Stupid Ex Boyfriend aka First Love


Question Posted Sunday June 22 2008, 7:17 pm

My ex boyfriend kills me! my broke up because i was moving. we had one of the worst breakups EVER. we broke up 2 months before i moved and in that two months he avoided me and was just horrible all because he was trying to hide his pain and was afraid. we finally made up and said goodbye (including frenching a couple times) and then he texted me and i was so happy because i thought we could be friends but then when i responded (like a day later cause i wasnt allowed when i got the text) he wouldnt respond!! then i finally moved and when i moved i was OK. i moved on and didnt even think about him much or anything. i havent seen him for about 3 weeks now. then i got really sick and was in the hospital and i have to get surgery and stuff and my really good friend is dating his older brother (who im also friends with) and so his brother told him. he and i had truly loved each other so im assuming he cared and was worried. so he texted me. i texted him like 4 different times after but he didnt respond. AGAIN. and having contact with him again REEEALLY messed me up. after saying goodbye i was good but then with these random texts i get messed up again. idk just can you tell me what you think??

I'm adding to Jack's answer, adding a girl's perspective.


My recent-ex boyfriend of mine hated getting a lot of messages from me at once, without him responding. It was actually one reason we broke up. Stupid, I know.


Anyway, I'd give up texting him for awhile. He might be really busy. Or his phone might have gone for a swim.


Call him, on a house number if you can. Ask him what's up, and tell him that you're alright and such. He might be really worried, and not know what to say. Like you broke up, and he doesn't want to say anything too direct/weird/impersonal? I'm not a guy, so I don't know how they think, but I'm certain that you get where I'm going with this.


Maybe after a couple months you could all hang out [you, him, his brother, and your friend] and catch up on things. And I wish you a good recovery from whatever happened; worrying about this won't help a thing, so just relax for now.

I think you shouldn't be so quick to assume that he's ignoring you. [Sorry that came off rather snippy...] Sometimes people have problems with their phones, and maybe he hasn't been receiving your text messages.

What I would do is this:
1. Call him. Don't text him. You can't be sure that he's receiving your texts.
2. Ask him [politely] what is up, and if he's been receiving your texts.
3. If he hasn't, suggest that he get his phone checked or fixed or something.
4. Chat for a bit, maybe? That is, if you feel it appropriate.
5. Relax. Everything will be okay =]
