I'm almost at the point where I can laugh at him now!!

....he contacts me last weekend telling me that he needs my friendship as he thinks he's becoming an alcoholic because of his stress. I tell him I'm here to TALK anytime, I AM his friend. All week long he texts me how grateful he is that I will still be there for him....then the kicker comes...."Lets get together and hang out, No strings attached."frustrated

So I sayssss....We need to talk about a lot of things first before I agree to see you again. Guess what??? He hasn't contacted me again since Thursday.

noway Not playn his game no more!!!

Ouch. The behavior of an ex can be bizarre and manipulative, for sure! Hang in there. . .eventually the emotional roller-coaster will level out, the pain will subside, and you will establish a new "normal" in your life. Sounds like you're handling this situation with dignity and self-respect, and I'm proud of you for that!

yep,the old "I'll drink myself to death and no one can help me-Trick"!
He will only drag you down along with him!
He needs to resolve the problems he's got!
He only sees an Enabler in you!
Don't let him!

You are right Conrad. He has a lot of issues and I am sick of being the doormat.

OK now....

Last weekend the last text was that he was watching a movie all alone (one we watched together in the past). I responded with.."that was your choice". No response.

No contact all week until last night. Then I get a text how miserable he is and if he had a gun, he would tell me goodbye. Blah blah blah, I think the man needs counseling. Seriously.

Of course he was drunk & lonely and feeling regretful . Last step here is to block him off my phone. I don't want to change my number though. I just want to be done and move on.

Needless to say I have been awake half the night worrying about him but I know his game now :cry:
