It's been three weeks since my ex contacted me to try to be friends again and since then i keep thinking of contacting him. Last we spoke I said let me contact you when I feel ready, because he hurt me, but he didn't respect my wish and wanted me to pretend nothing happened so I got mad at him and we had a fight. We tried to get along and ended the chat with something conversational but neither of us contacted the other after that and I unfriended him on Facebook. Maybe it's because I'm not talking to anyone right now, but I keep thinking of contacting him, and honestly I don't really feel like getting into anything new with anyone anyway. I keep thinking of excuses to contact him, like we work in the same field and he would help me, etc. I think it's more of the want what you can't have thing. Maybe if he's just in my life and we're on speaking terms but I just won't really talk to him, I wouldn't think of it so much? Because I don't even remember liking him that much really. What to do?

Just proceed with caution whatever you do.. if he knows your weak he may try to take advantage of that. Just remember all the bad things that you guys went through lol. Go outside, go hang out with friends, focus on work, anything to be occupied. Remember it as a good time in your life but realize it didnt work for a reason. Atleast youll be able to appreciate it and move on. Others on here may not have the same sort of positive outlook on this situation though. Maybe im just crazy idk lol

He did say, "let me contact you when I'm ready." So, let him. I know it is hard and you miss the contact, but time heals all wounds. Trust me, you will feel better with time.

And If you are don't remember liking the guy that much anyway, just move on. Having contact with him will reset the pain all over again.

Good luck to you.

No, I said that. But he didn't give me a chance to. He contacted me when I specifically said I wasn't ready.

No contact! Keep yourself busy, and your mind off him. Good luck!
