my bf just broke up with me and then he mentioned that he wanted to call me in like a few days. He broke up with me for a variety of reasons but some of them were because of the drama our fights packed. i said ok to be polite but im trying to figure out what would be the point as he knows i dont believe in friends with exes.

Welcome to the board nickia2006,


Don't bother calling. There is no point since he broke up with you.

you don't need to pick up if/when he calls. however, you could answer and just remind him that you don't want to be friends with someone that broke up with you.

He wants you to call him so that his ego isn't bruised, and I'm sure he'll be back for more consolation later too. Even though he initiated the break up, no one wants to feel like a horrible person who broke someone's heart. He wants you to call and tell him "it's ok". But it's not. My suggestion is to start the no contact with him. My ex was like this too - cried when I said I don't think we can be friends. But think about it: it's a lot easier for the person who rejected you to imagine being friends than it is being on the receiving end. I wouldn't call, and don't feel the least bit bad about it. You know what is best for you, and he doesn't get to decide what you do after he breaks up with you.
