Search Results: ex hurt by a guy

Two days ago, I had a discussion with my girlfriend (initiated by me) about our plans and having kids. I was reconfirming to make sure we're on the same page and she's 100% sure about it. She reconfirmed she's ready. So now I know her answer will be a yes. That's all I needed to know.

My past rejection:

After 5 years of being together with my then first girlfriend (now ex girlfriend), she declined me. I was 22 at the time when I asked her the question and the answer was a no. I felt the same exact way women feel when their guy won't commit. I felt the exact pain those women feel. This might sound silly but after I got home, I cried for a bit in privacy. It was really hurtful.

The reason for the question on my post if because recently someone else on a site said that only women would have that reaction of crying and being sad over it, that if we get sad about that, we're acting like a girl and that she was right to decline his proposal. I felt the same hurt. But we can get hurt equally if it's the woman that won't process in the relationship, that declines a proposal right?

Basically an ex went out of her way to contact me despite me blocking her on almost everything just to tell me she has a new boyfriend. I was a bit puzzled tbh we broke up because I didn’t feel like we had that kinda connection that’s like a spark and it hurt her, tired being friends with her for a bit but she kept trying to rekindle our short lived relationship so I blocked her on almost everything.. except my Xbox because I forgot so she texts me on that to ask how I am and to tell me she has a new man, I congratulate her and say I wish them both well but follow up with saying you probably shouldn’t contact me anymore then as you don’t want to upset him. She then responded with “it’s okay he trusts me like I trust him” So I basically insisted she leaves me alone by saying still I bet he wouldn’t like it, have a good one and she eventually excepted that and said “you too”
The whole encounter seemed cringy tbh and confusing 😅
But what do you girls and guys think? Is she trying to make me jealous?
