At first I was gonna say I relate. I have never felt the same connection I felt with an ex from 7 years ago. However, he wasn't at all like this guy and we have had zero contact since. He has since dated girls who friends say are just "other me's" but life must go on.
That was all the past. I let it go and you need to let this go ASAP.
This guy is a real piece of work. Stop responding to him. Block him ALL ways he can contact you. This has to stop for you to be able to move on. He is not a good person.
He sounds like a narcissistic jerk - the question you should ask is why are you pining over someone like that?

You're lucky. Think about his poor wife. She has to put up with him all the time.
I wonder if he has a phone tree of exes and former coworkers that's he's calling on a regular basis, telling his wife, "honey, I'll be in the den calling people I used to know and telling them how awesome I am. I'll be done in an hour."
I know this is pathetic, really pathetic but it's been almost 20 years and I am still not over him. He was my first love who I found out later was dating someone else and is married with kids. Sometimes he calls to tell me how in love he is with his wife and his job is amazing. He calls from a private number and he called me once at work. He travels all over the world and it is so exotic. He also said that I will always remember him and never find anyone as good and I think he is right. I am just average and I am not the most eloquent speaker. I gone out with a few people for periods of time but it never goes anywhere. I think I am cursed. What's sad is he never really took me out on any real dates!!! He says he will meet me but never does and he says he will set me up but never has. I am just so depressed because it will never be anything and I don't see anything working out. I am really shy so it is difficult to meet people and now that I am over 40 it seems impossible!!
Why are you talking to him after 20 years when he is married? Move on!
I never got over my first love. Subsequently I literally searched the world over for two decades, found her, and now have spent 15 wonderful years in a wonderful renaissance.
OP, your situation is completely different. What kind of person calls you to tell you what you missed, and rubs it in your face? The Donald?
Get away from this jerk. This is a burden you don't need, and you are just feeding his insecurities...narcissism....and ego.
I don't understand how people can be hung up over ex's! Maybe it stems from childhood and issues with dependency?
Anyway, when a man ends a relationship, you know what I do? Move on! Don't look back. It doesn't mean I erase my feelings for them complete...I am not a computer! I remember I was madly in love with a guy! I really thought he was the one. He dumped me unceremoniously for another woman. Of course I was hurt...I cried like a little b****. I cut contact, months went by I felt better and more optimistic of my future. After many months he wanted a second chance. It was too late. Cutting all contact works because I had time to really evaluate the relationship and why it didn't work and how better I really felt about myself. You gotta get tough and get move...can't waste your life still hung up on a guy you dated 20 freakin' years ago! Christ Almight! Good luck to you.
