RUKKY
I started seeing a mutual friend i met on a dating app. I broke up with him because he wasn’t sensitive, he doesn’t know how to communicate. He gives silent treatment and passive aggressive. He doesn’t cook when come over for the night. He likes to know who I am talking to but doesn’t like me snooping. I left him because I saw the red flags. He apologized and begged and said he will fix things after he had lied and exaggerated things and made up stories about why we broke up to out mutual friend. He doesn’t like to take accountability or listen to understand when I explain how is actions affect me. He sees is as me nagging or being troublesome.
I forgave him after 6months.he treated me like a queen for 3 days and.he reverted gradually back to his old ways. He booked flight to a vacation without telling me after his actions made him stop communicating with me when I told him, he is acting a type of way. I begged him to call me when he.got to his vacation place. I woke up early to check on him and wished him a.safe flight before he travelling. He didn’t updated me before boarding but he was steady updating his SM. He post sexual stuffs on his SM and he.claims it gives him engagement and I am trying to control his life by telling him to post mature impact full things in his SM. He deliberately didn’t leave his house keys for me to spend nights at his place while he is out on days I will be working around his area as I live very far from work. He didn’t pick my calls and hasn’t called me days into his trip because he is offended I was told him i was hurt he made me drive to meet no keys he didnt pick my calls or mesages while i was outside trying to tell him i coukdnt find the keys- But he updates his SM everyday. He will want to come back and call me randomly after his trip as if everything is fine like he always does and won’t bring it up. If I do he will either gaslight me or ghost or or both. I am tired and want to quietly and silently break up.Eric Charles
KeymasterHey Rukky,
The key to breaking up with him is that you stop participating in it. That’s it. This dynamic has only continued because you’ve continued to participate. The moment you stop participating, it’s over.
It’s that simple.
Unless… it’s not, for you.
I’m sure when I say that, thoughts and feelings come up for you about simply not participating further. What are those thoughts and feelings?
You don’t have to answer here, but you should explore this in a journal.
Get clear on what’s going on inside you that’s kept you participating as long as you have even though you saw the red flags (as you said yourself).
Get clarity on all of that, and the way forward will become crystal clear to you.
The pattern you describe is consistent – he reverts to behavior that doesn’t work for you, you express your feelings, then he either ghosts, dismisses your perspective, or both. Then the cycle repeats.
Breaking a cycle requires one person to stop playing their part. In this case, that’s you.
