Ex-boyfriend
sarah J 798280Apr 23, 25
My ex-boyfriend had left me and went and married a woman. Now they married are not working out his starting to text me and say he was sorry, but he texts me to give him 400 dollar to get his car out of the shop I had felt sorry for him and I did give him 400 dollar but after that I didn't here from him, I was so hurt. So what should I do if he asks me again when his married not going to work out.

      Block his number on your phone and treat the relationship as something you learnt from and with those learnings, look forward.

          Why would you give him money Sarah? He is only using you because he knows he can. Ignore him and move on to someone who will appreciate you and love you.

              Once a cheater, always a cheater and as they say "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". He is using you as he knows you are vulnerable. Don't let him. Kick him to the curb and keep this ex an ex he is not worthy.

                  hmm naivety and hope. Hopefully now you have learned. Ignore him totally he is a user you don't need people like that in your life [if necessary block his number. Take care and look after yourself.

                    Tell him to step off! He is not your responsibility and he's probably giving you a sob story to get you to give him money. If he put as much effort into his marriage as he put into texting you and bilking money from you, he wouldn't have marriage problems. He's trash let him go.

                      Block his number and move on. He's already shown you his true colours, twice. He's not a guy you want or need in your life in any capacity.

                        Ignore, ignore, ignore. He is trying to use you. Go out have fun you'll find somebody who really loves you when you are least expecting it. He made his bed now he must lay in it.

                          I would not have given him the money and you should not give him anymore if he asks you he is just using you tell him to get the money from his wife

                                              Ignore him because he's clearly using you. Those kinds of people aren't worth your time because they will leave you feeling hurt. Do not make that mistake again.

                                                I'd say you were crazy to give him $400 after he left you and got married and even more crazy to ask someone what should you do if he asks again!!

                                                    He is an EX for a reason. I would ask for the $400 back and when he repays you that should be the end of it. If he doesn't repay you you can always go to his house and ask for the money back infront of his wife. He left you, in his eyes you weren't good enough. Block him from all communication. And find a real man that will treat you like you should be treated. Good Luck.

                                                      Obviously he is an Ex for a very good reason you were saved from him. Don't fall into his trap of manipulation, be glad you had a lucky escape when he showed his true colours. Seek true love and move on.

                                                                It is way 'past' time to 'move on' when he left you and eventually got married (but not to you). If you can't (or won't) 'move on' it is time to have a chat (ongoing) with a psychiatrist or psychologist (hopefully you have a health plan) because it reads like you are having self-confidence issues and your ex-boyfriend is taking advantage of you on a monetary level (borrowing money from you with no intentions of ever paying you back)!

                                                                  You sound very young and rather niave. It also sounds like you still have feelings for him. If you've given him money, while he's married to another woman and then he's not communicating with you, ( ghosted you) consider it a $400 life lesson, not to be repeated. Close this chapter of your life and move on, he's not worth the angst he's caused you. I don't know you, but you deserve better than how you've been treated in the story you've told here. I wish you all the best.

He told me a different address where he lived. Every time we went out I paid for everything. He borrowed $200 but at least I got the money back. I think a liar never knows when they are telling the truth. He would disappear for days and I found out he had other women. I am glad I am rid of him.

Do whatever you can to move on with your life. Be Happy, Smile alot.

The best gifts one could ever receive is the happiness that comes from GIVING...your time, your effort, etc. Just start to cultivate good habits that can ONLY benefit you and your mental, psychological and physical well-being. I personally do a LOT of walking in nature and it helps with everything.
