The first (and hardest) thing to do is to make peace with the probability that he won’t give you what you want. That would be an apology. Now, he might contact you years (decades) from now and say he’s sorry for the way he was as a young guy. But who has time to wait for that? Also, for some people, even if we know we did something wrong, are too prideful to admit it.

For you, feeling and acting “jealous” was perceived as “wrong”. Well, jealousy is a feeling. And as for acting jealous, it sure seemed to be what he wanted, despite his chidings.

In other words, you’re not crazy. He made you crazy. He was more wrong than you. And I bet he knows it.

Now, block his number. Do a made up I’m Starting Over ritual. To New Beginnings!
