wonder if he :-

a) Firstly believes there is some truth in what I say or

b) May want me to message him again?

I'm fairly sure he hates my guts, especially after this - but just wonder why he hasn't retaliated after he was so keen to get me out of his life in the first place!!?

Why didn’t he retaliate? The clue is in your final sentence: he’s already cut you out of his life. Why are you still trying to interfere in his life? What good does it do you playing childish games like this? He obviously didn’t think your silly gesture merited a response. He doesn’t secretly want you to message again, he wants nothing to do with you. It’s time to forget about him and concentrate on your own happiness.

I wish you all the very best.

hi. I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here or what your motive is behind it. You are finished, he has blocked you from all media's- this is him telling you he doesn't want contact with you any more, you are his ex for a reason.....and that is because yo u, he, or both of you don't want to be in a relationship together, it wasn't working.

you have gone to an awful lot of trouble to "tell him something" , or bad mouth another girl.....or whatever your reason is, if I'm honest it's a bit nuts! I doubt he is bothering to block your number etc given it's a different number etc. he maybe is thinking 'hey, i cant get through to her with the blocking, I'll just ignore.

you sound from what you have shared that you are carrying on as if you haven't come to terms with the end of this relationship.

hunny, it's time to move on....This isn't a healthy way to carry on when you have split up.

He has already cut you out of his life. He knows the message is from you, and he isn't going to let you trick him into going back and forth with you. He's ignoring you.

It's best for you to move on and leave him alone. Aren't you being a tad hypocritical to be warning him about somebody else, when he had a bad falling out with YOU?

Do you have a right to judge someone else, when you were mean to him yourself?

Regardless of what the falling out was about; he did the right thing. He decided to just stop and move on; instead of keeping up a feud with you. He did the correct and mature thing. Now you do the same. Stop trying to provoke him. That's mean and underhanded. Let it go!
