writes: My ex gets in touch with me via msn every few months. This time she asked me if I thought anti-depressants worked, because her doctor had given her them and she knew I take/took them when we went together. In addition to this, she always asks what I'm up to, who I'm hanging with etc....i always reply but with very basic info and don't give too much away. I do miss her but try not to think of her. I would never tell her seeing as she ended it and wouldn't want her to know how I feel. Why does she always ask what I'm up to? And more importantly, why does she always tell me things like she is struggling with uni or taking anti-depressants or wants to move somewhere else? Is she just being friendly, seeking attention or is she wanting me back or my attention in some way?Thanks

You could be the only one signed on MSN at that time. She wants a pity party, complaining about her woes, because you'll listen. Then includes you in the conversation a bit, then she goes without contacting you till the next time no one else will listen to her.

If it was more often, I'd say she was genuinely interested in remaining friends. However, if it's only every few months, and only over MSN, it's not that.
She's seeking free attention. It's the female equivalent of making a booty call with an ex. And she's trying to keep in touch so that, when she's had her fun with all the bad boys out there, she can call you back and claim she wants you back, then you'll be the safety net at the end of the dating road for her.
Don't let yourself be used. If you're still feeling anything for her, cut off all contact before you fall into that trap.
