I had no contact w/ex bf & he finally texted me. however......

about a month ago my ex bf of over 3 years broke off with me. I had tried to reason with him and ask for another chance and well basically speak from my heart. It did not work. After 2 weeks and we were texting here and there sometimes he text me first or sometimes I texted him first. nothing serious always just how's the weather kinda stuff .goodnight or good morning have a good day etc. then well u know how it goes and we ended up being together a few days and he was very discouraged about giving it another chance but that he really wanted to see if it could work. he had agreed to it and and said let's just take things slow and see where things go and said he didn't to really be without me having regrets. then he had to go away for the weekend said he wanted to see me when he got back. when he got back he texted me late that night and said... that he will always love me that he doesn't think it will work out in the long run. which is exactly what he said to me when he broke it off with me initially. so bummed and I told him that I was sad and wished that you wouldn't do this and that I didn't understand but that clearly has mind was telling him one thing and his heart was telling him another and that I needed to leave him be so that he could work things out within himself. I did not contact him at all and exactly one week later he texted me and said. ....I'm sorry for the way things turned out and I hope we will sit down and have a cold one someday........ok please Help!!! What does that mean. Is he sincerely sorry or is he just using that as an intro to see what my response would be. Or is he feeling bad he hurt me or is he trying to clear his conscious. Rid himself of guilt ya know. Or am I being negative? He did finally text me. My sis says hey...I'm on his mind and he is giving me an inch not a Mile. Can anyone tell me what to make of this text? And what to do? I did reply and I said....thank u that would be nice!

It means exactly what he said.

Nothing more, do not read into it.

 

He means that things obviously aren't great between you (because you're broken up.) this doesn't mean he wants to get back together, he is just acknowledging a fact. Just because he's 'sorry' things didn't work out, that's not him saying he wants you back. That's saying he's accepted it's done.

 

He is 100% relieving himself of the guilt he feels. And that's it.

 

 

 

Good luck.

Thank u. Hard to hear. but I was thinking that may be it. But then on the other hand he has already told ke he was sorry several times and. Whats up with him saying us having a drink one day? I don't know. Its just weird...the day before he texted me we seen eaxhother in passing on the road. Ya know locked eyes for about 2 seconds. And then the day of his text earlier that day a mutual friend had came by to fix my garage door and I was surprised to hear that he broke it off with me and what a foo he was and made a comment about how much weight I have lost this past summer which I had already lost half of the weight before the break up.I just wonder if that friend ended up saying something to him about seeing me and how good I looked etc. it just seems odd timing of his text ya know. Plus he is so damn stubborn. He will not admit he is wrong. I just don't know. I could reallly use all the advice I could get.
