Deleting your number from their phone

Am floored that I got a reply to my text message. I just said 'be safe' (he has a dangerous job and there's a mad guy on the loose). I did mean it and totally expected no reply.

But he replied saying thanks and 'just don't recognise your number'.

Do they really delete your number? I wouldn't delete his as a) I'm an adult, b) I'd want to know it was him if he ever contacted me again.

Another ex n made out he deleted my number when he hadn't. Is it just to put you off kilter? Plus, I'd never ever respond to an unknown number by text.

I told him who I was and still wished him well

Sorry to go on about this again. When I stupidly fell into his trap and 'told him who I was' I didn't want him to have the last word knowing he had hurt me again by giving me the silent treatment. So I followed it up with, and it'll be the last text I ever send... "wrong answer eh :) be safe" my previous N would have hoovered me up in an instant with this. But I never ever wanted to contact him ever - NC was almost easy with him. But if ex cop is more psychopath than N, I guess hoovering isn't part of his MO. I haven't eaten for 2 days. What the he'll have I done to myself. I hate being me.

Go eat something!!!! Hate is

Go eat something!!!! Hate is a very powerful word. Especially when desribing yourself. I think you hate the situation you were in, not yourself. I hope anyway:) K. This will sound corny but it always helped me when I was down on myself. Go and write down your positive qualities. I know you have many so force yourself to write them down. And read them to yourself. Go eat and make a list and report back ASAP! lol.just kidding with the bossiness. but you should definately eat and write a list:) xoxo

I like how many of us have changed the N's name in our phones! I changed mine to "dont answer! no contact!"

He's lying to put you down.

He's lying to put you down. Typical. I have to have the exN number as I have children, but I changed his contact name. When he calls or sends a text it comes up as "Narcissist Abuser Liar Loser" I know it's childish but hey, makes me laugh.

My reply..

I had to do it. Just to show I wasn't bothered about his "hmm which one" comment. Sorry as it's really not very pc... "(name) with slight boz eye, one leg shorter than other, big shoe" no reply..!

Why..

Don't know. I didn't expect a reply but sent it anyway. He's one of the armed cops hunting that crazy bloke who's out to kill policeman and it was praying on my mind. I know, stupid. His texts could have been worse and at least he found some decency to thank me for the message (even if he did pretend to not know who I was) - but it's over and done with now, he won't contact me again.

Def messing with me

Thanks everyone, totally agree with you all. He's def messing with me though. I replied to his so called question with 'it's just (name) be safe' and he came back with ''will do. How are you?''. I didn't hear it arrive as it was 2am. Then at 5am another "hmm (name) which one". Haha that actually made me laugh!

"which one" What an ass!!

"which one" What an ass!! See? He just had to get the last word that you don't matter. Because you did not reply in proper fashion in the middle of the night, he is again trying to hurt you. But it's funny, isn't it that as you learn more about his tricks, they just become laughable.

I have deleted my exN

I have deleted my exN number. First i will not need it anymore as i want NC. Second it stopped me from smsing him. But i know my ex never deleted my number and he has never deleted any of his exes numbers. I think Ns needs our numbers to be able to contact as in future in case they need us as a supply. So maybe he just wrote it to upset you?

Miss M

He's messing with you. He's trying to make you think he deleted your number. Even if he deleted it, he probably would make sure he recognized the phone number if you were to call. They are way too controlling not to ensure they know who is calling at all times! Ignore him!

agree with lisa. thats total

agree with lisa. thats total bullshit. my ex had all his ex-girlfriends in his phone. he also told me one time he deleted all the things he had from me when we broke up. he had every single email and photos of me on his computer. everything that comes out of their mouth is a freakin lie.

Yes, I have noticed that

Yes, I have noticed that mine, apart the phone numbers, is storing all the photos of his ex gfs - the digital once and old paper photos, which he took with himself when he was moving 500 km away. I was sharing an apartment with him and there was plenty of this stuff around...like a picture of one girl in bikini framed and behind the glass.

delete

I deleted his number long ago, but still remember it well. I also blocked his number early in my NC months so his txts wouldn't irritate me anymore. I unblocked his number a couple months ago and he was still txting me weekly. He hasn't txted me in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping he found another supply. As to if he has deleted my number? I hope so, cause frankly I never want to hear or see him again!

I don't think they do very often....

I don't think they delete numbers very often. I blocked my N through Verizon last summer, but he got a hold of me through work. I have changed his name to "psychopath" in my directory.

I changed his name to "Jackasspath" for a couple of months, but decided to delete it entirely.

I know he will eventually call, and I want that reminder of who it REALLY is when I look at my phone!

It sounds like he could be

It sounds like he could be messing with you. Or he may have deleted your number. If that's the case, consider yourself lucky. And I deleted my N's number from my phone. I also deleted every picture of him, and got rid of almost every piece of crap he ever gave me.

Yes they do

Not getting into the details of how I know, but the disordered personality I was involved with deleted my number. Too bad I already changed it : ) And I just recently made myself delete his number. If it ever came up, I would know it was his...it's not a number I'd soon forget.
