Why doesn’t my ex boyfriend want to let go?

Question

Dumped him and he isn’t trying to let me go

slatyb · Accepted Answer

Why is never important. The only important question is "What are you going to do?" If you don't want any further contact, then block him where possible and NEVER respond to him. Maybe one last reply "It's over. Leave me alone." ABSOLUTELY NOTHING after that.

He's emotionally unhealthy most likely. His ego is now in control and wants to win... not try to understand. It's unfortunate. Hopefully time will help.

You dumped him because you were done with the relationship. But he probably wasn't done and is having a hard time getting over you. He's probably hoping that he can change your mind and get back together with him.

He may like you, but he doesn't respect your desires so he wants to keep you to himself.

When I was a weak man, I acted that way with an ex when she broke things off without a reason. Didn't try to talk to me or anything. Took me months to accept she wasn't the one.

Months after I accepted that I was single again, she came back around wanting to talk then she went to playing games and lying. I just told her I wish her the best and I'm gonna move around.

Months after that, she calls my phone apologizing for what she did to me the year before and wanted to try again. I told her to prove it to me and believe it or not, she disappeared. So I blocked her number and deleted her name out of my contacts.

Some men cannot give up their romantic partners, no matter how clearly they know that the relationship is over. Even if they know it upsets their ex, they still won’t, or can’t, give up. They may feel they can never find someone so perfect for them and/or they feel insecure when threatened by the loss of someone they feel can never be replaced.

Sometimes they will stalk their ex and occasionally their anger can result in them harming or even murdering their ex. Regardless, eventually they get over it and move on.

He's in denial. Pretty common reaction to a breakup. But from your previous questions, he's having a rather extreme reaction. So might wanna take things up with the police since he's refusing to give back your keys or give you back your stuff. A restraining order may be necessary.

kevyhanma · Answer

Because he knows you his everything you all he ever wanted and he wanna do it real big bigger than you ever done it you be up on everything the other hoes ain’t never on it he want this forever he swear he can spend whatever on it because you hold him down everytime he hit you up when he get right he promise that y’all gonna live it up you make him beg for it until you give it up and he say the same thing every single time...

kkirk4442 · Answer

He still feels an attachment, and is not making a clean break from you, and is hung up on his feelings for you. Guys who cling to a lost relationship, often have low self esteem, or are narcissistic.

Read all the opinions and know that that's how the society is. Dumping is the trend. You will keep moving from one man to another and in the end it will all feel meaningless.

So in a time where every avg joe is trying to be alpha males and whatnot... Don't let go of people who truly loves u

How is the house key? I mean as much as he bothered me in notifications, I really wanna go punch him!

Anon621 · Answer

He's probably in denial where he refuses to want to lose you. If I were you I would just leave him be until he finally moves past you.

He thinks he can still 'talk' his way back together with you.

Massageman · Answer

Can't take rejection - he's in denial. Don't buy into the pity party.

Floppy2112 · Answer

Well, he likes you. Don’t communicate with him or he will just keep nagging you and neither of you will be able to move on.
