He told you how he felt. You cant change or control him and thats what your trying to do. He was honest with you cuz you asked him to be. Theres nothing more to it, you are now broken up and have been so theres no more relationship. He doesnt have to answer to you for anything. He has every right to have a date if he wants just as you do. You are trying to control something beyond the break up and all that will do is prolong any hurt for YOU, not him. Move on and forget the friends thing for now. Maybe down the road but now you need to let go of it all.

If you love the guy, you will definitely get hurt. But I think it's a good thing that he broke up with you because you don't deserve someone who doesn't know how to love unconditionally. Find someone that will love and accept you for who you are.

As I've learned on a question of my own, you cannot expect a real answer 'cause we don't know how you guys even broke up. We don't know who dumped who and how are things between you two now.\n\nThe truth is probably this, assuming that I have a real insight of the situation from your question: You are still a princess to him and he still finds you beautiful. But you are not HIS princess anymore. He surely does care.\n\nThe fact remains - he is trying to destroy your self confidence so you don't find somebody else. It is a cruel tactic, but the man still cares and he's out of ideas. Talk with him.

It's just like riding a bike. It'll come back to you.  Also, how can you be so sure that it was you who was doing anything wrong?  Sometimes people decide, for whatever reasons, they don't want to be in a relationship any longer or they fall out of love with the person.  Obviously your boyfriend just didn't want to be in a committed relationship.  Yes, it's hurtful to be dumped, especially by somebody you really love and who doesn't have the decency or the balls to sit down and really be honest about why he really left (because he wanted to be able to screw at will) and not leave you trying to figure out what you did wrong.\n\nForget his azz (literally and figuratively).  Pick yourself up, go out with friends, keep moving forward and one day you'll look up and he'll be a distant memory and you'll find someone new.

From my own experience, breaking up with someone to "teach them a lesson" usually ends up with you getting hurt. Maybe he's missing you inm his own way, my boyfriend always says that just because he doesn't show his emotions on the outside doesn't mean that he's not hurting on the inside. Maybe he's trying to clean himself up on his own first, it sounds like he needed to gain so independence from you and be a better person without you before he can be friends/ be woth you again. I mean ask yourself, would you wan thim back in the state you left him in? Just give him some time and space and try and enjoy your own

It sounds to me like he doesn't want you as a girlfriend, but he doesn't want anyone else to have you either.  By leading you on the way he is, he knows that you will stay by him and not date anyone else because of the chance he will say you are a couple again.  I went through it for 6 years.

I know how you feel, I broke up with my boyfriend out of fear of him hurting me also. I don't go to school anymore but my life has went to hell because he cheated on me and I can't trust him anymore. But I miss him and I wish I hadn't ended it. But I know it's for the best. We just need time. Time heals all wounds they say. If you think you can't live without him and you know he'll take you back then go for it. I can't concentrate either and my house is messier than ever but I know with time the sun will shine again and I will be happy for my decision. And if I have faith, maybe God will send the right one my way.

The answer to this question depends on the reason for the break-up. Your break-up sounds like it was nasty.

Both of you sound somewhat immature - why not suggest not getting back together for a while and seeing how you both feel six months or a year down the line.

WOW. I am sorry. It sounds like he had a hell of a time over seas and isn't quite home mentally yet. It really sucks that he broke up with you, but you don't live in a house with a swinging door. Tell him that you'd like to work on your relationship with him, but don't attack him. I'm sure he's had enough attacks on him over the last 6-18 months. BUT... also let him know that you can't just be around for sex. He needs time to heal his mind. The best thing you can do right now is to give him all the time he needs. Just don't get played. Don't have sex with him anymore whether he gets mad or not.

He might be pulling the whole "distant and mean" routine in order to get you to initiate the break-up.  If your boyfriend is particularly lazy, I would bet that this is the case.\n\nThat being said, there is a good likelihood that he is simply at a junction in his life where he is having to divert some of his attention from you and put it on other things.  This happens from time to time and it is something you will have to come to deal with if you ever hope to forge a meaningful and long-lasting relationship with someone.

The problem probably is that your not being direct enough.  You say your doing everything but you haven't done what needs to be done if you want to be with him.  You need to actually talk to him and tell him that it is him you miss and that you want to be a part of his life.  Right now he probably feels like you ended things and that he isn't willing to risk getting dumped again without being sure that this is what you want and that your willing to actually be with him through the bad times and not end things so easily.

Because he isn;t trust worthy.  Say this to him "_______ you told me if i couldn't trust you then we need to break up.  Well i can;t trust you because of the way you're acting and if you're not willing to help me to trust you by not acting that way then guess what, goodbye"  dump him before he cheats and really breaks ur heart.

Why get back together with him?\nThe deal is you broke up with him. He's moving on. You should too.

Well, something has changed. I was in a crazy horrible relationship for way too long, let me help you out. First, have you tried talking to him about this?  Regardless....No one and I mean no one has the right to make you feel second class. No matter how long you have been together. It is sad and scarey when things start going down hill after years together but just because you have invested time is no reason to stay and find out if he is really going to hit you. Love doesn't behave this way. My guess is that he is doing something wrong and all that hiding is making him guilty and he is projecting that onto you. It is a pretty standard jackass tactic. You are better than that.....I wish you the best in making a decision that is safe and fulfilling for you. We only get one life.
