Why won't my ex accept I don't want to be apart of his life?

[Selliebeanz]

I was good to him throughout the relationship and did my best to show up because I did and I do still love him. He got put into jail and at the same time I found out he was cheating. Well, we both went out separate ways and I told him I don't want to be friends, I wish you no harm. I just can't be around around and don't want to talk to you. So about a month went by and he reaches out again, towards the end of our conversation I told him I wanted to be with him and he's like I just want to be friends with you and I told him I'm sorry I can't do that for you. He then started getting upset with me and it got to the point where I had to block him because yes, it is asking a lot out of me when I'm in love with him to just be his friend when he's the one who wanted the relationship to begin with. I feel like I did the responsible thing but it's hard for him to let go. If I can love him so much but cut things off because it's the right thing, why can't he respect my decision?

His exact reason dosent matter, whatever it is it's just selfishness.
Sounds like he's just trying to get the parts of the relationship that we're beneficial to him back.

Sounds like his goal is to have you as a friends with benefits or somekind of side chick sugarmomma.

Or maybe he thought he could sweet talk you into putting money in his comasarry.

Ooor he's just wants to use you till he gets out cause it's got to be pretty hard to find new women when you're locked up.

He probably can't depend on whatever homewrecker he cheated on you with so now he's trying to slither back cause he needs something, but he's straight up not willing to give you what you, ie he won't be faithful.

Whichever reason he has, you can see those all suck and you deserve better than that.

Why don't you make that decision for him -- block him and don't respond.

I think why he doesn’t want to doesn’t really matter. Just stay firm on your decision and eventually he will get the picture.
