My ex goes from being friends with me to telling suddenly we shouldn’t talk and I go no contact for a month.

Living my life and I get an email from him tonight. Not sure if he’s throwing shade at me and trying to be nice all in one sentence

I don’t want to reply but I really want to stay how unstable and unhinged he is for sending me this email.

The “I’m happy, I am praying you’re okay” really just gives me the ick.

Cancer Men why are you like this?

It is too much, I’ve reached a level of peace and wasn’t easy to get here.

His email said

“ I went through videos of you 🤦🏽‍♂️ god damn. I’m happy, I pray that you’ll be okay”

Tell me this sounds like a dis or a dig at me? Tell me I’m not crazy?



I haven’t responded but I literally want to scream at this man telling him how unhinged and unstable he is. When he cut communication I went no contact and I’m okay but his emails like this just really make me upset.

The best thing you can do is to maybe keep it moving. He dismissed you and now wants you to validate these weird things he’s saying with a response. If you respond I think it should be to say just what you feel which is that cutting you off then coming back around to say he’s been watching videos of you..? And hopes you’re okay? He’s clearly the one not okay and then I think you shouldn’t talk to him again He also probably had no intentions of being just friends like he tried to portray a facade of

Thank you for this! This is helping me in making a decision to not respond but if I do what I should say.

I don’t think I will respond and if I do I need to think clear and long what to say and keep it moving.

I could make some guesses as to what's going on. I definitely have some thoughts.

But, I think you're better served by blocking that email address, deleting the email UNANSWERED and moving forward with the life you were creating for yourself.


Please share your thoughts, I would like to hear them

I don’t plan on responding, it’s not worth it for me.

Mkay.

My thought is, he told you no contact in hopes you'd actually try to maintain contact. Chase him. You didn't. Now he is trying to weasel back in.

I don't think it's a dis. It's an oh crap I didn't want to actually lose contact and now I have to try to act like I'm not trying to regain contact while regaining contact. Might turn into a dis after you don't reply though.

Cancer can be pretty passive aggressive.

But it's worth your time to speculate on what the intentions behind his actions are . . . ? and letting him live rent free in your head?

Stop deluding yourself. You know his behavior is immature, manipulative, and overall unacceptable. Yet you ponder and wonder because you have hope that things aren't as they seem and that the red flags you see aren't really there, and that things could work out between you.

Snap back to reality. Be real with yourself and us, don't waste your time and ours. We're not stupid here. Most of us (including you) know he isn't worth the time. So why the fuck does it matter to you or anyone to figure out why exactly he behaves a certain way?

Exactly. It doesn't. Move on.
