why would my ex say this to me


Question Posted Tuesday January 25 2011, 7:17 am

my ex boyfriend broke up with me, we remained in contact because I wanted to try and work things out and he said he'd think about it. I didn't want to remain friends with him and I made that clear. a month later, after no effort on his part, I started texting a guy I met in a bar. my ex SAW me with the guy but all we were doing was talking.

im not dating this guy, and my ex knows that, but he said to me "well y'all might get together soon, or you might start dating another guy I don't know but then maybe we'd get back together if you broke up" I said what do you mean he said "im jus saying you never know" why would you say that to someone you broke up with?

It sounds to me that he's just trying to string you along. He broke up with you and didn't want to work things out although you did. Now he realizes you're not at home crying over it and you're out meeting new guys. He's probably jealous but still won't committ to you, so instead he makes half-assed comments to get your attention. My advice would be to cut off any contact with this guy and move on. He's immature and not worth your time. Hope this helps. Good luck!

He's just attention seeking. He said that to make you think "Why would he say that?"

After a month of nothing, he comes up with some half-asses comment like this to make sure he's still on your mind. He's also basically told you he isn't interested in getting back together with you for a while - if he is interested at all. Frankly, he is probably not the least bit interested in getting back together with you. He sounds like he is just interested in keeping all his options open and not being decisive and clear.

Either pin him to the wall and say "Look, do you want to try again or not? This is your last chance to speak up." or ignore him and move on with your life.
