    My ex broke up with me 5 months ago and a month later he started dating again. I was devastated, confused, hurt, angry because I still loved him. We’ve been together for 3 years. It wasn’t an easy 3 year relationship..We had fights and disagreements but we got it over. I mean really nthere’s no perfect relationship. It broke my heart even more to see him dating another girl. Like those 3 years meant nothing to me, like he never cared or still had feelings for me. When I asked him whether he is dating again, he keeps denying it. Until one day one my way home, I saw him waiting for her outside her work place. He completely ignored and kept giving me ugly facials.2 days ago I called him and told him off over the phone. He then accused me of dating a pilot guy which was the reason why he didn’t want to tell me about his new girlfriend. That was such an immature move. Told him never to contact me again. It’s been 2 nights now he’s still calling me but I never once answered his call. Despite the fact that he’s dating another. I don’t want to answer his call cause who knows he might just call me to crush my ego or maybe he wants to get back again….I don’t know I’m really confused.
    Please I really need advice.

    Do not answer his calls. He has a new girlfriend and is not getting back with you.

    Sounds like it’s time to go no contact for a few months to clear your head of all this and heal.

    I know this is not an easy thing to do but, its for the best. One of my ex boyfriends would do such things and it crushed me to see him dating someone else but, when I finally stepped away and lived my life without him around,I found peace.

    I am sorry you are hurting.

    I do not understand this after breakup relationship you two have….WHAT?

    It makes no sense and is only painful…you are not friends…you are bitter towards each other.

    STOP – think what you are doing….do not contact him…block him from contacting you.

    Grieve and then move forward…leave the past in the past.

    Yes yes I get what you both saying and I have done the NC rule.
    I just don’t get it as to WHY HE IS STILL CALLING ME!
    Shouldn’t he be calling his new girlfriend instead of me?
    What’s the purpose anyway of him still in contact with me.
    I don’t reply or answer any of his calls so far.

    Well then take it a step further and block him.
    Only he knows why he is contacting you. Don’t rack your brain trying to figure out his motives behind such behavior.

    If he really wanted to tell you he wanted to get back with you he would start with a text or an email if you ignore his calls. He wants to use his voice to convince you and to turn on the charm – very dangerous. Once you break up he can date 3 the next day so get past that. He is single so are you. If he wants a chance he can think of a solution. When a man really wants you, nothing stops him

    Hello May

    I’ve deactivated all accounts on social media so there’s no way he can send me an email. He hasnt texted he’s just been calling like 20+ calls but I ignored them all. I texted him to leave me alone and go bother his girlfriend but he keeps calling. Not even a single text.
    He’s not single. He’s dating another girl. She posted up a photo of them on Facebook. Made it official.
    This is all messing me up

    Hi Grace.

    Its an interesting phenomena that when you ignore them they act crazy, but if a lady does it to them they are considered “crazy”. She’s a rebound as its rather normal thing someone to fill the void with another but eventually as their head becomes clearer they realize they weren’t honest with themselves about the reasons for dating (filling a void) and not being in he right mental state of mind. You still have his heart as it takes quite awhile to close that chapter and be able to start a new one with someone else.

    He’s going through the “what do I want” phase where he’s missing you but not wanting to be with you either, if that makes sense. This can last for quite awhile depending upon the length of the relationship and he’s going through a lot of inner turmoil no differently than you are. He obviously wants to talk so maybe hear him out and if he goes negative then hang up and block all further attempts.

    Hello Lane,

    Thank you for your reply. Yes I also have the same thought that she’s just a rebound and his in a somewhat confused phase.
    I texted him earlier telling him to not text or call me for I want closure and for him to take heed of what I want. This is like my second text of the same sentence to him but he just ignored it and kept calling me. He calls me at odd hours in the night. Left 20+ missed calls and not a single text.
    I will hear him out as you suggested and of things go out of hand I’ll hang up and block him.

    Update: He didn’t call me after I sent him the text for him to not text me or call me cause I wanted closure. Unless he had something important to say, he’d call and I’ll hear out. But he hasn’t made contact with me after that txt.
    what do you think?
    Did he take my txt into heart ?
    or is he busy with work at the moment or maybe he’s sleeping with his new girlfriend? :(
    Please someone advice
    I’m devastated

    At this point I think it’s best to no longer be in contact with him.
    It sounds like you need time to heal.
    He may be playing games here.
    Although he is with someone else as mentioned before it’s probably a rebound.Focus on you and not what he has going on right now.

    My x boyfriend moved on in 2months. We were together for 10 years. Nc for months , then on and off contact . The last time we spoke i asked him if he was happy with this woman . He said satified ,but happiest when he was with me . I asked do you love her , he said yes . But he still loves me and thinks about me all the time . So i am very confused i still love him but i am haveing a hard time moveing on . His last words was i love you you ya know . I said ok goodbye . Please give me your input ,i am so confused . I really beluve he does love me . But it just didn’t work out and it’s hard to let go after a 10 year relationship.

    Hold on I’m confused. You told him not to contact you and when he listens, you’re upset? Huh??

    I have a friend who used to get calls/texts from her ex even though he was dating another girl. They used to increase when he and the girl were on a break (used to happen often as they fought a lot). I told her why did she want all the drama in her life and why couldn’t she just block him. So she did and even after blocking him, he found a way to contact her. So then she did the only thing she could think of – she messaged his gf and asked her to ask him to stop contacting her as she is tired of telling him the same thing and inspite of being blocked he still found a way to contact her. Now both of them have blocked her and her life is drama free …. blissful!!

