Broke up with my LDR, but he seems to want to stay in touch when it suits him

A age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My long distance boyfriend broke up with me in December. He has since been in touch and I never normally contact him first, he is usually the one to text every week or so. Now I being the polite and nice person I am, have stayed in touch because the break up was amicable. He says he stays in touch because I am special, and wants to be friends. My question is; what are his motives? He would like to meet me and see me some time, and I would like to see him too, but I just don't think it is a great idea. Probably because I think long distance relationships suck and if we were to get back I would fail!! He says, who knows what may happen, he is still single. Now there has been a rare occasion when I have contacted him to see how he is, and he is very cool, distant almost. It's like he will only contact me when he feels like it (like when he is in the mood). Now, he has not gone out of his way at all to get back with me so I do not think that this is on the agenda, but I can never know his feelings and thoughts, he is not open at all, whereas I am - completely and will never change. He likes that I am honest and open but it is one sided :-( I am not sure whether he would change, and I keep wishing he would find someone else so as not to put me in a position that I may get hurt again or let down etc!

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!

I'd say you have gone from girlfriend to back up plan and so you are treated like more of a convenience than anything else. Saying you're friends just allows him to feel less like a jerk for what he did to you and how he's treating you now.
