But tell me why, guys, it's necessary to contact your ex to tell them you're going to a concert with another girl but there is nothing to it and it's just friends? WTF? Why put me through all that hell, and then when I dump you, keep trying to sniff around saying you'll change (when you've said it 50 times before and you NEVER do)? Of course it's my fault partially for humoring him and not changing my cell number but really... Why does he BOTHER? Is it the challenge factor or am I just missing something?

Whatever you do...DO NOT GO BACK TO HIM. It might sound like common sense...but when it comes to relationships, that all goes out the window. I'm sure most of you can relate.
