My phone just rang and it was my ex's number. Since I answer all calls I get at 1:30 (if anyone's calling me then it better be an emergency!), I picked it up. All I heard was what sounded like him talking to his dog. I hung up and tried calling him back and sent him a text (I know I probably shouldn't have, but I was pissed) but of course he didn't answer. He obviously didn't mean to call me.
The only way he would have done it accidentally is if he still has my number in his phone. WHY??? He's the one who broke it off six months ago and was a jerk who acted like I don't even exist. I kicked him out of my phone book that night.
This was a BAD night for him to do this. I was feeling all down in the dumps about life and what he put me through, and yes, I cried myself to sleep (I'm not proud, but there it is). Now I won't be able to sleep and my alarm will go off in four hours.
Depending on how long the relationship was, a person might not be completely over it after 6 months. Also, she said he broke it off with her and acted like she didn't even exist which sounds like she got no closure. I know for me personally, it is a lot harder to get over a situation when there's no closure. He sounds like a jerk.
It's entirely possible to resume normalcy after a very devastating breakup and then see the person one day at a store or gets an accidental call like this poster did and those feelings of hurt resurface and you relive that hurt all over again.
Sorry OP. That must have really sucked but if the guy was a jerk, good riddance.
I'm so sorry he called you in the middle of the night and that it triggered unpleasant memories and thoughts that kept you from sleeping. Life really stinks sometimes. I'm hoping that in the light of day things will look better to you. Break ups are tough.
If what you heard was just "background noise", then very likely he dialed your # by accident. I know my dh has done that to me, and I've done that to him, if our phones got pressed on/sat on etc. He probably didn't intentionally call you.
You can probably block his # if you want to, but you may not want to, in case there is ever an emergency, or some reason that you need to contact each other. Unfortunately, there will be many things that re-open the wounds for you, but it does get easier with time. If you have some friends and family to lean on, that will help.
Call him up and ask him to please delete your nbr because the incident in the middle of the night really hurt you. He will know you still care and if he still cares, you can talk about it. If he deletes your nbr, you will have closure when you don't hear from him?
