I broke up with my boyfriend a month ago. It didn't end in a fight, I just got tired of so many things he'd do to me so I decided to just leave it alone
I was ota down for like a weekend and after that I've had my low moments but mostly I feel free and happy ish.
We don't talk on the phone anymore but he does keep talking to me on MSN and he is ALWAYS eager to tell me about how he's going out here and there and getting home late, etc, etc. and it's so fucking tiring. I've been on the verge of telling him to go fuck himself but I just won't lower myself to that

So, seriously. Why do people feel the need to do this kind of shit

Maybe he's just trying to make himself feel better.

Stay off MSN for a while or when you know he's likely to be on

Soundz like he'z trying 2 make u jealous.Try not 2 let it bother u.

I think he knows he is a jerk and now he is suffering from a bruised ego. He knows you aren't sitting around moping and he can't stand it. So, he is trying to make you jealous.

Block him or just ignore him. Actually if you can just ignore him without blocking him I think that would be the best thing. If you show him you truly don't care one way or the other that will get to him the most.

Because he's a selfish, egotistical asshole who is probably fucking around with other women as is, but want to keep you hanging on. I'm with you, I don't get why immature guys do this shit...my ex still feels the need to text me now and then to ask me what i've been doing with myself, acting like he wants to know if i'm doing okay and then "volunteer" what he is currently doing...even when I answer with one word answers or respond with a meaningless answer for example ("for real", "oh thats good", "oh okay"). But what me and you both need to do is just cut those losers off, because THEY ARE IN FACT LOSERS for wanting us to know what they are doing, or wanting to find out what we are doing with our lives (better known as wanting to know if we are going out with other guys yet to try and feel us out).

Ignoring is the best revenge. I just need to follow through and actually do this. Haven't heard from him lately, which means he'll probably be sending me a message really soon....but this time, he won't get an answer.

Alej, you know back in the day people didn't have to worry about all types of communication keeping them in touch with the person they just broke up with.

Sometimes in this age, you have to engineer the social apart-ness. I think blocking that person on MSN until they get over themselves is a good idea.

he just talked to me

Alej said:

You tell him that if he doesn't back off a giant Turkey is going to kick his ass.

Alej said:

But forreal back in the day they'd have to send telegrams n' shit once they were cut off. Technology makin' it too damn convenient

hokie said:

wtf?

Cinnie said:

technology can be ota retarded

and lawd
he was all

"How come you don't talk to me that much anymore?"

I hate what he's doing to you. Someone here said that he's jealous. SOOO TRUE. That is why he's saying all that stuff. You either listen or just tell him that you don't care to hear what a great time he's having after you've both broken up.

Give him a month and he'll be asking to come back to you.

There's always a variety of reasons why PEOPLE do this (its definitely not just an "immature guy" thing..)...primarily, they actually think that you'd still be so hung-up on them that if they seem to be moving on, you'll be upset....

....on the other hand, they're trying to make it seem like they're moving on and not as hung-up on YOU as they are...you know, the empty declaration that "I'm OK, I'm strong...I don't need you....yada, yada, yada..."

Bottom line, you just need to cut him off....block his emails....texts.....IMs...calls....whatever type of communication he attempts....for however long that it takes....eventually, all stalkers go away...

Completely leave the joker alone.
