Love this. I broke up with my ex 5 months ago after I found out through social media he lied to me about going to visit his boy and actually spent the better part of a week at his best friends place (she’s female) in a different state. This is after countless other lies connected to that one and other things about his relationships. He tried to turn the blame around on me and then make up other lies about it. I was respectful and polite and asked him why he continues to tell me lies. He said he thought I would be mad. I tried to call him but he avoided my phone calls and our couples therapy session that week so I could never get closure. When I texted him about speaking he texted back arrogant things and never apologized. He said lying is wrong but it was justified and created more lies and said he wouldn’t talk or attend the session. I remained nice and respectful and texted him back and thanked him for the relationship and said bye have a good life. A week later he texted me “hey. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to text or not or if you’d answer but I just wanted to see how you’re doing. Hopefully well.” I didn’t respond I was with a group of friends in Miami enjoying my life. Two months later he texts me “Hey. Sorry if this ruins your day or any progress you’ve made. And this is not an I want to get back together text. I’m certain I’ll never hear from you again. Or you won’t hear from me. But let me just say this so I can move on from the pain. I loved you a lot. With everything I had in me. I know you did too. And it took a lot from both of us. I wish you nothing but good things. I hope you are happy all your life.” I found it very self righteous and was mostly because of the guilt he felt or validation he needed from me. No apology still. I didn’t respond. Haven’t heard from him since, my life has been much healthier and better being around more mature individuals who value me and take the time to work through things and have good general communication skills.
