He stole from you, fraudulently using your debit card. This is a person who has no scruples. You are lucky he didn’t respond to the letter you sent. He could have done something to make trouble for you, maybe telling your husband something, maybe a lie to cause trouble. He could feign caring and hoover you into something with him that would ruin your marriage— He could be a horrid enough person that he would intentionally do that and enjoy doing it. Knowing that he stole from you, I say stay far away from him and be thankful he didn’t hurt you worse.
These relationship hurts do sting and haunt for as long as it takes us to heal. I’m ashamed to admit how I stewed over these break ups of mine. Yes, I did it during new relationships. I know it wasn’t healthy. I never thought to go to a therapist about it. I’ve learned there is a term ‘limerence’ and OCD describes these issues. I probably have some condition or disorder. But, I think people who don’t still will smart over hurtful breakups. It just takes some time. How much time is a healthy person’s recovery? Vs. How long did I ruminate? That’s a good question. The take-away here is that you definitely will heal. Especially since this guy was such a creep who stole from you. Also, the restorative justice letter sent is more for YOU than for him. He may not have even read it and thrown it right in the trash. It did feel good for me to write it and daringly send it. It feels like when you write on a note and cast it into the sea. It’s a release. Feeling like I got it off my chest helped me stop ruminating about the anger and sped up healing and feeling closure. __________________ "And don't say it hasn't been a little slice of heaven, 'cause it hasn't!" .

thank you, Tisha! These are all things I've thought of myself. He cannot find my husband however, because he is blocked on all social media. There is no way for him to know who he is. But you make really good points! He was a very horrid person... the lowest of the lows!!!!! I just found out about him stealing from me to buy drugs, that's why it's fresh again and coming up again.

I recommend confronting abusers at the time of abuse and when they are currently in your life (confronting within reason, not endangering yourself). No one should tolerate abuse.
I see no benefit though in contacting abusive exes who aren’t currently in your life. Telling them how they wronged you isn’t going to correct the past or change your present or future. It just prolongs your agony and reenforces your pain and likely sends them a message that they are on your mind and you aren’t over them. You wrote to him and he didn’t reply. It’s expected. Why would he contact you? To say what? Personally I think he needs to be blocked and you need to stop any form of contact |

I agree with you, Divine. I definitely WILL NOT contact him again. I wrote him last December to confront the majority of his behaviors and to let him know I was getting married. There is no reason for me to reach out again... that would definitely send the wrong message and he would take it as an ego boost. He is blocked everywhere. He can email me though. Gmail does not actually block email addresses, it only filters the email elsewhere.
