A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Why does my ex husband text me then ignore me the next. He has a girlfriend and says he loves her, but meets me to talk. He told me the other day the have issues they might not be able to work out. He also told me not to text and he has my number if he needs me.

How can you tell if your ex husband wants you back even if he has a girlfriend?

you are his back up- his emotional hold on you means only one thing- you will not move on with your life. your ex is such a clever man, just read him well. he gives you false hope of something (nothing) yet is having sex with the gf. come on, you wasted too much time already pondering about the whys with him. your life is precious, go out and find a good unattached man. i believe you deserve it, don't you. your ex is nothing but an ex. keeping you around so that you do not move on. clever man, thank god you now know his modis operandi. end "whatever" you think you have. this is just plain nothing .

girl, stop hoping. and start living. he is with someone else. the sooner you believe it the better. you have wasted too much time on this emoitonal blackmailer in any event, time to dust yourself of him for good, and move on.

A reader, anonymous, writes (21 July 2009):

You two went through a divorce so why would you want to know if your ex husband wants you back. You divorced for a reason, like the relationship didn't work.

He has a new girlfriend, that speaks volumes about the answer to your question. He texts you and then ignores you because he doesn't want to give you the power in whether or not he is speaking to you that day or that week. He is probably still using you for emotional support as he is comfortable with you, but he clearly has moved on and so should you. Stop talking to him or answering his texts, unless there are children involved you do not owe your ex husband anything, support, friendship or otherwise.

Don't let him use you for a back up or to boost his ego when he is not getting along with the girlfriend.

Honeypie agony auntI think he likes for you to hang on to the hope that you two might get together. He also likes to control you, even if you two are no longer married.. That speaks volumes..

Why would you want this guy back?

i think he just likes to talk to you. He obviously still thinks of you as a friend. You are a good person for listening to him and being there, but I can see how this is confusing for you. However to me, it seems like he only wants you when he needs you.
