Ask Amy: Dating apps beget ‘situationship’
I’d really like your take on this.

Dear Curious: I agree with you that deleting needs to happen. You need to do the deleting and what you need to lose – is him.
Based on what you say about this person, you obviously don’t like, trust, or respect him.
You were feeling good about how you ended things, but if you allow him to draw you back in, you won’t even have that.
Counseling is a great idea, especially for him. If he wants to enter therapy in order to figure out how and why he sabotaged the relationship with you, then let him do so and perhaps at some point in the future, he will be inspired to try to prove to you that he has changed. I hope that by that point, you will have moved on.
