I can't really call him an ex, as we dated only 3 months three years ago, so it was not an important relationship to me. I am in a stable relationship now, happy, very happy. So this ex messages me on Facebook about a week ago. Bit of a backstory: he left me very coldly for a woman he never even met that he met on Instagram. She is a model or was. I knew it was a mistake, I told him that this was not love it was infatuation. He didn't listen to me. He lived with her almost 2 years, but she was controlling, domineering, and possessive (he told me this when we were chatting). Honestly, I did gloat . He claims I am his soulmate. He wishes to meet me. But what is the point? What bothers me is that he doesn't seem to care if I am in a relationship. I don't trust him one bit. I don't want to be mean to him, but now I think being mean may knock some sense into him.

At times I fantasize telling him 'look, you missed your chance! You left me coldly for someone you never met. I am happy with my partner and I would never return to you even if you were the last man on earth.' Okay, but I don't want to say that. I think I should just ignore him and never reply to him again. Does he have a big view of himself? I mean, wouldn't you be embarrassed to show your face or message someone you hurt? Has this ever happened to you?

People change
Realize they made mistakes

They also cling to the past instead of moving on

None of us could possibly say what is going on with this dude

I do believe people change. I've seen it many times.
I just feel indifferent towards him. There is no resentment, bitterness, nothing!

You feel indifference for him, yet you're making a thread about it and gloated when he came "running back" to you?

You write....."it was not an important relationship to me."

And then go on and on and on about I felt this, I felt that, etc. You are in one big swivet about this guy for someone "in a stable relationship now, happy, very happy."

When I said I am indifferent I mean I have no love feelings, nothing. I am not interested.
You guys sure are judgmental.

Oh yes it has. I hate that. They do something cruel to you, get what is coming to them, then want you to feel sorry for them. That is all it is. He was punched down and now feels defeated and looking for an ego boost by getting you to be interested again. He doesn't give one hoot about you, this is his ego talking. He's poison. Ignore.

They say happiness is the best revenge. Tell him you're happy with your current partner and wish him well. The End.
