writes:When my ex and I broke up, we decided to remain friends. In the beginning, things were great. We were talking everyday, laughing, having fun.Then one day be became passive aggressive. When I made a joke, he called me bitchy and then later said that he was joking.Today I called him and asked him to stop by my work to pick up the books he left at my house. He never showed up, never called me back.I feel like he's ignoring me on purpose and I don't know why. Since the break up I was nice to him, never said anything mean. What is he doing? Why is he acting like this?

 I agree, and ex is an ex for a reason. Once a relationship breaks up there is no point trying to establish a friendship. There are mixed emotions and feelings after a break up.

 I agree with SCV
A lot of people can not really B friends after a break up, but they try because it's nice for a while to have someone familiar around to talk to.
I would just send him a text letting him know that he can pick the books at you work place - or you could go mail them and be done with it.
After that? Just delete/block/ignore and move on.
Could be that he has a new woman in his life, or having a bad day.
He is an ex for a reason. Leave him in the past.

 Because you are an ex.
I will never understand why people think that it's important to be friends with an ex.
Be civil
be friendly (different than friends)
be adult.
I know that when I broke up with my ex we were very friendly at first as a way to transition to no longer being a couple... now we are civil and friendly when we see each other but we have no other contact regularly.
You need to let him know that he needs to get his stuff by XX/xx/xx or you will dispose of it as you see fit
then move on and don't expect contact from him.
be civil and friendly when you run into each other but it's time to be like Elsa and LET IT GO.
