Thread: My ex is acting weird...

He is having trouble letting go and I think you did the right thing not taking his calls anymore. I can understand still trying to at least be there for him on messenger since he is so depressed. Even though you have a boyfriend, that hasn't put him off. Don't feel like you owe him anything, if you wanted to, you could sever all ties immediately and get a restraining order if he kept persuing... but that doesn't sound like what you want to do.

And I really don't blame you, it seems you want to keep the peace as best you can and keep him from hurting in a depressed state but at the same time let you move on. You could try to be a lot more distant and business like in your responses to him on messenger. If you are funny and sweet and interesting on there it might be keeping him in that zone of wishing you were his. Not saying be mean... but just short and to the point, robotic even, boring.

Not sure if that will help but if he is still being rewarded in someway through your conversations he's going to still seek them out, but if you are distant and such maybe he will start to emotionally detach enough to understand, see the big picture that you guys are no longer going to be together, not ever.

I try to keep things short, but I guess not short enough. I'll try one-word answers from now on. Thanks for your input!
