Why do *some* men...
Jump to: Newest in thread
Come creeping back after you've met, dated, been in a relationship, that hasn't worked out and you've had no contact, for weeks, months, years?
What are they hoping to achieve?
Do they think we've forgotten the reason they were banished?
Do they just want to relive/indulge in some nostalgia for that period of their life?
Anyone else have this experience?
One example I have is a man I met when we were teenagers, he has since married and had kids, moved to Scotland, yet occasionally would send a msg (now blocked). That was over a span of 30 years.
I am only speaking from my experience, with men.
Do women do the same thing? I never have done. |

"I will always hope she comes back
Just that one specific person? Even if she'd blocked you, never expressed an interest? I know there will be a lot of variables."
i said it wrong the other one says it best |

Yes. There's someone in my life who contacts me when yet another relationship fails. I usually get a 4-5 year absence, and like clockwork, she emails. |

"I get this often. They seem to have amnesia about how the relationship ended. All they remember is the sex and come back for more.
Dolts."
I like to think it's because I'm an awesome fuck.  |

I’ve had an ex contact me and try and reminisce about the good times. I struggled to remember these good times and ended up telling her to fuck off.
She seemed to forget being abusive and controlling and trying to cut me off from all my friends. |

I am still in contact with a few of my Ex's there is no getting back together but it nice to have a chat now and then. I can honestly say all but one is welcome anytime for a cuppa and chat.

"I think its cos you still care about that person or the memory of that person and like to know there safe i think "
If they really cared, why didn't they stay in touch properly as friends then? I don't think it's ever really about that. |

Women do it too
It’s called “shooting your shot”
Don’t ask, don’t get.
Gotta risk it for a biscuit |

Maybe if they offered a biscuit I might be more inclined to respond. |

Also I love these in depth posts about how it’s all about control and manipulation
It’s not (mostly)
It’s literally “I put my penis inside her before. I liked it. I wanna do it again. Let’s try” - usually after a few beers too
I know it’s comforting to think we’re all plotting and scheming. We aren’t. When horny we have the intelligence of a slug and the self control of a toddler |

"Agreed, I think it’s a control thing. They think they can swoop into your life as and when it suits them.
Your feelings matter not one jot, which I think makes it psychopathic behaviour..."
Yeah, it took me a long time to work out one of them had narcissistic traits, triangulating, love bombing etc. |

maybe they needed an element of closure on there end at that time as we have seen tho in the last few years the world is fluid |

I get that with people that I just maybe had some fun with, but exes where there was more to it? And it ended badly, or they're now married etc, just why?!

Exactly as I wrote. They just wanna fuck. It’s not some evil scheme. It’s much easier to contact a previous partner and hope to get lucky then to contact someone you don’t even know
It’s purely a lazy “faf” |

Thanks for explaining my experience to me.
Really appreciated. |

In my experience (twice) both women only did so because they heard I had my own place and was successful in my career. When I was with them I had neither and they had walked after a short time.
I just walked away from both after a brief chat. |

I’ve done this before - but it’s never with bad intent. Sometimes a nice memory will pop into my mind and I think “I better text that person to let them know I haven’t forgotten about them”.
I’ve never really considered that it might annoy someone. I always thought of it as being kind/friendly - you know, those people were once important in my life and I don’t want to seem like I have written them out of my life forever.
it’s interesting to see that others might read it differently. |

If they were to actually say that's the reason for the msg, it wouldn't be so bad! But that's rarely the case in my experience. |
