We walked out of the bank and made our way to the roadside, my boyfriend and I. We ordered an Uber, but the rider cancelled on us. Since we were in a hurry, we decided to walk to the roadside to hail a taxi or a trotro—whichever came first. The sun was up, and the weather was hot. There were no oncoming vehicles in sight until, much later, a private car pulled over next to us. When the window rolled down, I saw who it was.

He called my name and asked where I was headed. I told him, and he invited me to get in. Perhaps he didn’t notice I was with my boyfriend, so I said, “I’m with him. He’s my boyfriend.” He smiled and replied, “No problem. Get in. I’ll take you there.”
We both thanked him and got into the back seat. We didn’t talk much except for me giving him directions on where to go and where to stop. When we got out of the car, he told me to take care, and I assured him I would.
My boyfriend was thankful too—until he asked me where I knew the driver from. I didn’t want to be entirely honest, but I also didn’t want it to come back to haunt me later, so I admitted, “He’s my ex. The one I dated before I met you.”
He went berserk. “Your ex? Why didn’t you tell me? What kind of embarrassment is this?”
I apologized, but he wouldn’t accept it. He kept ranting and ranting until I finally asked what I should have done. We needed the help he offered. Thanks to him, we were able to get to our destination on time. Besides, I didn’t realize it was him until he rolled down the window. Everything happened so quickly that I couldn’t have done anything differently.
He jumped to conclusions, insisting that my ex was on a mission to win me back or to mock him. He claimed my ex had stopped to show off, and I had allowed it. I accepted everything he said and apologized unconditionally, but he still wouldn’t let it go.
She Invited All My Friends To The Wedding Except Me
He left me at our destination. I had to handle everything alone without him. He didn’t answer my calls or respond to my texts afterwards. It’s been five days, and I haven’t seen or heard from him. I’m trying my best, but every time I take a step forward, he takes three steps back. This is a difficult time for me, but I can’t help wondering: Is this the worst that could happen? Even after I’ve apologized?

Men are like that. Just leave him be and give him space. When he wants he’ll come around but be prepared to have it thrown at you anytime esp in moments he can’t provide enough or when you act in a way he finds suspicious.
You shouldn’t have accepted the lift. If ,say,you were ill and he gave you a nice meal and you found out it had been cooked by his ex,would you be happy?
give him sometime to come around dont stress to much about it. If your conscience is clear then that is all that matters. He is suffering from a bruised Ego at the moment
Please don’t repeat such thing again. Let him be for the time being. He needs space to clear his head.
It’s his ego and pride that’s killing him. You were desperate and help came along, what’s his beef?
Have you given him any indication that you’re still in touch with your ex? If no, relax and give him some space, he’ll come around. But if he should try using that against you in the future, just opt out of the relationship for your sanity.
He is bruised because your ex has a car and gave him a lift.
Just ignore him. He’s suffering from a bruised ego. You did nothing wrong. It was a coincidental meeting. You needed the help, your ex provided it. It is not your fault that your boyfriend doesn’t have a car. You’re not responsible for his inferiority complex. The moment that you apologised, all this nonsense should have ended. It is a sign of extreme immaturity that he is throwing a temper tantrum over it and ghosting you.
I HAVE MY EX BACK TO ME WITH THE SOLUTION FROM Dr BABA LAWO, I came in contact with Dr BABA LAWO, through a testimony written about him and i have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life. To get back with an ex is one of the most innermost feelings many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent for almost 6 years and though my ex husband was far away from my kids I still wish someday he will return back to me. This spell doctor i encountered known as Dr BABA LAWO, helped me with my wishes and i am happy to say that i am back with my ex husband. The result manifested 48 hours as he assured me and the love and connection we shared was restored amazingly. If you want to successfully get back with your ex,
