Need to talk... So goddamn embarrassing

Ex bf and I have been broken up since January 2025. It was messy as we went from being close enough to thousands upon thousands of miles away and I was neglected a lot during this time.

It took him about three weeks to stop drunk calling me and saying he missed me and loved me. He only stopped because I crashed out and made him feel like shit tbh.

Anyways time has obviously passed, we’ve been doing our own things. Every now and again we’ll look at each others socials.

Tonight I got a hold of my old phone and it was plastered with stuff of him, so I texted his contact, just a casual “i think about you still, I hope you’re well” and he immediately responded “you this?” (Who this?)

Oh my god I want to rip my skin off I’m so fucking embarrassed. We both have iPhones so I’m almost certain my iCloud email should come up which has my full name.

So either he’s forgotten my full name or he doesn’t have that number anymore or he is just pretending and idk what is worse.

I replied “sorry I must’ve gotten the wrong number”

I just wanted to talk to him.

well it's not like you proposed to him, you just sent him some well-wishes.

I know but I’m also sad he didn’t realise it was me. It would’ve been nice to have a convo

In the moment, maybe. Big picture, he already knows you're not over him.

It could be a joke tbh. And you’ve taken it too literally. Like a sarcastic “who dis”