    The reason why I told you this is that it doesn’t matter why he is calling you or texting you or what have you. The fact is that he is no longer your bf and dating someone else (irrespective of whether she is a rebound or not). YOU GUYS ARE NOT TOGETHER. And unless and until you are truly enjoying the drama it brings into your life … cut him out and block him. Be thankful that he listened to you and stopped contacting you. Now you can start the painful journey of healing from your relationship.

    Firstly, I would guess he was calling you because he wanted to make a closure, to end things nicely. And not because he wanted you back together. 5 months is enough to get over someone.

    And secondly,

    this:

    “He didn’t call me after I sent him the text for him to not text me or call me cause I wanted closure. Unless he had something important to say, he’d call and I’ll hear out. But he hasn’t made contact with me after that txt.”

    … is really weird. You texted him to not call you and now you are surprised that he is not calling you.

    Makes no sense. I suppose you wanted him to beg more.

    You could easily call him, ask him what is up, listen to him, and you both would go separate ways.

    I think that would be more adult in your situation.

    Aw hes all messed up and doesn’t know what he wants. Mr right does not let you go and start dating someone else, you deserve better than this believe me. Be strong and do your best to get over this. Focus on you and not him.. Don’t try and work out what hes doing and why, hes maybe not even sure himself. Don’t stalk him on social media, call a friend if you get the urge to do this. This is not easy but in time the pain will diminish. No contact really does help. Do your best to be good to yourself, get a makeover, buy new shoes, try something new at the gym or exercise class. Anything that makes you feel better. He probably will get in touch soon and maybe you should just talk to him and get the closure but do not accept any nonsense, no one is forcing him to date another girl. Be clear if he chooses to do this its unacceptable behaviour. Good luck. x

    For all those whose exs are contacting them while They dating another person PLEASE READ ARTICLES ON NARCISSISTS!! You all
    Will have your questions answered. Narcisissts never leave their past girlfriends when they dating another ! They keep their ex wives or girlfriends as their supplies so when thye gets bored with one they know they can Charm their way back into your hearts ! Trust me I was involved with one. What I read here in this forum about your partners ,I have been through same situations and horror ! Once again I do encourage you to read as much info about narcissists and narcissism victim syndrome ! Also Google “let me reach !” This site was
    Created by a woman (forgot her name )who was involved with a narcisssit !you’ll be amazed that her experiences are very much similar ! I kicked my narcissist guy out the
    Door and locked it for good!

    I’m dealing with a narcissist, he is with a girfriend but keeps harrassing me. We where together 10 years. He told me he was done with me, he did not feel the same way he loved me but not with the same intensity then right away started dating the new woman. He doesn’t leave me alone hit keeps come talk to me for no reason and I don’t want to hear from him anymore. He is torturing me. He is definitely a narcissist.

    My goodness this is my exact experience right now. After dating my ex for 4 years, he left me for a co-worker he had known for 3 weeks. Cheated, lied, emotionally and physically abused me..the whole works. That was 2 months ago.

    Since then he has contacted me to try an get back together, have sex, be best friends, have a beer, go to the cinemas, go clubbing….you name it. While all the time he is still playing happy families with his new girl.

    The only way I felt clarity and gained some control was by blocking him off everything. Unfortunately, he still found a loop hole and contacted me via Whatsapp. I replied telling him to leave me alone for good and then blocked him there. I am a little concerned he will appear at my apartment. But Im hoping he isnt that crazy.

    Whats worse is he blames me for the breakup. Apparently, hes a nice guy and I am a manipulative, deceitful ex who has painted him out to be a monster.

    You need to cut them off at the source. These narcissists need a source, whether its positive or negative, it doesnt matter to them.

    The silence absolutely kills them. They have no idea where to turn which means they are faced to look inwards and thats a frightening place for them to look. If they are lucky, they will have a constant supply of women ready to distract them from themselves.

    Dont look for these people. Dont check his social media, or the new girls. Dont ask questions. Dont speak to mutual friends about them. I promise, this will help you heal.

    My boyfriend broke up with me a year ago and started dating someone new right away. We kept up a phone relationship for months. He makes no attempts to see me yet he talks with me about getting back together all the time. He tells me he loves me and misses me. He calls me and wants to know everything about my life. He’s on my FB page all the time he says, talks about what he sees, but never posts. I found out he took his new gf out on New Years Eve to a 5 star hotel where he took me. I was devastated. I left messages and vented, heart broken but he never returned my calls or emails. Three months later he comes to my house when he knew I was as away and left a BlueRay disc of a play I was in under the doormat he obtained from production. (He came to the play but didn’t see me after). He called ten days later acting as if nothing happened about our falling out over NYE. . He talks to me sweet, then discusses getting back together again and talking about his reservations knowing I still love him and would want him back. Days later he took his new gf on an expensive vacation and to meet her family obviously planned well ahead. Why did he call me out of the blue months later after I found out about NYE and was so hurt? I told him I don’t want to be just phone friends and that we need to see each other in person instead of keeping me for hours on the phone. I still love him, he calls, but doesn’t make an effort to see me citing he’s afraid he’ll either disappoint himself or disappoint me. What does he want from me? Why is he acting this way?

    Gina stop letting him play with your emotions. If he wanted to be with you, he would. It’s as simple as that. He’s keeping you as a backup in case it doesn’t work out with his new girlfriend. He wants to make sure you’re still hooked on him and available if he should want you in the future. You’re worth far more than that. You’ll never get over him while you keep him in your life and you allow yourself to hope he’ll want you back. Isn’t a year enough time to realise that’s not going to happen?

    I feel like a prisoner in a cage. What can I do? How do I get free? I feel like a sitting duck if he calls. And I found out he took his new gf to Costa Rica at a posh hotel.
