AITA for refusing to move on?
Reddit, AITA for refusing to move on from my (ex)boyfriend?
My boyfriend (31M) broke up with me (28F) 8 months ago – if you can even call it a breakup. He came over one night, cried and screamed at me, then left. He hasn’t answered my calls or texts since. No explanation, not even an official “it’s over” conversation. We had been fighting, and he said I was just “acting out for attention.” I guess maybe I was, but I just wanted proof that he really cared. But instead he called the fucking cops on me.
Now he’s dating around, and I can’t get over him. I didn’t get any closure, and I guess that’s just making it hard for me to accept that it’s over.
I’ve ran into him a couple times. Okay, several times. And maybe it wasn’t exactly a coincidence… but I just want to talk. I just want to know why he didn’t want me, and I thought surely if he saw me, he’d realize this was a mistake!
But every time he sees me, he looks like he’s going to be sick. Am I truly that disgusting? And these new girls he’s dating – they act like I’m not even there!
I’ve tried texting him, and at first he just ignored me, and for a while I thought he must have blocked me. But he finally responded this morning, but it’s hard to even get excited about that, because it wasn’t exactly the “let’s work this out” message I was hoping for. I think he was way out of line and the asshole for treating me like this. We were together for almost three years, and I think I deserve at least some kind of closure.
Edit:
His text this morning said:
“I don’t know who you are, but this has to stop. It’s not funny, and it’s honestly crossing a huge line. I don’t know how you got this phone number, but Kathy has been dead for months and these texts are horribly inappropriate. Stop contacting me”
