Ok so I dated this guy for 3 months last year. I'm 18 and he's 25. He broke up with me in December. He said he needed to work on himself. While we were together we had some issues with communication. I thought we could work them out so I was surprised and devastated at the break up, but I tried to move on. 3 weeks after that he called me and we talked for about 4 hours which resulted in us getting back together. So everything was going good. Then I stopped hearing from him. His phone was off and I had no way to get in touch with him. About 4 weeks later he called me and said he was stuck in Mexico, had no charger for his phone and he didn't have my number memorized so he couldn't call. I basically said it was fine and we were still together. Then another 3 weeks goes by without my hearing from him and he sends me a text asking how I am and if we're still together. I said yes and then 2 days later he texts me and says he just wants to be friends. Now I'm trying to move on but he keeps texting me telling me he misses me and I was the best thing in his life but its so confusing because if that's the truth then why break up.

You're missing him because you're spending so much time worrying about this flake. [ dearcandore's advice column | Ask dearcandore A Question ]

I'm not so sure about those long breaks he keeps taking, then coming back to you to "check" if you're together. He should know that you are or aren't - you both agreed on a "yes" and it will stay a "yes" till you both say "no". Maybe the reason why he keeps asking is because he's done/doing something that puts the relationship at risk. Maybe he's hiding something? It's not fair on his part to keep you on hold like that. He may need to work on himself, but you need to work on yourself too. He can't treat you like a back-up plan like this. Maybe this is for the best. If you *really* want to know what's going on, sit down and have a talk with him. A serious one. I hope this helps.
