Question - (19 November 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 19 November 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My ex came over and we watched tv for an hour and cuddled on the bed. We broke up over a month ago because he had commitment issues but he insisted that we still remain friends. When we were cuddling he told me how much he missed me and he started kissing me on the cheek. I asked him what that was supposed to mean and he told me that he wasnt making a move on me, he was just showing me how much he missed me. He started acting like my boyfriend again, like holding my hand and stuff but i know that he does not want a relationship. I still have feelings for him but I know that he doesnt want a girlfriend right now. Can anyone tell me why he is acting this way? Does he want friends with benefits or something?

Mummy to be agony auntYea i think that is exactly what he is after, he doesn't want to be in a relationship with you but at the same time he doesn't want you to forget about him and move on so by him saying you can still be friends is his way of keeping a hold on you. He also wants the sex and everything that comes with a relationship but knows because he has told you that he isn't ready for that he can get up and leave at any time and you can't say or do anything about it.

Because you love him you will put up with this but it won't be for long. I went through the exact same thing and you will find the strength to turn round one day and say no. Good luck x
