My ex boyfriend is completely ignoring me.

Asked by Styx (47) November 12th, 2013 from iPhone

I broke up with my on and off boyfriend of 2 years recently because of incompatiblity issues (I’m the anxious type who likes to be reassured and he’s the avoidant type and doesn’t have a romantic bone in his body) though I’d say the split was mutual as he agreed with the break up when I initiated it.

I’ve been trying to get in touch with him the last two weeks once every few days via text, email, calling. I know this is bad and I shouldn’t have done it but the more he ignores me, the more hopeless, worthless and upset I feel, so I keep texting him looking for that validation that I meant something, that he cares.

I feel completely destroyed inside. I can’t even explain it. Him ignoring me is the worst feeling I’ve ever had in my 25 years. I feel a horrible knot in my stomach and I can’t concentrate on anything.

I used to be a confident, strong woman. I have a good career, lots of friends and a wonderful family. But the way I’m feeling right now I’m starting to worry about my well being.

Just feel absolutely rotten.

I don’t deserve to be ignored. Im being calm in my attempts to contact him. I’m not shouting my mouth off or anything. I was a kind, loving, attentive, and loyal girlfriend. This hurts.
