Why do some exes reach out after some time has passed only t

Post Reply New Topic

I was with my ex on and off for few years and we live 4 hours apart.We finally broke it off for good when he met someone else closer.However, he started to reach out to more than year later.He left several messages on fb , telling me that he misses me and has been thinking about me...he wants to know how I'm doing.I responded back to him when I received the messages a month later.We caught up on our lives, exchanged recent pics.He offered to skype with me but flaked constantly with excuses.Then when we had solid plans to Skype, he didn't come online and didn't return my texts that night.
He texted me the next day and said sorry for getting back at me late,he got caught up with work then offered to Skype for tonight.I told him that I was busy tonight then explained how flaky he's been.He never responded to my texts and haven't heard from him since.I'm hurt with this and I don't why he bothered to reach out only to hurt me

Maybe remind him that you were serious when you said he's flaky. It wasn't a name-calling thing, but in fact a request on your part? For him to stop, and just make up his mind?
It sounds like he's only contacting you when a "mood" arises. Interpret that however you like, I'm just saying...
Maybe it's time to really get over this guy and raise the bar a little bit.
