Why does he still contact me after we parted ways?

Question - (18 January 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 19 January 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I dated a guy for 9 months, then he moved to another city. I liked him more than he liked me, and I'm having trouble getting over him even though it's been months.

So I do the right thing, try not to contact him, but if I go longer than a week without sending him a text or something, he'll contact me. Not saying of importance, but he just send me a quick line about something.

I am a bit confused why he does this, and it is making it harder for me to move on! When he left, we never discussed ending our relationship, or keeping anything open.

I'm just a bit confused, what does he want? It's been months since I saw him, and don't you think he would've gotten bored with contacting me by now?

I know I need to move on and all that, I'm just curious about the psychology of men and why they do the things they do..ugh.

If you want to move on and can't then maybe you should tell him to stop contacting you. I've been trying to get over a girl recently who contacted me every few days even though she has a boyfriend now. It made it hard to get over her. I told her to stop. I don't want her out of my life because I still like her but it made it easier to move on. Once you've moved on you can be friends again.

It makes him feel good to know that you're there to give him attention. Seriously, just ignore him and move on if you want this to end.

He may not necessarily want anything but for you to pay attention to him and for you to stroke his ego once a week. I say, if you're fine with that then talk to him when he contacts you (but don't expect any sort of relationship to occur), if you really want to begone with him and have him out of your life (since he isn't exactly adding anything to it) then ignore him.
