Input: Background: (I’ll try and make this quick) 24(F) and I broke up with my ex 25(M) a year ago. During the time we were together we never progressed as a couple, never celebrated an anniversary, never spent the holidays together or birthdays together etc.

I felt I was kept at arms length but I couldn’t see past him and couldn’t help but chase him and try and win his affection (Why idk). I brought it up from time to time but the conversations just ended in me feeling confused, unreasonable and apologising. We went on a break a few times because I said he couldn’t commit and he denied it. Anytime I said I didn’t want to be together anymore he said everything I wanted to hear but the words were never followed with actions. This went on for 2/3 years. Honestly I think I held on for so long because I was scared of being myself, scared that I wouldn’t meet anybody and scared of them not being a part of my life anymore. 

I broke up with him this time last year and we agreed we would try and stay friends. I didn’t think we would but even so it was comforting at the time. We spoke from time to time online just to catch up but nothing else.

I started dating someone else 4 months ago. We decided to take it slow, dating for a couple of months before making it official. It’s going great and I know it’s early but I can wholeheartedly say I love him (even though I haven’t told him that yet). Anyway, my ex strikes up a conversation online asking how I’ve been etc, we get to talking and he says he misses me I’ve made a mistake walking away and he wants to try again. I tell him I don’t feel the same way and that I’ve met someone else. I thought that would be the end of it and he would leave it at that. Instead since he went out his way to speak to me online more, invited me out to do things with him and generally just asking questions about my new relationship I’m obviously not comfortable speaking to him about. 

I didn’t want to be rude to him so politely declined each time. He was giving me a hard time for not wanting to spend time with him and cutting him out my life. He just doesn’t seem to get I don’t think it’s normal to speak to/spend time with an ex, even more so when one of us is in a new relationship. More recently the last month or so, he’s still tried to speak to me but I’ve ended up just ignoring him. I don’t know how else to deal with it. AITA?
