So I've been in a tumultuous relationship for the past 2.5 years that ended at the end of April. My ex is a huge narcissist, always believing he is above everyone else even though he does absolutely nothing with his life. I met him when I was 18, naive, and in a bad time in my life, so I ended up getting very very attached to him. I treated my ex like a king but was stupid enough to accept tiny amounts of effort he would put into our relationship, and i've also taken him back after cheating. we have broken up several times before, and whenever we break up, he always comes back about 2 months later, apologizing.  I end up giving him another chance and we always end up breaking up again in the future.  So this last time in April we broke up, and sure enough, after two months, I got a text from him saying  "Hey", and this was the first time I chose to not respond to him.  I wanted to move on and stop believing that he could change.  He then called me the next day and I didn't answer. That was in June, and I have not heard from him since.  I don't understand why I want to hear from him again.. I know I can't get back together with him (for my own sake), but I just really want him to apologize for all of the abuse and hurt he has caused me throughout our entire relationship.  And a part of me wants him to realize that I was valuable and that he shouldn't have taken me for granted. I have seen his social media and he appears to be single, and there seems to be no change in his life (no job, no priorities).

My question is: Do you think that because he hasn't put in any real effort into contacting me since July that he has moved on? Or do you believe that he is waiting for me to miss him and contact him? Is this really the end?
