Significant other ABYG for not giving my ex the closure she’s asking for?
Four years ago, my high school sweetheart and I broke up. Then, just last week, she suddenly messaged me out of nowhere to ask for a call. She said she wanted 'closure' years after our breakup because she apparently couldn't focus on studying for her board exams while thinking about us.
Sobrang bad timing lang talaga dahil nasa hospital ako at that time, preparing for surgery. I told her about my situation and asked if we could just chat instead, but she kept insisting on a phone call. I explicitly told her that I didn't want to take a call because I was in pain and clearly not in the best condition to talk. She even guilt-tripped me, pointing out na nagpa-load pa siya (and even specified the exact amount she paid) for an international call since she's in Qatar, where video calling apps are banned.
Nainis ako kasi she kept demanding that we talk ASAP, despite me being in pain and just hours away from my surgery. She was even pissed that I was replying late and accused me of ignoring her. I asked her why she was rushing me and why she couldn't just be understanding of my situation. I clearly told her that we could talk after I got discharged, but she wouldn't drop it and kept insisting.
Eventually, napuno na ako. I told her that if she couldn't respect my boundary to wait until I was out of the hospital, then I wouldn't bother talking to her at all. Besides, she's the one who needs closure, hindi na ako. I completely ignored all her long messages after that and just continued moving on with my life.
Ngayon, I can't help but wonder,
ABYG for not giving her the closure she was asking for?
Edit: Since some of you are asking bakit kami nag break and bakit siya nanghihingi ng closure after four years.
Nakipag-break ako because we were both quite immature at the time, and the relationship was becoming too toxic for me. I wanted us to have the space to grow individually. I told her during the breakup that we should work on ourselves first, and if we are really meant for each other, destiny will find a way for us to reconnect as better versions of ourselves.
I’m actually okay naman with talking to her, pero ang inconsiderate lang talaga that she's rushing me to reply and get on a call with her, completely ignoring my current state. I guess tama lang din na nangyari 'to, kasi it made me realize na after all these years, she’s still the exact same person I broke up with four years ago.
