Why might my ex keep messaging?

He sounds weird.


Posted from TSR Mobile

He isn't over the break-up and is using any even slightly valid reason to try and see you so he can win you back.

He realised what he's missing and wants you back. So what you have got to do now is snap those fingers and strut away like the queen you are.

If you don't want to be friends with him, then don't feel like you have to be.

Walk away and feel the ego boost

Hmm seems weird as he did it and made it very clear he wanted it then. seems a weird thing to do to be friends..

He clearly realises he's made a mistake.

he just texted saying that he still cares and thought he could be a friend even if nothing more, he feels very guilty about his bday, that he treated me harshly etc, misses me and just couldn't cope. -.0
I guess it could just be guilt...

After ~2 years we had a bad breakup following a few not serious ones before. This time he broke up with me and was an absolute **** etc.
Anyway that was maybe end of january.
He messaged once having a go for no reason and being a **** again.
I ignored him since, except when he messaged on my bday. I politely thanked him and ignored his offer to take me shopping.
Anyway I've basically ignored him since (and missed a facetime in that time) and now I'm back on holiday I contacted to get my stuff back - he was very moody when I didn't give him kisses and made me come pick it up. Anyway he keeps insisting now that I go shopping so he can make up for what I spend on his bday. And along text about how he was a **** etc. etc.
He keeps calling and asking what day and whatever - why would I want to go shopping with someone who keeps being moody ? I don't have an interest in having him as a friend.
Problem is he knows some of my friends and people I worked with and where I want to go back for summer so I can't be rude.
Tempted just to let him take me shopping so he doesn't feel 'guilty' and ignore him.
Advice?

Tl;dr - ex broke up with me and was a ****, ignored since but he keeps insisting on going shopping to make up for his bday presents.

He isn't over you and is using this "shopping" thing as an excuse to want to see you and hang out with you and hopefully either talk you round, or otherwise be moody. I recommend that if he really really wants to get rid of his guilt for his bday presents, text him your bank details, and ask him to put some money in your account. That should shut him up, and then you get a bit of cash out of it.

That would explain why he made me come pick up my stuff rather than give it to my friend.
Don't really see how him throwing a fit when I don't reply overnight would make me want to go shopping...
Lol, was tempted to send him my amazon wishlist. He deserves it

Well if he wants you back, he's going about it all the wrong way. He needs to give you peace. If he continues to pester you about his guilt and him owing money to you, give him your bank details, give him your wishlist on Amazon and just tell him that if he needs to buy you something, he doesn't have to see you to do it.

Ahh yeah, it wouldn't work anyway
If he asks again I think I may refer him to the necklace I sent him that I wanted before we broke up. That would be fine right? A nice necklace to match some earrings I have

I dont think its alright to do that.

any better than his idea of going shopping and me having to point things out though? If he feels so guilty it might stop him..
