Responding to the former saying “I miss you”
5 min readBreaking up is not easy, especially if your ex suddenly contacts you and says that he misses you very much, it may be more difficult for you to let go of the relationship. Before replying to him, you may wish to refer to the following response methods to see which one best expresses your true feelings. Use appropriate wording to let your ex know what you really think.
Method 1: Leave it alone.
If you don’t want to talk to him, you can just ignore it. If the relationship ends up unhappy or the other party cheated, it is best not to respond. If the other party keeps harassing you, you can block his mobile phone number.
If he texts you in the early morning, you can ignore it. If he only finds you in the middle of the night or when he is drunk, he probably doesn’t really miss you.
Method 2: “Sorry, I don’t feel anymore for you.”
Reject him tenderly. If you have let go or are trying to let go of the relationship, tell him clearly. Tenderly but firmly refuse the other person, tell him that he also needs to learn to let go of you.
Don’t be surprised if he doesn’t reply. He may feel hurt and needs some time alone.
If he replies to you and behaves very angry, it is best to block his mobile number.
Method 3: “You already have a new girlfriend.”
Remind him that he should put his mind on the other person now. Your ex-boyfriend’s obsession with you may make you flattered and satisfied with your superiority and vanity. However, if he already has a new girlfriend, it would be unfair for the girl to keep in touch with his ex. Tell your ex that you will not be disconnected from him who already has a new relationship.
The ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend may not know that the other party secretly contacted you. The ex-boyfriend’s behavior of deceiving each other is not authentic.
Method 4: “I already have a new boyfriend.”
Tell him that you have made a new boyfriend. It is dangerous to contact your ex-boyfriend with your current boyfriend on your back, and you can just ignore it. If your ex-boyfriend does not know that you have a new relationship, you can let him know so that he can stop contacting you.
If you and your new boyfriend are serious about getting married on the premise of getting married, you can let the other party know that your ex-boyfriend has sent you a text message to avoid a crisis of trust in the future.
Even if you don’t have a new relationship, you can use this excuse to stop your ex-boyfriend from contacting you.
Method 5: “You are just used to my existence.”
People often keep reminiscing about all the good times in a relationship. Remind your ex boyfriend why you broke up before. If he asks you what you mean, list all the unhappy parts of the relationship and explain why you two can’t continue the relationship.
For example, you can say: “Remember that our interests are just the opposite? We always mix with our friends and we don’t get along much at all.”
Method 6: “Then why did you break up with me?”
If the other party proposes to break up, let him explain why. If you have been unable to let go of this relationship, you can take the opportunity to ask the other person to explain. If the other party avoids talking about the behavior and reasons for breaking up before, you must ask him. If he seriously wants to get back with you, he should make everything clear without hesitation.
Method 7: Return a smiling face.
This yin and yang response will definitely startle him. If you think his text messages are funny, or if you can’t believe that he dared to say that he missed you after hurting you, then give him a smile. This way of replying is very hurtful, and he should be able to understand your suggestion. If he is smart enough, he should not reply to you again.
If he contacts you in the middle of the night or when he is drunk, this is a good way to respond.
Method 8: Change the topic.
Change the subject. If you talked for a while before, just continue to pretend nothing happened. If you suddenly receive a message from the other party, you can answer like this:
“Speaking of which, did you see my blue sweater? I can’t find it anywhere.”
“Yeah, I really miss your dog. How is it?”
Method 9: “I am doing well now, and I don’t miss you at all.”
Tell him you have let go of this relationship. This short and disrespectful reply should prevent him from continuing to harass you and re-examine his behavior. If he continues to contact you, you can block his mobile number to prevent him from contacting you.
Don’t let the other party’s sudden contact affect you. If you have gradually let go of this relationship, keep it going.
Method 10: “I miss you too.”
Only respond like this if you also want to get back together with the other party. Before replying, take the time to figure out why the relationship ended and the possible consequences after recombination. If you think you have a great chance of getting back together with your ex-boyfriend, then reply to what he really wants to hear.
If you receive a text message in the middle of the night or while the other party is drinking, this is not a good time to discuss the relationship between the two. If the other party contacts you at noon and really wants to have a good chat with you, then you can give him a chance.
Tips
Don’t rush to get back together with your ex-boyfriend. Think carefully and have a good chat with family and friends to make sure you make the right decision.
