I was informed that my ex-partner misses and talks about me every now and then. He even dreamed of me, I heard. WoW! What was that? What's with him this time? He even started communicating with me and really he's acting like there's nothing happened between us. he even wanted me to go back and be with him, which is really an impossible thing. I am not that idiot to respond to him whenever he wanted to. After all, he's a jerk and will always be one. Well, with such news from his best friend, I am not really moved, honestly. I really don't care if he misses me, or talks about me, wants me back or anything - I'm not interested. i have had enough of him. And that's it.

Well, If I were in your shoe, I may feel the same way too most especially when our break up wasn't that good and he was just fooled me before. Once is enough for him to do that jerk thing. I will not be interested with him anymore and I will thank him as he will be my eye opener for not allowing any other guy to fool me again.

I'd be flattered if I find out that my ex misses me. But of course, I would not make it as a reason to get back to him.

Hi. Ex means past i.e. a closed chapter. It should hardly matters to you whether he misses you or could make do without you. There is no point thinking about a closed chapter, as if he does not exist for you.

Depends. If you mean ex boyfriend, then no it means nothing, and you should ignore it. You were never more than a girl friend, and that's all you are to him now. If you mean ex-husband, then it depends on if you want to have a real family, and have a real marriage. In my faith, a woman who leaves her husband, is ordered to remain single or seek to reconcile the relationship. Those women who do, often have the best marriages, far better than any couple who never went through the separation. Often the greatest pain can yield the greatest love and romance. But back to you. If you have no intention of reconciling, for whatever reason, then I would advise you to stop talking to this man, especially if you slept with him. If you have slept with him, I can promise you without any doubt, that he will continue to pursue you, and probing you, until he can get back into your pants. And here is what you don't want to hear. If you keep talking to him, you will cave. And then after you bounce around, you'll hate yourself more than ever, and hate him more than ever, and worse you will have a harder time ever trusting a man again, because every man will remind you of what you did with him. Don't do that. End all communication. ALL. Don't talk to this guy, unless you want to reconcile your marriage. If you were not married, then just get away from him. That relationship is poisoned beyond fixing. The only possible outcome is pain and hatred of yourself. Get away from him. Shut down ALL contact.

Well, you don't seem happy about that at all. Relationships always end for a reason, and even if with time our memories become kind of distorted, and we only tend to select the good or the bad things in them, I think that is important to move on in life. If he misses you, that means you were a very important person in his life, and he realizes now what he lost, but a relationship can't work if only one person is interested. Move on and be happy with your life the way it is now :)

Sometimes you have to insist that you know where the relationship is going... one cannot wait forever. And if he is a jerk and wastes your time, why go on with it? It is your curiosity?

I once heard that it takes a man longer to get over a woman, than it takes for a man to get over a man. I don't know if this is true or not. I used to think I would love it if my ex wanted to see me, talk to me, or missed me. Now I think it would just confuse me more. Honestly it is easier to get over him if I don't hear from him, which I never do. So it is a lot easier to move on without him. It was very hard at first. I think you should be clear with your intentions and he will get the picture. I think that they will be able to move on and stop bothering you as well.

Hi, Your ex missing you is not necessarily a good thing. I am glad you realize that you don't need to be in a relationship in order to be happy. Neither do I. My BFF is in a horrible marriage. Her experience makes me fearful of marriage and thankful that I'm single.

It is so easy to be impress and flattered if our ex misses us. This makes us feel that there is something special about us that he truly misses. The real question to ask is are you still in love with him? If not just forget about him especially since you mentioned that he is a jerk.

hi nhail! I think he just missed you or the things you do when you are together, boys are like that tend to be sweet sometimes, maybe he's not already moved on that's why he is always contact. you can make friends to him but i know you are intelligent to not to have a relationship with him as you said what happened to both of you before.

I'd feel flattered if I meant that much to an ex still. It means you left a deep impression. It's okay to not be interested even if he feels for you still. If things weren't good in the relationship, there is a chance he didn't change. There's a possibility he did but maybe not.

It's a compliment. Because it means you were a good girlfriend that's why he wants you back. You are the good part of that relationship. You can use as a measurement on being a good girlfriend, I guess... But you mentioned him being a jerk. There. No need to feel happy or angry, just ignore. I felt happy, it's fine. Just don't let him know it because he might be a bubble head and might use it against you instead. Good luck girl ;)

It sounds like your just loving the attention. If you really didn't care that he missed you than you wouldn't have written this post, its that simple.

I think it's okay to feel good when an ex says he misses you. Feeling good and going back to the jerk are two different things. I say "enjoy the feeling" hehehe and let it stay that way. Sometimes they think that because they are now sweet and tell us words that touch the heart, they could have whatever they want. Go girl, teach this guy that he can't have everything he wants in life. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I guess he realize he was a big jerk of letting you go, just let it be, inform him you need time and don't want him to be around . People do make mistakes and so we must forgive them but still we need to face the consequences of this actions.

We always miss what we can no longer have. Feel good about him missing you -- you are obviously on his mind which can only mean he realized he's made a mistake.

Your right the final decision is yours if you are not married before, maybe he misses you for lust or any material things, connections if not companionship. But on this world nothing is impossible you brought this into a discussion for you to solicit opinion for actually you are not sure of yourself. I remind you, you are born free don't be a slave to a person who is just good on words not on deeds for he will always be and it will always the same as before and the second time will be grossly disadvantageous to you.

Hi nhailojaye! Trying to win back somebody when everything is over is an indication that he has been sorry for what happened between the two of you. hearing those updates from a friend is something that could make you feel good; but it's also wise to be on alert because you might fall again for something which you already called "jerk". You can just continue moving on with your life and prove to him that you are a somebody whom he never regarded as important as he should have regarded you back then. :)
