1. For about a week, I heard nothing from him.

Previously, I got very nervous if he didn`t text or call because I wanted to talk, so I texted first. But without my efforts, he didn`t text for a whole week. That showed me how low I was on his priority list.

2. He asked why I wasn`t calling or texting.

Maybe because he`s a complete idiot who`s just wasting my time? Strangely, only when I stopped trying did he realize something was missing in his life.

3. He likes being chased.

I didn`t think about it before, but I was chasing him. I couldn`t even last two days without texting him. So he didn`t have to lift a finger, and I was at his disposal. He didn`t need anything more.

4. I was the queen of pathetic texts.

When I reread our previous conversations, I even started shaking. I was the queen of questions like ”How are you?”, ”What are you doing?” and so on. I looked horribly desperate, constantly trying to prolong the conversation, even when he had already said goodbye.

5. I decided to give him what he gave me and no more.

It was hard, but I decided to talk to him only when he initiated the conversation. I also started communicating just like him. For example, he never said he wanted to meet, so I stopped too. I stopped using all the ”smilies” that he didn`t use, and I wrote one-word answers, like him. That showed how little he gave me and I accepted.

6. He enjoyed it while I ran around him.

I tried so hard to keep the conversation going, but only me. He was just going with the flow. He noticed I wasn`t there when I ”cut the ties”, but it took him 7 days to reach out, which meant he definitely wasn`t suffering all that time. He just didn`t care.

7. I stopped responding to his messages.

Even when he texted me. It was very hard. Especially when he sent really nice messages, I deliberately left my phone at home so I wouldn`t give in to the temptation to reply.

8. He visibly started to worry.

He not only started texting me, but even called a couple of times, which I ignored. He started wanting me around only when he realized he was starting to lose me.

9. I believed his lies.

I thought he would learn something from this whole situation and become better, that he would realize how much he liked me and start trying. But the sad truth is that people like that don`t change.

10. The cycle repeats.

I started texting him again, and he showed me attention for a couple more days. But then everything went back to how it was before. He didn`t respond to my messages again and didn`t initiate texting himself. I was angrier at myself than at him.

11. I broke up with him forever.

I went back to the original plan and this time forgot about him for good. I focused on my own life, realizing that I deserve much more.
