what did he mean by one way the other?


Question Posted Sunday February 11 2018, 2:34 pm

we broke up after five months and he ended the relationship as he's got a gf and kids with her. but we loved each other and relationship really flowed but we're going to stay mates. when he called it off he said he didn't want any stress as it is and I told him, I'm not in your life anymore and I'm the one who's causing you stress and he replied you're in my life, one way the other you're in my life. so what's did he mean by this one way the other?? we're both 24. I hope you guys don't judge me. love is blind.

To say 'one way or the other' in the context in which he used it, makes me think that he either means that you will see each other again for sure but without naming the ways how like having friends in common, frequenting the same stores and eateries, belonging to the same club, exercise class, work at same place, etc. And if non of those apply, that could mean that he is promising to find ways to purposely with intent to do so, run into you, kinda like stalking.
Now heres a site that explains the same idiom:

In short it means that in some way you will always be in his life. Just how he means that I can't say as that part is really open-ended as to how and what he means and only he knows that.
