Hope you are ok. Of course he is begging and pleading. Crying and making promises. They always beg and plead. My ex significant other begged and cried and pleaded for over a year after I left. He had to be blocked because it became inappropriate.

True for toxic women too. My husbands ex made his and my stepkids life he$$ and ripped him off in divorce yet she called us when we were already together begging and pleading him (realized that she’ll never find another nice man to put up with her and found out he moved on), she had to be blocked as well.

That’s how they operate. You take them back, and they are back to their old ways. I took my ex back at some point before final break up. My husband took his ex back at some point years before final separation and divorce. They never get better. Just waste of time. What you see is what you get.

Be safe
