My ex boyfriend of 2 1/2 years told me he was moving on about a month ago. I met with him after a week or a half after that and told him all that I had realized about our relationship and how I thought we could fix things. He started crying when I was telling him what I had thought about our relationship and that I wanted to get back together. When he left my house, he told me that he would be in contact. I havent heard from him until today. He text me to tell me hi and Merry Christmas. He also told me that he hoped I had a great day. I did not expect to hear from him at all. Im not sure what it means that he texted me. Did he text me because he misses me or is he just stringing me along?

I think it's a case of this relationship being over. He wanted to end it, and he has done. I think you now need to focus on your own life and move on. It will take time, but your Mr Right is still out there. Go find him instead.

No he's not stringing you along at all. In fact he has been very straightforward. He told you that he would be in contact and he was as he texted you to wish you a merry christmas. He also told you prior to that that he is moving on and he has also kept his word on that as he doesn't call you except on a special occasion which he did out of respect and courtesy. Breaking up can be just as hard on the one that is doing the breaking up and that is why he was crying. As hard as it may be to go through you have to accept that for right now it is in fact over. The best thing you can do is to be dignified and let him go. Sure he might come around or he might not. But you can't live in the future, in the what ifs, you got to live in the now. He's been very frank with you. Be strong and let it be. Everything will work itself out.

I'm sorry but I think he is stringing you along, his SMS out of the blue could be his way of keeping some contact with you in the event what he has left you for moves on. By this I believe he's met someone else, moved out, cried because he felt guilty, smsd you to keep something open between you. Girlfriend, i would move on..... I don't know the entire story, why he left or what he told you but if after 2 & 1/2 years he has moved out, the only explanation is that he's just that into you. A man will never move out or walk away from a relationship that he doesn't want to make work, sorry but I would try to

move on from him. Goodluck
