His family wouldn't accept me due to an age gap and other things. He also confessed some old feelings for an ex. I pressed him for the truth about everything and it was harsh. Not going to go into all of it.
He begged me to block him and I said he should block me since he is dumping me. He did. Also, he was the one who pursued me.
It's been three weeks and he sends me a message saying his uncle died. I didn't even open the chat and deleted it. Then I updated my profile pic and whats app status. 😬. I've long deleted his number so I don't know when he did unblock more or if he has reblocked me.
We never slept together but it was an intense emotional relationship. Please don't pontificate about what I should or shouldn't do. I don't want to be with him. Just would like to hear people's opinions on the motivations.
Why would an ex who blocked me after dumping me and saying he would never contact me again suddenly reach out to tell me his uncle died?
The dumper usually doesn't care about you until their life turns to crap and they need someone their familiar to comfort them usually it's someone like an ex for example something that brings them intimacy and closeness
He is seeking comfort and affection because he's in a hard time. He knows that he can profit off of your kindness, I suggest that you won't turn back to him, he's not in love with you but what you can provide him with
Ok. Would you like to take a crack at the actual question? Also, the breakup was barely a month ago. It's normal I'm notnover it yet. I have a right to go through the process of being hurt and not being over him.
Being concerned about his motivations and obsessing about that stuff will make your recovery take longer. What's more important: getting insight into how an ex thinks, or moving forward?
Only let people in your life that deserve to be in it, and only give the privilege of affecting your thoughts and emotions to those who have proven that they want what's best for you.
My only thought would be if you were close to his uncle? or had ever expressed a fondness for him. Other than that, I would chalk it up to him hurting and wanting an excuse to start things back again with you.
SOMEBODY IS A HORNY BOY and used to date a girl who knew how to take the load off…. OR The only one he didn’t lay pipe into…feels like an impartial straight opinion and hug 🤗. AWWwwww‼️
Either way, he’s seeking EXPOSURE. How sweet in a time of regret and remorse
I'm guessing he just let everyone in his contact list know about his uncle's death, as an act of common courtesy, and you are probably still in his contact list... people rarely delete contacts.
If you read the post, he said he was blocking me and would never contact me again because of family pressure. He said he was dine with me for good. I am not on his contacts list and there is absolutely no requirement of common courtesy. I didn't know nor had I ever met his uncle.
If it was an intense emotional connection then he probably misses that and is using his uncles death as a scapegoat or a reason to pull you back in. It happened exactly to me, six months ago my uncle died and he was really close to me and my ex took that as a try to emotionally pull me back in. He abused me, and then I finally left and I’ve been better for it
Girl the mens family never likes the women especially the men’s mom. Emotional incest OMG. The mom’s think of themselves as the girlfriend surrogates and get jealous when their son finally finds someone 😭
We had an age gap. But he said a lot of cruel stuff to me. He really doesn't realise what he stumbled upon with me. I am the winner even if I got sh***ed on a bit.
I was freshly 13 and he was 38 and dying and it lasted 3 years I finally got free in January and have been a better person for it trust me. You are going to have the good future in the end. He won’t
I don't believe in all this 17 years old is a child BS but 13 and 38 is absolutely a power imbalance and rarely not abusive. No matter how mature or desirous of a sexual relationship a 13 year old is. And yes young teens do want to have sex. Anyhoo, I hope you are stronger and wise beyond your years for it.
I think it is clear I want a hypothetical response since I was asking for people's opinions on his motivations. I know that I cannot know without asking the person and people lie so that isn't even aguarantee. I don't think my question inferred any expectation of knowing for certain.
The frequency of questions on here demanding a realistic response and the paucity of hypothetical questions such as your lulled me at this early hour in assuming the former of your query.
I did not say it was lacking in substance (although on reflection perhaps it is) I was saying that I simply misinterpreted your needs in asking. Do you want a hypothetical answer from me?
I have only been asking for itnsince you forst started getting down on me for wanting speculation. So yes, yes Inwould. Thank you kindly. 😊 And, in defense of my post, I think it provides a pretty good landscape to offer up speculation and hypotheses.
Fine. I would hypothesize that the death of the uncle, particularly if unexpected and/or if he was young, aroused such anxiety in your ex regarding his own ultimate mortality (as unexpected deaths in young people are won't to do), that he felt the need to seek solace in others, you being one of them - perhaps (or not) the only person he could turn to.
Yes, autocorrect sucks. No, his uncle was old and had been a death's door for some time. I highly doubt I was the only one he reached out to. Knowing him he probably plastered all sorts performative grief all over his whatsapp. Since I am not on any of it I won't see it.
My assumption is you're somebody he had a connection with, now distant enough no damages matter and still had that relation so you can get it over some random person. Close enough to have had relevance, far enough nothing matters.
Nothing in my post siggested that. The question was asking for opinions on what would motivate the person. Would you mind giving an opinion on the actual question asked since you took the time to chime in? 😊
Oh yes, he was an attention whore. I dleted his number when he dumped me so I don't know what is whatsapp looks like but I am 100% sure its him being all sad and expecting messages from people. I would never validate him that way because I knew how deeply unhealthy it was.
I never would have even bothered with him if he hadn't pursued me so much. I don't truly know whatbhis deal is/was. All I know that my role in the story is written out.
