View Full Version : Why does my ex ask if I'm okay? How should I respond?

About a month ago, my boyfriend told me his feelings for me were "complicated." He was married for 20 years, and his wife cheated on him. He hasn't had a real relationship in the 15 years he's been divorced. He said the idea of a relationship "scares the hell out of me."

He sent me a message two weeks ago, saying he felt bad about the situation and was sorry. I asked him what he was sorry about, and he said he didn't want to change anything; he just felt bad.

Lately, he's been commenting a lot on my Facebook statuses. I've pretty much been ignoring him, and I've been dating someone new, although I still have feelings for him.

Earlier this week, I got a bogus e-mail from his account with what might be a viral link. I sent him a message and told him he needed to change his password. He replied, saying he was sorry. He asked if I was doing OK.

Why does he keep interacting with me? How should I respond? Should I respond?

Of course you should respond. Can't you be cordial with him?

Yes, I can be cordial, but I still have feelings for him.

Give yourself time and your feelings will disappear with time... u said you are dating someone new... try to spend more time with him to know him better... and just don't reply to him as tickle said... it will be the best thing... u will do to yourself...
