So today would have been my ex and I's 5 year anniversary. I have mixed feelings over it: Sad because our dreams and plans we discussed will never come to life and happy because I wasn't 100% happy.

I wasn't going to call or text him. I was fine sitting in a bath when my phone rang. It was him. I took a deep breath and answered. I shouldn't have. He was so rude to me that I'm utterly speechless. The call lasted 24 seconds and he ended up hanging up on me. I mean why the F call me to be a Dyck on this day???

He said (in a tone of voice like I was some POS off the street. Not like we were friends for 10 years prior to our almost 5 year relationship) "Happy new year. I'm calling you two hours early because I'm going to blah's house and I'm turning my phone off. I don't want you calling me drunk and crying." I was like "um get over yourself and if I haven't called you yet drunk and crying, it ain't happening". He said "Whatever. You gave me shyt for sending you a text on christmas and not calling you so I'm calling you. Happy new year" and hung up..

I'm not upset over the fact of the date. I'm upset over the phone call. I mean if you can't be nice to me and have a 2 minute conversation then why bother?? He's fully aware my mothers lung cancer has returned in her other lung. Not to mention my father was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. He didn't even ask how they were doing or anything.

I don't even know who this person is anymore. He has no reason to speak to me in that manner. Our relationship ended peacefully. WTF??? Happy new year to me

Maybe just leave well alone. Don't answer his calls and don't call or text him. Move forward with your life. That's usually the best revenge.

We haven't spoken on the phone in weeks. I unfortunately have to contact him as there are loose ties and there is still some very expensive items of mine in our house. I have moved forward. I'm not sitting here holding my breath or anything. I just didn't expect or appreciate this phone call..

Always, always find out where he is living any number of years from now, his address or PO Box.

You may need this info to send any number of thank-you cards to him after you find another better person in your life.

I lost sight of a psychopath I had for a roommate in Phoenix who all but forced me to sell my house and move to Las Vegas 13 years ago.

Now, in retrospect, I owe this man not only countless thank-you cards but any number of gifts as well. If I could only find his current address.

I'm sorry you've had this hurtful thing happen. . .I'm sure you're wishing now you hadn't answered. Isn't it amazing when somehow we don't trust our first & instant impression of what to do?

He's doing it to feed his ego...

Although I have no idea of your history and if him being mean was completely out of line or if he was upset over something you did in the past...

He sounds very bitter and petty. His call was a childish and ultimately selfish act (perhaps influenced by a significant dose of booze?). Expecting such a guy to express concern about your parents seems unrealistic given how inconsiderate he sounds.

Himain, your posts here at CD suggest to me that you're a smart, level headed gal with your head on straight. Move on from him...you don't need to deal with jerks like that.

Is that part true? More to the story? Did it bother you that he did not call on Christmas just texted? Seems you have mixed feelings? Anyway Happy New Year!

Sounds very juvenile.

Concentrate on caring for your sick parents in a mature and selfless manner-rather than concentrating on this cad.

Oh, and whatever you do, DO NOT stoop again to his juvenile level with silly phone calls, etc.!

It's time for adults to start acting like adults!
