when a man says i should have married you and you're his ex what does he mean?

[toffee]

i haven't seen my ex in 8 years. it had been almost 5 years since we talked on the phone. he was military and live in another city (same state). recently, we've talked on the phone.

 

even though he is living with someone, he told me whenever he thinks of remarrying of all the women he knows i come out on top. that is flattering! but, can i believe him? or is he just trying to run a game on me?

 

give me some insight on the male psyche (especially you men).

 

blessings in God's presence daily!

It means: I should have married you in the past. Not now.

 

People change especially men from the military. 10 years is a long time ago. You were inlove with a completely different person. This new guy who is trying to enter your life is in a mess and needs emotion/physical support.

 

If you want my advice: don't talk to him anymore. Leave him in the past.

the truth is i made the initial contact by letter. i had been thinking about him and decided to contact him. he rsponded by calling me after he received my letter. so, it's not like to sought me out.

 

but, maybe you're right. i'm not arguing with you. i just want some honest input, which you are giving me. agian, thanks!

 

knowing this additional detail, what do you think? still feel like i should forget about him?

[hurtingandconfused]

Yes, let him be.

 

Life is short, enjoy it.

thanks for your response! maybe you're right. at least now i have another opinion other than mine.

 

always be blessed in God's presence!
