This has happened to me before and I'm pretty sure it has happened to some of you on here. I am am curious, why is it when you two were a couple and they call and they don't get ahold of you, they have no problem leaving a message, but if you two are not together anymore the ex calls but doesn't leave a message?
Example: My niece got dumped a couple of months ago. She has been calling and texting him nonstop in spurts since then begging him to give them another chance. I have advised her to back off bugging him, but she went against my advice, yet she CAME TO ME FOR ADVICE!! What kind of sh** is that? lol Anyways, He has already told her that things will take time before they get back to how things were and that she is just going to have to be patient. She gave up calling him and texting him because she started to feel like a desperate and pathetic person. Since then he texted her, which she didn't respond to and he called her, but didn't leave a message. What's that about? I never understood that.
Just emotional BS that people deal with after a break up. When most people seek "relationship advice" they are usually ranting or just looking for validation. That was more than likely the case for your niece.

The real question though was why would an ex call and not leave a message?
You were not a part of their relationship, and so why do you need to know?
Do you intend on calling him about this and asking him why he is doing this?
No, I just was always curious why folks do it. It's happened to me before as well, as I have stated in my thread. I'm not part of their relationship, but she asks me for advice as once again, I stated in my thread.
The real question is why does it really matter? Perhaps they did not want to talk to a machine.
Why do they talk to machines when they were once in a relationship? I don't see any difference between if you're a couple or not. If you call someone and don't get them, you still likely will get their voicemail.

The most likely reason is the ex was bored, curious how you were getting along without him/her and decided to call, but when you weren't there, decided, "Meh, that was a dumb idea anyway."
Another very common reason for this sort of thing, and not to be gross or base, is a post-breakup booty call. You weren't around, he hung up and took care of business himself instead.
Exes get sentimental and curious (you probably have too)...I think that's natural.
