Question - (30 December 2009) 5 Answers - (Newest, 2 January 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Which one says the truth about my ex who I recently reconciled with?

When I am with him, he doesn't want me to do anything but sit or lie beside him. He stares at me all the time and like to cuddle the whole day. When I am not beside him, he gets up to look for me and would hug me. Before he goes away, one peck is not enough, he would kiss me again before he disappears at the door. And would remind me to lock the door and would tell me to take care.

But when he's out of the door, I don't hear from him in days..sometimes weeks. If I text him, he would reply so fast but only if I text him first. Sometimes he remembers to say hi but on rare occasions only. But he would always be nice on the phone.

What do you think, does he really care or not? If not, i wont speak to him ever again until he gets the point that I am finished. I have no guts to dump him.

Thank you guys for replying to my post.

I knew all along I am not getting anything from this jerk but misery and heartache but I always end up talking to him and seeing him. Anyway, he never even called or said hi on New Year's eve and we never spoke since the 26th of December. But yesterday, he sent me a message @ 11pm to say Happy New Year. I didn't reply. I read the answers to this post again and even though it breaks my heart not to wish him back, I feel this is for the best.

To Lovelife1437, I feel I don't have to ask him anymore where I stand in his life. I am afraid to get an answer I won't like. He rejected me before when I asked him directly if he wants me back or not. This is the 3rd time actually that we are sort of seeing each other again. CaringGuy is somehow right. If at all this guy cares about me, a single day would've been too much for him to bear not to hear from me.

What do you think?

You're probably thinking he's inconsiderate and insensitive but ask him directly and see what he says. Depending on his response, act according to your heart. He is your ex for a reason and since you've recently reconciled, maybe he's not sure if the relationship will work again and doesn't want to get attached so if he becomes an ex-ex then it wouldn't be so bad the second time around. On the other hand, if you're giving the relationship a second chance wholeheartedly then make sure you're communicating it clearly so that there is no misunderstanding. Good Luck! :-)

No, he doesn't, not really. If you're not hearing from your boyfriend in a few days, let alone weeks, then he's not interested at all other than to use you occasionally. End it and move on, please don't leave him lingering or you'll be no better than he is. Be brave and end it.
