Boyfriend needed space, don't know how to handle what he's doing

[leigh186]

my boyfriend and I hit a rough patch, had a bad argument and told me he needed some space to think things through. I told him I respected that, and obliged, not contacting him. that was about two days ago. I've been going out and having fun with friends (all visible to him via Facebook). this morning I woke up and his Facebook was deleted. I was also curious, and checked to see if he re-activated his dating profile via my friend's account, and it was back up. he had no way of knowing that I checked it with her profile though, as she is set to private and does not allow other people to see when she looks at their profiles. that was pretty much my breaking point. I reactivated my profile as well, and about 20 minutes later he texted me, asking if we could meet tomorrow to talk. I also had my friend check again, and he had deleted his dating profile.

 

i love him so much, and believe he does love me, but I'm so confused. anyone else had experience with this? I have no idea what he's thinking and I don't really know what to say to him when we meet up with him

Sounds like he is quite confused as well. His quickness to jump on the dating wagon when he was taking some "space" tells you that there is a desire in him somewhere to start seeing someone else.

 

Him jumping back when you put yours up shows some jealousy on his part, pending he saw it before texting you as you infer. Oftentimes when the dumper leaves they want to explore while having the dumpee wait just in case it's not as good as what they expect.
