If your ex hates you so much and wants no contact forever, why does he still have...

[Blair Miller]

...my phone number, and g-chat? My male ex told me he wants no contact for life. I obliged and never contacted him. I just find it funny that he still follows me on twitter, still appears on my g-chat list, and still has my phone number (I know he has my phone number still because after 9 months of no contact with each other, he called me to yell at me about something -- apparently I spilled a dirty secret of his to some friends, so he called me in rage -- but he never removed me off of any communication or social networking). I was VERY surprised he still had my phone number because I deleted his phone number off my phone and I answered his call because I had no idea who it was.

Personally for me, when guys turn into stage 5 clingers that I want no contact with, I delete them on phone, I blocked and delete them on my g-chat list, on facebook, and on my twitter. If he says he truly wants nothing to do with me, why does he still have his electronic tabs on me -- if you hate someone so much and want to eliminate them from your life as he claims about me, you would block them off and delete them on all these things.

Men, can you please explain this behavior to me?

(me and my ex were involved with each other for 5 years).
