He actually did you a favor. What good would it do to any more contact with that asshole? Your best-case scenario is that you win him back with eloquent, heartfelt words. But what have you won? Shit. Who wants to win shit?

*best impresonation of Arnold Schwarzenegger* You got to get out of here NOAW!!!!

Hire Dog the bounty hunter to find him to tell him what a piece of shit human being he is.

Under no circumstances should you ever take him back! It may not seem like it now but the hurt will go away.

Hopefully he didn't clean out the house before leaving and you can sell of some of his stuff. I'm sorry, OP. That's a really shitty thing for him to do.

Why would you even want to text/call him after he told you that?

OMG he must be a fan of Bill Burr! These people telling you to sell the ring, sell his stuff and whatever kind of revenge to get back at him is exactly why he's done this- most likely wanted to avoid the prolonged BS of a breakup like this and thought it would be best to just drop out of your life. My advice; grieve, move on, don't do anything that could land you in court, don't take it personally or blame yourself, count yourself lucky that you didn't marry this gutless POS and remember the best revenge is a life well lived.

My gf of 7 years left me as well with a guy she met at her work, which I helped her to find. I only received a text where she said she didn't want to keep hurting me, and that's the last time I talked to her, it was 7 months ago, and certainly the therapy helped a lot, but I still miss her...

Wow. That is the most epic level of asshole I've heard of in a long time. I hope he gets hit by a damn bus on his way out of state. What a horrible person.

He’s a dick
