Since I put my foot down and decided "no more," exes have been popping up left and right trying to reconnect. It's not like I advertised it - I just decided I was done and completely removed my energtic investment into ALL men. I'm not on social media either, so it's not like I have guys following me who are picking up on my day to day cues.
Well, that was a month ago and it has been WILD. Everyone from ex boyfriends Ive had no contact with for 15 years, to guys at work, to my shithead brother are freaking the fuck out.
A friend warned me this would happen. "They can sense that you've cut off your energetic supply and they can no longer siphon from you." I'm not sure about this, but it does strike me as very interesting that they're suddenly all trying to reconnect and / or escalating now that I've made this major shift.
The latest one was my longtime on again / off again ex (a serious relationship with an extremely abusive hot and cold man), who reached out with an email asking to reconnect after more than a year of no contact. He signed it "with love." LMAO. Love? This man ghosted me after my mother died.
I deleted his email. Bye.
They can all rot in their own choices.
