After 5 years of liking each other, 9 months into the relationship, (6 months being in ldr), my Leo broke up with me and my Taurus self was broken. It's been 7 months since. We talked after that too despite deciding we couldn't,I would initiate, he would sincere follow. I guess he still thought I would return to the same city as his, then I moved into thid new city and out of the blue, he stops talking to me, blocks me on call etc. I was still unblocked on hangouts though. So he had this huge exam and me being a typical Taurus in love, would text him to "make him feel better" and if he wouldn't reply would genuinely feel he was too busy studying. 3 months later on a text of mine he called me up and told me to never talk to him again and for the first time I questioned why, asked him for explanations, called him out on some bs. This continued for 3 hrs and then I told him chuck it, let's end it,to hell whatever we had. He then started convincing me that whatever we had was great blah blah bullshit. I told him to give me sometime since it was very difficult to forget him(he knows) , I won't call but if in the rarest case I would to answer, just for another 2 months. (I know it sounds weird but that's how I work). He did not give in until half an hour later. Throughout he called me his "FAN" , repeatedly told me not to make any grand gestures on his bday even when I told him I wouldn't, said if we meet someday face to face he'd be courteous enough to say hi, kinda was showing mercy. Arggghhhh!! This guy, whom I tried to lift up from his insecurities, his fears, his underconfidence, whom I loved so much is now giving me this bullshit! Calling him his fan, saying if I want i can keep calling him and if his mood suits he MAY pick up!! What the fucking hell!! After an hour he calls me again just to prove he's a nice guy by saying he loved me when in the relationship and I shouldn't be saying let the relationship go to hell because it was beautiful! What the fuck, he did not love me!! I cannot take this and I may sound like a bitch but I want to get back at him, he thinks of me a slave, fan, what not!! Any way?

You need to let this one go. Sounds like he's pushing you away and for some reason you're still trying to hold on to him. It's not worth it. At this point he's trying to let you down gently. Also if 6 months was a long distance relationship, that means only 3 months was spent around each other. It usually takes 3 months for a person to show their true character. This can be skewed in long distance relationships due to the time apart.

Also Leos are goal driven, even in relatinoships. If we're going to be in an LDR, there needs to be a reason and an end goal. Coming from personal experience LDRs are a lot of maintenance to be tied to a person you barely get to see. The Leo has to know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. When you moved to a different city, that effectly killed whatever you two could have had. You were already broken up too, so continuing to draw things out simply didn't make sense to him.

Sounds like you only want to "get back at him" to keep the communication open between you. Just let it die already.

Sounds like he's feeding very well off of your attention. Ghost him when your ready, but ridicule him before you go. Leo's love giving advice also I've noticed. It's good advice that they usually give, but if you completely shut it down.... They get offended
I'm kinda planning on doing that. I really don't want to just let him go without telling him how much he hurt me throughout. I'm thinking of calling him and saying all that and then no more contact ever.

No way. I'm not planning on keeping any communication open between us. It was my first relationship and I cannot tell you just how much I loved him. I guess I don't know how to go about relationships which is why I would take all his negative behaviour and say nothing. I suspected him of having cheated me once too but then I let it go because he was back being nice to me and I thought it was okay. I've taken a lot of his bullshit because I was crazy in love? Idk. So all that I expected after the break up was a little respect for what wr had? I had told him I wanted to stay friends but he didn't. Fine. But do not disrespect me. He did that. He doesn't realise why I did what I did and he's interpreting it as me being his fan?! Wth?! And I want to get back at him solely because I feel cheated, hurt and disrespected. I have to tell him that I know what he did is wrong, just because I kept quiet didn't mean he was right.

Why resort to revenge in the first place?? The odds were stack against you. It didn't last and that's ok, enjoy that time for what it was while it lasted. As immature as you believe him to be right now, by resorting to revenge plots, you're no better than he is.

The sweetest "revenge" is to let it go, move forward and be just fine with it. Focus on yourself and forget about him. If you're lucky he may eventually pop up on you, but you'll be cool as a cucumber, enjoying your life despite him no longer having a place in it. That my friend will sting and you won't have to resort to stooping either.
I know it may be interpreted as being immature when I talk about revenge. You know what, i know I'll get over him eventually and this won't matter to me in the future. But this is what I've always been doing with him. I let all his faults go by, and do not even tell him what he did was wrong or hurt me. And that is exactly why he thinks I'm fangirling on him because he's oh so perfect. You know, this guy was as scared as a kitty when I met him and I genuinely wanted to make him the best of him because I so loved him, and see how things have turned. He thinks of himself nothing less that God? He's disrespecting whatever we had by being so disrespectful with me and my feelings. Throughout the relationship I didn't feel as loved, i even doubt he cheated on me, he would always have his own way and I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to go about it. I would let him have his way because I was blinded with love. But he needs to know, he needs to know he was wrong and disrespecting me is wrong, just because I kept quiet doesn't make him right. Though I know it may be an altogether different story if even that won't affect him.

Feel free to tell him what you will, though it probably won't give you the satisfaction you desire. I suggest you move on since there's more dignity in letting petty things like this roll off your back. Trying to get back at him for possibly not valuing you in the first place is a losing battle. It's best to move on and find someone who will regard you properly. That will be the best revenge.

Also trying to get revenge because YOU let things slide during the relationship doesn't make sense. If you allowed this guy to walk all over you, that's your fault. Own your mistake, learn from it, and move on with your life. Next time be sure that your partner respects you and your feelings in the relationship.

Devil's Advocate: It sounds like you weren't entirely ready to let this guy go when you broke up. He may have sensed this and tried letting you go gently over time. He may have said those things to help you get over him. Calling you his biggest "fan" may sound condescending because of the feelings you had for this guy, but from an outside perspective it's not the worst thing. Let it go.
