He’s got the upper hand!

My ex-boyfriend, who’s been recently insisting he wants me back, but he changes his mind like the weather. I’ve tried to sever ties with him on many occasions, but he always texts me and I find it impossible to ignore him. He upset me yesterday when he more or less admitted he doesn’t want to see me, so I finished it. But he didn’t believe me, he said, ‘talk 2 ya tomoro’, when I said bye. I’ve vowed to ignore him when he texts again, or block him from my phone for a week in order to give him time to think. I need to see him, but if he can’t do that, then I know it’s over. Any opinions?

Block him from your phone permanently.He sounds annoying and inconsiderate.

Lose him. This guy sounds like he’s just going to keep doing this. My guess would be to keep you on a string for convienience. You need to tell this creep it doesn’t work that way. Find someone who can make up their mind, and who will treat you with respect.

it sounds like he isnt into wanting you back.. but wants to keep that hold on you so that you do not move on.. because he wont be able to bare the thoughts of you being with someone else.. you need to cut the strings.. change you phone number so that he can no longer contact you.. he is playing mind games with you…

I blocked him on my phone for a day and now he’s removed me from Bebo. I’ve unblocked him now, but I’m pretty certain it’s over. I’m really going to miss him.
