Default Why do they make contact only to vanish

My ex whom I almost have a divorce finalized with contacted me about a week ago. We have been talking about every other day for a few minutes, and she had mentioned wanting to get back together.

She has a boyfriend now, but apparenlty that is not going so well.

I really havent been calling her, I figure if she wants to talk she will call me.

Well last night I felt like calling her, and she didn't answer. I called again around lunch today and she didn't answer.

I'm guessing I should just wait and see if she calls, but why does she try to make contact only to ignore my phone calls later?

I know she was not busy, she has no job right now, and the only possible explaination is that she was with her boyfriend.

I did tell her that I was not going to attempt a reconcilation behind someone's back, if she wanted to get back together she was going to have ditch the new guy before we even seriously chat about it.

Anyway, anyone else experienced this problem?

I'm wondering if I should try to call her in a few days, or just not worry about it.

THanks

I can understand your grief.

Yanks your chain a bit no doubt!

Best you can do is blow it off. You told her how you would proceed if she wanted to reconcile. Maybe that's all she wanted to know that you would try which is why she has not disappeared again.

However, give her time to respond a couple of days.

If she doesn't then realize she got what she wanted and is pulling away again. Pick yourself up and dust off and go back to taking care of you.

I know how much this hurts hang in there!

If there's any possible chance of reconciliation, and it's something you really want, then give her time and put the brakes on the legal actions. Divorce is serious stuff.

Shes had almost 7 months. She is the one who wanted me to file 3 months ago because she is now dating someone.

I was actually in a fabulous mood until this, and even a good mood while talking to her, but not sure about now.

I did send her a text message saying that I wish she would not contactm e only to vanish again, so opps.

Anyway, just wait and see what happens I guess.

I was just about to post something like this. My boyfriend called last night after we hadn't spoken in 2 weeks. We had a great conversation and talked about maybe getting together tonight. He said he would call or text me to let me know if he finished work in time. Haven't heard a word. I texted and no response. I know there is still time but this isn't the first time this has happened. WHY do they think they can do this?

So do you think I should call her tonight or just wait and see if she contacts me? Or call her in a few days?

Thanks!

It depends on your goal. If you want her back, and she was the one who left you, then you should let her come to you. Don't chase her. Calling her may be construed as you doing just that and it will back her off.

If you want to catch a fish, you be patient and dangle the hook until they bite. You don't dive into the ocean because they will get scared and swim away.

I just made that up.

She is being so unfair to you. And selfish too. You start to heal, then she shows interest in possibly reconciling and brings you back down again. Since you hope to reconcile, you go along with it. There's nothing you can do unless/until you put an end to it, but of course you don't want to do that while you think there is a chance of success with her.

Unfortunately, it sounds like she's just keeping you around as plan B. Just ignore her for a while until she decides to get serious and quits being a flake!

I think it's usually just to make sure you are still there. I think a lot of exes find comfort in just knowing you will respond to them. That would hurt my pride, personally.
