Those who initiate the break-up why do they feel the need to tell you every now and then that they miss you/still love you... Is it to ease the guilt feeling? is it to show you they are suffering as well? or is it the lonely bed at night that is making them do it?
My ex is doing this to me! and it drives me nuts! he ended the relationship by insisting on looking for jobs in another city eventhough he has a good job where we live (he is staying here at least 5 more months but I dont want to be with him for another 5 months and then pouf). It has not been long together (only 2 months but quite intense) I m trying to follow the no contact rule (except when social occasions force me to see him which is once every 10-14 days) but he keeps emailing to tell how much he misses me!!
Do I tell him to stop it! I keep ignoring his emails but I dont want to get them!! I m fed up with his stupidity!! He made the decision to move away and now he wants to make me feel bad for him too on top of my own misery!!! WTF!! Anyone has an explanation to this phenomenon?

It's not a phenomenon, and it's not all people who break up who do it.
