Hi Myloters once again I turn to you for a little advice. That same guy from all my other posts he and I had a rough few months, decided to be friends. I realized as much as I love him I'd rather have him as my best friend then nothing. He said there would never be another chance at us, and I accepted and moved on, no reason crying over spilled milk. So I started seeing other guys, online and real life. Yesterday my ex was talking to me and I was also talking to one of the guys I been seeing. I stupidly and totally accidentially wrong chatted some very dirty talk, to my ex instead of the one it was intended for. My ex freaked out at me, he demanded to know who I was talking to, said I promised I only did those things with him, and that he couldn't trust me now. I decided to tell my ex it was none of his business whom I was talking to, that he left me therefore I am now single, and can talk to who I like how I like. He responded with I g2g bed...cya and he logged. I don't get his reaction to all of this, did he really think I would sit around hopeless waiting forever for him to give me another chance when he has made it perfectly clear there would never be one? Any idea of why he would act like this and or what it could mean?

I really think that it is just a misunderstanding for the lack of propper communications... What if both of you talk together personally and let everything be clear out rather than leaving a question hugging. Be very frank and honest to him and also ask what he really think of your relationship so when he decided not to go on with it then atleast both of you are cleared with the situation so he won't be being jealous of what you will be doing after that. But if he really feels that you could work out together just for some reasons then try to work out your relationship then.

I think he is not totally over with you. Maybe what he needs is just time and space. He got jealous knowing that your are getting along with others now... maybe he thought that you will wait for him until he gets ready. That is what he is from you. You just hit his ego. I guess he thought that it will take time for you to replace him. He just didn't expect that it is going to be sudden. Maybe you should talk to him and ask him what is really the real score... Where are you heading... If he still said that it is all over, then tell him that he should not get jealous anymore for you have your own life now. This is what he wants.

Wow I just got back to this now thank all of you for all your responses, normally I would reply to each one but my back is killing me, anyway, heres the total update on this I think all of you are right, little bits he is a very complicated young guy who hasnt ever had a "real" relationship and I always believed hes just scared of what hes feeling: I waited a few days and he brought it up over the following weekend. He asked me why I believed it was jealousy. I replied to him briefly with lol just the reaction you gave off resembled jealousy. but wth was up with that neway? He replied it shocked him, that he didn't expect me to move on so fast(its been three months 26th of Oct.) And he was a little "Confused" about it. He continued to talk to me that weekend, for like 16 hours in total over the three day period.(He never talks to me that much on msn even when we were together) as hes usually playing the MMORPG game we met on that I quit after the break up, and he hasnt bothered much with on the weekend since I quit. So then I don't hear much from him all the following week, and I act like its no big deal. The following weekend he returns once more, talk to me till late night saturday night, disapearing all day sunday, from sleep and reappearin the early hours monday morning which I just so happened to be on because my son had awoken in the middle of the night. Well now on this MMORPG game, we always had a inside joke that he believed one of the npcs had been trying to get with me, he conviently brings this up says he munipuated the graphics to turn it into something ugly so his "next gf" wont run off on him. I took this as him trying feebly to make me jealous, so I didn't play into his game, I loled and said careful hamsters are cute, he then informed me he changed it again to a fish. so now another thing about "us" was that when we would argue or I was annoyed with him I would say "fine what ever." A little while later he gives me this big speech that all weekend he seen 40 different girls and not one matched his standards of "whateverness", so again I acted like I hadn't caught on to what he was talking about, and replied awww better luck next time...all he returned with was O.o night? Which brings me to the last event before his week long silence. sunday night he began sending me videos from youtube(this is normal for him but its usually stuff he likes) this time however he starts sending me oldies he likes, oldies which are kinda like "confused love songs, and songs about having stuff losing it trying to replace it etc. (saying things like, idk why but this gets to me lately, I been listening to this alot etc) So Now I'm in total confusion, hes so silent during the week but opens up alot on the weekend. I know hes stuborn, and all our friends tell me hes denying how he truly feels because its scarying the hell out of him esspecially with all our problems that would need alot of work. He drinks on the weekends I know this, and am wondering if he is speaking his mind more on the weekend, as many do express their true feelings when drinking =/ and possibly I should try to ask questions at these times possibly when he seems more open to talk about it. Thing is I did identify the problem, he would keep something he didnt like to himself, I would feel something wrong I would try to get to the answers, he would get annoyed thinking he didnt do nething I shouldnt be upset deciding I just was type of person who did these things on purpose, as I decided he was just playing games I would get further angry with him start questioning him about it, he felt it was accusing him, and thus we ended up splitting up, but he claimed he dropped hints I didnt get, so i'm wondering if hes dropping hints not wanting to, or to proud to say i was wrong, i miss you i want you back =/

Thank you and it is coming and going still =(. As far as the troubles are going, I think some progression was made last night. We talked for hours, once again it had started in an agruement, which turned into talking about the problems we had. He didn't say much, letting me talk mostly and adding things here and there. When I never heard from him for 15 minutes I thought hed just stopped listening to what it was I was saying, my reasonings for acting the way he thought was who I truly was. I did my best to finally explain to him, that yes I was in the wrong, though so was he and explained how certain things he neglected to do, made me feel and how those feelings turned me into a emotional wreck. However I was surprised when I had recieved a reply reading: ...I'm sorry I had no idea, I'm not much of a talker, I perfer just goofing off and acting a fool..I guess I never made that clear enough, but I did listen to you, even when I did not respond. After he made that comment it was almost as if, the last few months had never happened. We started playing online games together for a few more hours even though we were both tired, we were joking around, and actually even flirting with each other a bit. It was odd, but it also gave me back that feeling, I always had with him and him with me. The reason Nicklebacks song "Too Bad" seems to fit us, ironically. The feeling that no matter what ever happens, what is ever said between us, things always manage to work themselves out in time, and we always end up, back in place, like nothing happened. Its kind of like, We need the other to show us our errors and help us get through em, to make us better ppl.

Hi indiandevil! It is nice to hear form you again. I hope your back pain is completely gone by now. As you said, your man talks a lot and is more open when drunk... so I think you better take that chances. Ask all the questions running in your head... Better record your conversation with him so that he could not deny it the following day!

Well I guess let him decide what he wants. You deserve to move on with your life and if he hasn't then it is his fault. His reaction is just pretty normal for a man to realize that he is a bit jealous about things. If he cannot take it then its his loss and you should not be affected by it unless you yourself have feelings for him too. It is really hard to be friends with exes because you cannot deny the intimate feelings that you felt for each other will be there no matter how you say you are over it. Sometimes those feelings will linger on if you remain in contact constantly. So to be sure both of you are really over each other then you should try maybe stopping in contact with each other and evaluate how you both feel without the communication.

hello indiandevil, he acted that way maybe because he still loves you. that he got hurt when he saw you with someone else. maybe he doesn't like to let you go anyway. the fact that he made clear to you that there will be no other chance was a total denial in his part. maybe you need to talk to him to clear the matter. that matter you can have peace of mind and can move on with all your heart. is the best for both of you.

Honestly it sounds like one of those, I dont really want you in that way but noone else can have you either. They irritate the crap out of me! My daughters ex is like this. He played around while married, they break up and he is allowed to get married right away but she is suppose to sit and pine for him. The way I see it is ohhh well and I wouldnt even worry about it.

indiandevil, I do not think you need to give a second thought about the accidental slip of the tongue. Hey, you can even tell him straight off that the slip up was not even meant for him and he can just reformat his recording there. You have already moved on and really need to get a hold of yourself. A new lease of life awaits you so go right ahead. You need not think any further and I wish you the best with your new relationship and lease of life. Take care.

I have also known alot of guys to react like this in many of situations. They cant commit but yet they dont want you to move on. I think you have no reason to feel bad over the sip and you dont need to explain your actions to the ex. He now knows your not sitting around waiting for him and for good reason. Life is to short take every day as a gift and enjoy it.

I think the accidental wrong chatting was providence. It happened, oh well, move on. He probably got jealous because he does think that you will never find another one to replace him, that what the two of you did would never happen with anyone else. It's all ego. You may lose him as a friend, but that's still better than having to watch what you say. Do you feel that you could confide in him? Probably not. So what kind of friend is he? A friend to go have a drink with or lunch but not to really talk about your problems? You have moved on. If he is your friend, then fine. If he's not, then fine.

Hmm ... I m not so good at relationships but all I can say is that he still thinks about you. See, this is how it goes: You accidently wrong shatted with some dirty talk, to your ex instead of the one it was actually intended for. And your ex started asking you about the other guy. Lets say if I was your ex, it would not bother me until and unless I think about you or I care for you. His reaction seems clear, either frustrated or jealous. Ok, and thats completely my opinion!!! .... as I said earlier I m errr... not so good at relationships.
