He Feels the Need to Write You an Essay Through Social Media or Email to Explain His Past Choices

It’s one thing to tell someone you regret a past choice or past treatment of them, but it’s another to sit down and spend a good minute trying to get someone to understand your side in essay form. How many times have you received a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG Facebook message or email from an ex hoping to break down where he went wrong and doing so in the hopes that all will be forgiven? While he might get all mushy and have your feelings thrown for a loop as he talks about only “wanting you to be happy,” how he now regrets hurting “the best thing that ever happened to him,” and how he’s changed, you need to really remind yourself if what you had to put up with in your relationship and even right afterwards is something you want to possibly deal with in the future. If not, say thanks, but let him know you’ve moved on and can only be cordial–if you even want to be all that.
