Question - (18 June 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 June 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I broke up with my bf 3 weeks ago. It was a friendly break. It's happened before that we'd break up and get back together in no time, but this time, i don't know. our relationship was getting soo hard! Anyway, we never stopped talking since the break. Actually, we've been speaking every single day, about college, work, weather via text. Mostly, he's the one that texts me first, and i answer.

We stopped calling each other, but today, i felt like calling him, and so i did. We spoke for 10 minutes and it was nice... made me think that maybe i made the wrong choice by breaking up with him.

The thing is, a couple hours later, he calls me and asks for another girls name (or at least that's what i heard). I got super mad (and tried no to show, but it's hard)... he assured that he pressed the wrong cellphone button and it speed dialed me, and that he was actually calling for his (guy) friend. I could only say: you owe me no explanation. we're no longer together, remember? then he got mad and we hung up.

i'm pretty sure i heard a girl's name. did he do that to see if i was going to be jealous?

or was it an honest mistake and i should apologise for not being nicer?

It may well be an honest mistake. He might have been trying to make you jealous. Only he knows that.

You have no need to apologise, you did nothing wrong.

But - if hearing him say another girls name makes you jealous, are you sure breaking up with him was the right thing to do? you said it's happened before... did you break up thinking that it'd be like the other times?

Maybe you should talk to him about the call...explain how it made you feel, and how you feel about him.
