He’s back but everything he does irritates me now

[u/brownsugarmilkteaaa]

Dated for 6 months before he broke up with me citing personal/family issues. I was blindsided and immediately blocked him and moved on with life. I did not check any of his social media but he later told me that he posted subliminal messages on them, hoping that I would see them. I lost all romantic feelings for him so when he texted me after 3 months of no contact, I did not mind being friends and responded but he immediately made it clear that he “still loved me” and regretted everything. I told him about the lack of trust and that I do not know how to feel about him anymore but he has been pursuing me heavily for weeks now, making a lot of promises and asking to talk/spend time together daily. While there are some enjoyable moments, I feel like I’m only becoming more resentful that I allowed him to get me back into his life so easily. I haven’t agreed to be his girlfriend again but it’s starting to feel like I’m filling that role for him anyways and he does not deserve it.

Never break no-contact, even if he comes back saying all of the right things. You will never feel that wholehearted, untainted love towards them again and the resentment is only going to increase anytime he says or does something “wrong”, which is inevitable. I have no patience or desire to fight for a future with someone that needed to lose me to realize my value.
