writes: Ok so I posted 'are people more honest when they're drunk?' yesterday and a few people wanted more information. So if your ex boyfriend who broke up with you a week ago tells you he loves you and acts like your bf again for the whole time he's drunk, is he showing his true feelings or confused (because of alcohol) as to what our status is?

There is a chance either way. Peoples views, and actions, can change a lot based on how intoxicated they are. When you are drunk, you can not think "straight". He might have been genuine, but he might have lost the capacity for reason and thus not been able to understand the reasons for you breaking up. The first answer's advice to question him is brilliant. Bring it up, when he is sober. His answer should give you an answer you need. Good luck.

reader, anonymous, writes (15 October 2006): It's really difficult to tell what a person means if they're drunk. He may have forgotten the reason he broke up with you and still remembered the reason that he wanted you.
Maybe he broke up with you because of a reason he didn't want to share with you. He was forgetting the reason he broke up with you beacause his feelings for you were strong.
On the other hand, maybe being drunk helped him relax and show you that he was not happy with his decision earlier.
Why don't you ask him if he remembers what he said. Say "Something you said the other night has been on my mind lately. Do you remember saying...when you were drunk?" Or tell him what he said and ask him if it was true.
Depending on how drunk he was, there's a chance either way. He could've been confused, or he could've been more honest.
