Hot and Cold Treatment
My ex and I broke up 7 months ago, we had no contact ever since until he reached out to me all of a sudden last January. He called one day asking how am I, and him reminiscing the things we did when we're together and joking around that we should meet again. The first time that we did talk I already asked him where is this going because I know that he knows that I still love him and he told me to take it easy. It goes on like this like every 2 days and he'll just call all of a sudden. and then come March, he just like stopped calling me til now, we're also workmates and whenever we had a meeting the past few days I feel like he's acting cold or like he didnt know me all over again like the treatment we had few months after break up. Its just so confusing and I feel so pathetic all over again, i thought we were building something or taking it slow to start over, i don't wanna be the first to contact him, i am so tired and exhausted to still force myself to him. I know he's a good man and he'll never intentionally hurt me or maybe he's confused as I am but I'm really having a difficulty on what's going on in his mind. Please enlighten me. ps. We had a decent proper break up and there's no third party, he's having quarter life crisis and just want to figure out things alone
Me and my ex broke up over “needing to be able to grow and survive without each other” not even because one of us didn’t have feelings or there was someone else. I’m still madly in love with him. Theres no way to read your ex’s mind, you’ll just have to tell him how you feel if you want to know. But it sounds like he’s keeping you at a “safe distance”. Doesn’t want to commit but doesn’t want to lose you either. I would consider either asking him what he wants from you or moving on. It’s not fair to you to be an option. You deserve better
Something similar happened to me as well ,I didn't wait for him to decide instead I took a decision to get out the whole mess doesn't mean I didn't love him but just because he is confused doesn't mean I have to suffer so instead of waiting for him to take a decision take control and make a decision and stand by it.
