I want my ex to tell me every day that we are over so I can hopefully get all hope out of my system
Why do you think you need your ex to solidify their stance that it is over between you two?
It's sad getting the same news over and over again from them
I get that you're seeking closure. Unfortunately, we can't always get what we want and most of the time, it's best to move on.
I will not give up since I haven't lost HOPE yet.
If they have ignored you for a long time and do not even bother trying to get a closure with the relationship, then I do not think that this person cares enough to be with a relationship again with you. I suggest that you move on from her as it is not healthy trying to hope for a relationship that have already ended.
