I was involved with this guy only for a short while, like 2 weeks. It was the most emotionally draining 2 months of my entire life!
I say two months because we tried just being friends after I saw red flags and put him in the friendzone even though I still had feelings for him and wanted to see the good in him.
He was controlling, jealous and emotionally abusive to me. After running into him last week he text me the next day out of the blue saying it was good to see me.
To make a long story short, I feel like he’s been playing mind games with me. I finally decided to stop it and told me that I’d rather us not even be friends or associate anymore.
He texted me back saying that he was sorry if he was ever a burden in my life and that he’d respect my wishes.
I’m really trying to break the pattern of liking emotionally abusive men.
Do you feel I overreacted or did the right thing? Also, do you feel his apology was sincere and that he’ll stay away? Asking because I’m thinking about blocking his number.

Just block it. Overthinking your choices is another bad habit when it comes to choosing those sort of men. It’s hard to break out of patterns you’ve spent so long creating, so many years. You can get through it though, just keep your motive for doing this at the front of your brain, and remember he is not changing. No more hopes and stars and dreams, you’ve got to face the reality of what he’s putting on the table.
not at all!! he was abusive to you, not that it wouldn’t be reasonable to not feel comfy with an ex who hadn’t been abusive.
