Messy breakup

Hi everyone!

So, I broke up with my boyfriend of two years the other day. I think everything went ok, there weren't really any hard feelings. Of course we both were hurt. But the worst part came after... he started writing me long texts and just blaming hinself, me and just very messy stuff. He continued the next day. We both wanted to keep contact (you know, not completely erase each other) and he was especially very determined to not want to delete me from his life. But then he proceeded to delete me on instagram and facebook yesterday evening, which made me so sad. Of course I understand why he would want to do that, but when he especially said that he wouldn't and that I was the one leaving him completely alone. Even though I was still there for him after the break up and tried to talk.

Things got ugly after that and even more messier. He wouldn't stop writing me and I just got really angry and I really tried to comfort him but that very much not possible when they've hurt you so many times. We both really didn't want it to end like this, but I really can't be kind if he decides to get ugly. I know I should have understood him better. But now after all these texts, and his whole reaction to the break up, I'm feeling very uncomfortable. I am glad I made the decision, because that is no acceptable reaction from a 21 year old man.. (in my opinion). Not saying he can't react in any way, but taking it out on me and victimizing himself -> not okay.

@Tarlabasi I know it's really hard, but that probably just comes from deep, deep hurt. A lot of factors determine how people handle something. Try to be empathetic, don't get nasty back. And just delete the messages without reading them or block him if he's relentless.

@Tarlabasi hey! i'm really sorry about the breakup! breaking up with a person you care for is always a hard decision and i can understand that! you handled it very well! and i'm proud of you for that! i think that you tried your best to be there for him and empathise with him but maybe he just wants to be alone for a while, i cant say if he'd be back in your life or not but what i can tell you is that you made the right decision and showed empathy to him when he hurt you, so what he does now isnt your fault!

i hope what i said helped! :))
