I don't get why that's a societal expectation. Assuming the breakup wasn't on bad terms (which it might have been in OP's case, I don't know), why do you have to block them on social media, delete their number, and all? What happened to, "things didn't work out between us, but I wish you the best, and I hope we can stay friends"? It's like decency and kindness are gone nowadays.

Obviously, this would not apply if there was a really negative reason for the breakup, like cheating or abuse.

For the record, I don't think this ex is crazy. Maybe she's lonely, maybe she misses you, or maybe she is just drunk or bored. Who knows? You can take a chance and respond, or just ignore it. There is nothing noteworthy about this whatsoever.
I disagree and this coming from someone who doesn't get attached to women that easily. If we break up I don't want to see you, hear from you, and don't want you around and these women will know this. If they continue to do so after I've told them to back off then yes I'll call them crazy and stalkerish for not respecting this. Point I'm trying to make is I don't want you (not in general you) move on.

This is a classic case of man bad, woman good. Even when the woman is wrong people still defend her. BTW, I'd say the same thing if a guy was harassing a woman. She's wrong period and needs to move on.

Just stop.

I totally understand why you broke up with her, it obviously was a good decision.


Exactly how many emails has she sent you since you told her no contact?

The simplest way to discontinue is put her on your email ignore list. Otherwise, own the fact that you seem to be enjoying this.

And, why humiliate her by posting these on here? Sure, she obviously still misses you on some level. But, it certainly doesn't look like it is an undying love or anything bizarre.
I placed her as spam after the two emails.

Well, yes. I think I’ve also never had some guy ghost me, though. Not sure how I’d respond to that.

I see why the OP broke up with her.

He used to have an alcohol problem, she drinks.

He was on the rebound from a divorce, she wasn’t.

Why dig through spam to look for her emails?

The OP has not responded or commented since first posting.......kinda verified my thought he was a troll just posting to get a reaction. I also questioned why "Aprill" would use her last name (or even her first name really......he would know/have her in his phone or recognize number)....is that a common thing to sign your whole name to text with someone you had an intimate relationship with??

It wasn't a text. It was an email. Email programs commonly list the sender's first and last names in the "From" field of emails. Not sure why you think these are texts - they're clearly emails.

Right - they're clearly emails just pulled up on a phone. Do people not read their emails on their phones? I mean, I know not everyone does, but most people with smartphones know what email looks like on a smartphone. Anyway, OP said these were emails the ex was sending him.
