I have never posted a question here before but here goes....

I spent 2 hours on the phone with an ex boyfriend this morning. We broke up almost 3 months ago. He now says he regrets things that happened. He apologized for things he said and did and told me what a great person he still thinks I am. He never said that he wanted to see me or that he regrets breaking up with me. He has always said that he has a problem with talking about his feelings and that because of things that happened with his ex-wife, he is very afraid of being hurt like that again. He repeated all of this again this morning.

My problem....

I would still like to see him. I still miss him terribly. I'm ok alone and I've been trying to move on. I been out with a few guys over the last couple of months and I've had fun with them but...

Do I tell him how I feel or leave it alone?

Honey don't ride the merry go round.

From exsperiance- if it was bad enough to brake up...
Its bad enough not to go back too. The man needs to stop blaming his exwife for his behavior! His behavior is of his own doing. the exwife was'nt there twisting his arm.ohwell

Do your self a favor... Find someone else! flowerforyou

Have you forgotten the definition of insanity. Repeating the same action over again and expecting a different outcome.

Think about it this way. You would want him to be honest with you right? Even if it was not what you wanted to hear. So Don't you think it is better to be up front with him about how you feel.

I will not tell you what to do. It is not my place and I do not know either of you. But on the surface it would seem to be a bad idea to start back up with him.

It is unlikely to be better.

I wish you the best in what ever you decide to do. But I think you probably already know your answer.

Be well,
Wes

I had this same thing with my ex....but he told me he still loved me and wanted to be with me... u just have to look at why u broke up..and look into ur self and see if he really what u want... i know for me the break up was bad enough...and i couldnt deal with him anymore..so i told him i was DONE

Hey Everybody...

Thanks.....this really has helped me think about some things that I haven't already. I think I'm gonna give it a few days and "sleep on it" for a while before I do anything.

Thanks again

If you go back and it has the same outcome, can you take it? If you love him, you love him. But make sure what you invest in him and the relationship is not more than you can afford to lose.

So if he had no intention of asking to see you, or whatever, why would he open up an old wound just to appologise? That is a selfish act. He did it to ease his own concious. Not to make thing better between the two of you..... or else he was upset that he had not heard from you in all that time, and wanted to make sure he was still on your mind...

Dump him..move on...there's a better guy around the corner.

I agree you can't "change" people, but I disagree people can't change. That is a very narrowminded stance and a high-handed place to be. I can change if I want to, but it has to be my own desire and be willing to do the work to make it happen.

U need to weigh the pros and cons:

Why do I want to stay?

Why do I want to leave?

But, in the end it like what my buddy Kenny says:"You need to know when to fold them?"

brokenheart + sad = :angry:

or u can be

happy + flowerforyou = :heart:
