dumped me, no contact, now a text?

ok, so this sounds a bit pathetic i guess, but i'm just curious. Guys, if you broke up with your girlfriend, would you text her say a month and a half later after not having been in contact with her for all that time to see how she was if you didn't have any feelings for her still? Just wondering as my ex broke up with me about a month and a half ago, he gave rubbish reasons, it was really sudden, it finally ended and we didn't speak at all or keep in touch, then out of the blue yesterday i got a text saying 'hi, how you doin? been upto much lately? hope you're ok x' i just thought it seemed a bit odd. Wondered why he'd do it really.

Is it possible that he just hopes you're ok?

It could be for a dozen different reasons, and the only way you'll find out which one is by talking to the guy. Plus you know your ex better than anyone here, so you're far more qualified to decipher the meaning of that than anyone here.

Best way your going to find out what he's upto/after, is to text him back and then see where you stand

i know it won't sound like it because i've made a post on an internet forum about it (i'm avoiding revision) but i'm really not that fussed. i don't want any more to do with him, let's just say he wasn't a very nice person, i was just curious as to why he'd bother texting me when we broke up like we did. i'm not going to bother replying so i'll guess i'll never know. ho hum.

He might genuinley just want to know your ok, i keep in touch with my ex an if she ever had a very serious problem, i'd still be there for her, but only as a friend. You can still care for someone.

i guess the post about me being the only one who knows my ex are true though, as we didn't end on friendly, i-hope-she/he's-still-ok terms. he got really angry at something i said, then cut contact with me. he also ended it really suddenly, well what seemed sudden but i think he'd been considering doing it for a while, with hindsight. sooo... i don't know.

Meh, if you're not bothered just ignore it.

He might actually care about you and simply want to stay in contact as friends. As Bismarck said, I would speak to him about it as he is the only person who would most probably know.

it's just something other than revision to think about, like i said, not fussed either way, just curious. and with that, thanks for the replies, i'm off to have dinner and continue revising. woop.

No problem!! :smile: Good luck.

Reply 11

maybe hes just checking your still alive.

Reply 12

If he's not a nice person, he's probably checking to see if you text him back so if he can see if you still like him (exes (arrogant ones anyway lol) like to do that).

Just ignore it if you're not fussed. Good luck with the revision xx

My theory (albeit harsh, but very probable):

You said he gave you rubbish reasons. I think he was trying it on with someone else so he dumped you; it didn't work now he wants you back.

Like I said in, I think 4 threads similar, ignore Ex's ALL the time. :p:
