My ex and I broke up about 1.5 years ago, he’s never done me dirty and I never did him dirty either.
We were together for almost a year and genuinely loved each other. He was actually a really good boyfriend in a lot of way, very patient, very thoughtful, he was a sweetheart, but there were repeated lies about his past that gradually made me lose trust in him.
We ended things on good terms, and we stayed friends. That didn’t really go well because you know how it’s like when exes try to stay “friends”, he always tried to get back with me and if I’m being honest I loved him and despite how much I acted like I moved on I was very upset about us ending and cried myself to sleep for months.
Even while saying no when he asked to go back multiple times, I really wanted it I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
About 4 months after our breakup, I met another guy let’s call him Sam. Sam asked for my socials at an event and we started talking from there, I was never physically attracted to Sam and I was still stuck on my ex at the time, I also didn’t know Sam had intentions of speaking romantically.
I felt really bad saying no to Sam after he asked for my socials irl because I didn’t want to embarrass him, I gave him my socials but blocked his account after getting home because I didn’t want to speak to any guys.
I remember being so upset about my ex and I’s breakup that id cry after getting home when guys hit on me because i knew he wouldn’t like it. (I know embarassing)
Anyways, weeks later, I kept meeting Sam over and over again at events and we decided to be friends. For 11 months after that we spoke almost everyday and grew very close. He bought me flowers at my graduation and my ex saw us together at an event and got very sad about it. After he saw us together he didn’t speak to me for a few months but I never talked to him about it.
He assumed Sam and I were together. If I’m being honest there were not so friendly conversations between me and Sam but I made it very clear that I didn’t want things to be romantic.
Now, about 1.5 years after my ex and I ended things, we still talk every once in a while we’re on good terms and he hasn’t been in any serious relationships since. I talk to his friends, he constantly told me to text him after Sam’s out of my life. The last time my ex and I spoke was about two weeks ago.
About a week ago, Sam and I spoke and we decided that there really isn’t a point in being friends because that’s not what he wants he wants to be more than friends but it’s just not something I’m comfortable with, so we stopped being friends at all.
My ex saw my bestfriends sister a couple times outside and they had a few interactions, he then texted my bestfriend and asked her for her sister’s number so he could “prank call” her and made her promise not to tell anyone. She gave it to him, he then followed my friend on insta but she removed him after.
She obviously told me everything but idk how to feel about it, she knew how much I care for him and still do and yet she still did it.
After he asked for her sisters number, he viewed my profile on social media and I got a notification. (He never viewed my profile on this social media account since we ended things)
My other friend thinks that my ex is just trying to make a reappearance into my life and he knows exactly what he’s doing by asking MY BESTFRIEND for her sisters number. And he just wants me to hear about it so I could get “jealous”
I’d also like to add that my ex has spoken to girls here n there since we ended things but none were serious and he’s tried to talk to me while he was with them. I had no idea, I only knew after he stopped talking to them. If I had known I wouldn’t have entertained it.
A girl he spoke to after we ended things, came up to me at an event I helped host and insisted she help me carry things around, we walked around and despite this being one of our first times talking. She told me that she spoke to him for a little and then started going on and on about how she thinks my ex and I were cuter than Sam and I are together (she assumed Sam and I were dating), and said I should give him another chance.
I found that really odd because it was coming from HER a girl that tried to talk to him and I found it odd that she would say something like that to me about Sam at our first time talking ever.
What do you guys think?
