Me and my ex of 5 1/2 years (which was my first time being in love) broke-up about six months ago. Right before our break-up, he had informed his family that he was considering proposing to me and had started sending me flowers and everything. However, I found out that he was cheating.
I have remained in contact with his family who loved me. Recently, I made the decision to move from Maryland to Texas and my ex found out. He contacted me and requested us spending time together before my departure. We had the best time, we traveled and throughly enjoyed each other's company. We even shared in depth conversations, something he never wanted to do when we were together. He even initiated and conducted my moving arrangements and suggested that I stay with him my remaining days in Maryland. During this venture, he mentioned several times that he loved me so much and even requested that I not leave him. I didn't really pay much attention to that request because he had been drinking.
Now...shall I mention he is seeing someone. Also, she is constantly at his home, but he forced her to stay at her place so that I may stay at his place. I know crazy!! Anyway, he took me to the airport which was a tear dropper. Now that I have relocated, I have spoken with him once since my arrival. I have attempted to call him once with no answer and no return call.
I did receive a text message from him wishing me "Merry Christmas!" I have sent three text messages with no response. One of the text messages I sent referred to his lack of response. I have literally washed my hands, but am rather confused and hurt!! Guys please advise why he has suddenly started ignoring me.
Because he has another girl and because you ignored his request to stay and moved to Maryland and because your 5 1/2 years together wasn't so great for him that he chose to stay faithful, and he now is trying to move on. Do you really need other reasons than those in your own question to make sense of this?
Not to be harsh, but the sooner you tell the truth to yourself, the easier it will be to move on (or if you must, move back and try again but I wouldn't recommend that path). Either way, you haven't yet "washed your hands" of him, because you are confused and hurt and still texting and calling him even though getting no response. That ain't over him, precious.
He cheated and messed up. He's in the same mind set of say... you ran over your neighbor's dog on accident. It's gonna be tough to look him in the eye and what not. You'll probably want to have the least amount of contact as possible due to the embarrassment.
At one point in his life, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you but messed up by cheating. The guilt and shame he feels by talking to you is probably too un-bearable.
By the way, why do you care? Do you have plans on rekindling the romance or to be friends again?If it's romance then tell him straight out you want to try to make it work again but if it's to remain in contact, he will let you know when he's ready to try to be friends.
Good luck! -22 year old who thinks he knows something.
Since he has another girl in the picture, you're only setting yourself up for more heartache by pursuing this any further. Just say good-bye to him! You can do better. Its obvious he is not serious about you. - 11 months ago
