^^This is exactly why you don't break no contact rule.
The first set of texts was bait, and you know this dude!
She wanted you to know her pain and how much you hurt her and how much she still loves you.
The second set of texts was her pissed you didn't flinch and reply to her texts. The "bye" was the salt on the rim of sour break up margarita.
Hey I know, man.
Been in the game long enough to know these girls get butthurt when you don't come back knockin' even when they break up with you. In this case, I don't feel feel like I lost hand, dignity or self-respect after matter-of-factly responding hours later that I'm not interested in 'chatting' and reinforcing that we're gonna stay split.

The final texts (to your reply) is her trying to negotiate her way back into your life.
YOU abandoned her, YOU are selfish, then she cues the comfort, WE were great together, WE should remember that.
That's the hook some men bite one and get back into a toxic relationship that was dead a long time ago.
At least you said you "Agreed" then bounced.
Yep... wasn't going to have a back-and-forth nor get sucked into the vortex.

Stay strong, block that girls number if you need to, keep your life and game moving.
Part of the reason you can't get your dick hard is psychological - it's GUILT that you've put on yourself because you broke up with that girl.
You need to get that out of your head, you did it because you knew she wasn't good for you, that YOU'RE better than that man.
If you watch porn and jerk off, STOP that shit, if you barely workout, go workout everyday NOW, spend your free time on shit you love doing on your own.
Master your life, have rituals and a schedule, plan things fun, even it's on your own!
You're mostly right. No guilt in this case -- she dropped me afterall -- but the rest is spot on.
After going through enough breakups, you learn that going back is almost always useless, wallowing is useless and getting into another groove is paramount.
Even knowing that and even sensing that a burden has been lifted, there's still a generalized lingering apathy casting a shadow over life as a whole.
It's there and there's no use denying it.
Last week at about this time it was a heavy heart and melancholy.
The best option, as you wrote, is working through whatever plagues you and keeping with the healthy habits -- morning meditation, good diet, good sleep, limited alcohol, exercise, positive social interaction, more focus at work/reading etc.
It's simple but can sometimes be difficult.
Good perspective from you as always.
