If he doesn't want me back then why doesn't he just put me out of my misery?

Question - (19 January 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 19 January 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Why can ex’s be so cruel?! The way I see it is that they either want to give it another go or they don’t! My ex dumped me then came back 6 months later saying he still loved me and perhaps we didn’t have to split up, that it was just a difficult time and he was being stubborn. He says that we are meant to be with each other, made for each other, I am beautiful, he pictures marriage, kids and a house with me.

BUT, he has not asked for me back, I feel like he is stringing me along to keep his options open. After all, if he loved me, he would have said from the beginning after he realised it was a mistake and we would already be back together. We have now been back in touch for 3 months, and still I am no closer to knowing what his intentions are. I have asked him, and he has a good way of avoiding the answer, so I never get the answer. To me it is simple, yes we are back together or no we are not. I have told him I still love him and want him back, so he does know how I feel.

If he doesn’t want me back, why doesn’t he put me out of my misery? I am so down about this, mixed signals, etc. Shall I just move on? I love him so much though.

Ed1337 agony auntSadly some guys will say exactly what you want to hear when trying to get back together after a split, then after a short while they revert back to how they were the first time round.

I'm not saying your partner is the same, but if you have any doubts about him then you need to sit him down and have a long chat with him, don't let him string you along only to hurt you again later.

Do what you "feel" is the right thing to do, nobody can give you suitable guidance because you will have to live with the consequences (and not them). From what you have described, you want to either force some progress or close "the book".
