Should I respond?


Recommended Posts

My ex and i havent spoken in like 6 months. Sept I messaged him and  asked him for some of my stuff back and he ignored me then blocked me and then unblocked me the next day. Since late November he's been reaching out around every 2-4 weeks or so. He sends random motivational videos never actually trying to have a conversation. One time he did message me trying to joke around.

I haven't responded to anything. I've been completely silent and have just ignored him. Last video was about a month ago. Then today he messages me saying "so we just aint gone never speak huh". Honestly it's the moment I've been waiting for because I wanted more than a video to open the door to a conversation so I can say a few things.  Now I'm wondering if it's even worth it and if I should just continue to ignore it and let it go. 

Advice?

I still love him but I can't and wont get back with him. It's been wayyyyy too much that has happened.

Then stop all contact with him. Block him. 

What is the point of keeping a door for any communication open? Now that you got what you wanted (more than a random video, and terrible grammar at that), close that door.

Definitely horrible grammar. I originally left it open so I could get a few things off of my chest but I wasn't going to respond just to a video. Now I don't have a reason to keep it open but I'm wondering if I should respond and then block him or not respond and block.

Yes. Block that type of spam. The sooner you block and delete him from all your social media and messaging apps, the happier you'll be.

I wouldn't bother responding. 

It will just keep you involved in his antics, and in turn, involved with him. Since you have said you don't want to get back together with him, give yourself the gift of cutting him off for good.

Don’t respond. He sounds like he’s trying to get a reaction out of you and his tone is way off/belligerent and passive aggressive. It says nothing about any care for you, it’s not asking you how you’re doing nor is he offering any information about himself. The sincerity is at subzero levels.

You may be finding it like some form of closure seeing the messages or videos come in as it’s kind of pathetic. Sooner or later you will have to let go for good and be ready to no longer need this anymore. We can still care for someone long after a break up but start making different choices now. It’s time to let go. Block and delete.

This is not how someone who respects and values you talks. (Not to mention, he doesn't sound very bright.)

The longer you keep dwelling on him, the longer it will take you to heal and move on.

Unless he has something of strong sentimental value, I'd cut my losses.
