Why is he acting like this?

Despite being the one who ended your relationship, he continues to call and text you.

He said he was not interested in being together. Why then does he behave as though you are still in one?

Is it possible that he misses you?

Does he feel bad about leaving you?

Does he want you back?

I'll explain the top 10 reasons your ex continues to text you after the breakup in a moment.

However, I want you to first consider how his texting is impacting YOU.

Do you find it difficult to let go of him and move on?

Does each text he sends you give you a glimmer of hope that you two could be back together again?

Do you have the feeling like you're still in a relationship?

Your sense of closure is limited when an ex contacts you after a split.

You're stuck in this limbo where you're unsure of the situation.

Although he said he didn't want a relationship, his actions suggest otherwise.

Which do you believe: What he says or what he is doing?

It's messing with your head. You're not sure if you should be happy that he still wants to talk to you or pissed off that he broke up with you.

You're not sure if you should get on with your life or if he's going to change his mind and say that he wants to get back together.

You need to be clear.

And these ten explanations may help explain what's going on.

10 Reasons Your Ex Isn't Letting Go

There are several reasons why guys don't let go after a breakup.

1. Out of guilt, he's keeping a door open.

The person who breaks up with someone always feels guilty about it. Especially if the partner they are breaking up with is super sweet and nice! He can feel a lot better about himself if you act like you're still pals.

2. He's keeping a door open in case you're willing to share a bed once more.

He still wants you if he wants to sleep with you, but it doesn't imply he wants you back.

3. He can't quit the habit of talking to you, he is keeping a door open.

It may be quite difficult to completely cut off communication after being a part of each other's lives for so long. He's used to talking with you. So whenever he sees anything amusing or experiences something, he still immediately thinks about you.

However, being in touch creates the impression that you are still together even when you are not. It stops you both from moving on.

4. He hasn't met anybody else yet, so he's leaving a door open because he needs that female connection and support.

When a woman is absent from our life, men can feel lost. He's free to meet other people now that he's broken up with you, but it's difficult to find a new partner.

By keeping in touch with you, he gets the advantages of a relationship without any of the responsibilities.

5. He's leaving a door open since he frequently keeps in touch with his ex-girlfriends.

Some males go out of their way to leave every relationship on good terms. It makes life simpler, especially if you have mutual pals.

6. He's keeping a door open since your love gives him an ego boost.

It's difficult to turn your back on love. He was walking away from a heart that was honest when he told you he didn't want to be with you. Staying in touch with you means he can continue to enjoy your devotion without responsibilities.

7. He won't lock a door since he lacks the guts to do so.

Completely cutting off someone who craves your company is really difficult. Not all guys have the courage to do it. Men without guts will keep in touch with you and then hate you for it.

8. Because he misses you, he's keeping a door open

It doesn't matter who wanted to end the relationship. You'll still miss the other person. You'll still remember the happy times. Having fond memories of the past is not the same as wanting to get back together again.

9. He's holding a door open since he's unsure about his decision.

Not everyone leaves a relationship with complete clarity on their move being the right one. There are always both good and bad reasons to stay. But which reasons have the most weight are unclear.

10. He's leaving a door open because he believes you two could possibly get back in the future.

Sometimes guys end relationships because the timing was just off. They like you, they like spending time with you, and they hope that keeping in touch would make it possible for the spark to be reignited at a later time.

Will keeping in touch with your ex make it more likely that you two will get back together?

Yes, but at a cost.

By keeping in touch, you may convince him that he can enjoy all the benefits of being with you without having any obligations in a relationship.

Letting him go through life without you is one way to make him realize what he lost when he left you.

If you choose that route, be kind but firm. You're moving on.

But if you're convinced that you'll had something special and that he sees that too, then this Relationship Rewrite Method might be able to help you.

It gives you a chance to wipe the slate clean and re-ignite the spark in your relationship.
