Is he using me as a comfort blanket?

Question - (25 February 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 26 February 2011)
A female Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Well was with a guy for five years, engaged, lived together for two, he broke it off cos we weren't getting on for our last month together.I had been away studying and when I came back I do think that he enjoyed not having to worry bout anyone bar himself. We've been split up seven months! I've tried not being in contact with him, the most we haven been in touch was two weeks. I've told him that I need to have no contact to move on, yet he will still text. He has told me he still loves me and I believe that he still does. But he is happy wi the way things are, the fact that we are still in touch. I asked him if he did meet someone else that he would tell me as I wouldn want to hear it from anyone else. He told me that this would not happen as if he wanted to be in a relationship he would be with me! I am totally confused, I seem unable to ignore his messages. Some people think that he is using me as a comfort blanket whilst others say that he may have realised the error of his ways. I do think I need to completely ignore him in order for him to realise that he will actually lose me and everythin we had. What do you think?

Withdrawing communication from him might actually help. Let's him know you have your own life. Just don't respond to his comm all the time. Make him sweat a bit.

I doubt the reason he broke off a five year engagement was because of one month of fighting but okay. He knows how much you love him and he's taking advantage of that so don't respond so you can move on. Its over.
