If your ex doesn't pay attention to you anymore after you left them does it bother you?

Let's say you dumped a guy. That guy then won't respond to your calls or anything.

How does it make you feel?

What if you two have kids together and he will only pick them up and take them back to you but won't talk to you except for when he is coming to get them and bring them back?

I would be completely fine with that.

You're kidding, right?

Unless I was friends with a girl before we dated or we had a lot of common friends, I would prefer to sever all ties. Never got the point of continued communication after a break-up.

It bothers me. I like to stay friends.

It hurts him to talk to you, he cannot handle it, he needs time.

I would be fine, glad he is hassling me. If I dump a guy it's easiest just to block his number/facebook and have no contact.

Getting dumped sucks. I would respect his need for space.

My longest girlfriend moved to Denver about a year after we broke up. I went through some hard stuff and she sent some short texts to show support, but other than that I'm the farthest thing from her mind. I think it's cool though; she's got a boyfriend now so I'm happy that she's happy and certain that if she's dating him he's at least an all right guy.

Basically, if you're not in a relationship, what do you want? You're not part of the other person's life for a reason. Let them be happy.

"Oh, did I say 'I love you'? What I meant was 'you mean nothing to me and I want nothing at all to do with you now that I'm not getting what I want out of our relationship. I was just using you as a [sexual release/emotional crutch/insert other/ delete all that do not apply]"
