So this January I broke up with my ex because I felt his heart wasn't in it anymore and that he wasn't giving the relationship the same attention as he used to and there were many other reasons for ending this seven year relationship.
I tried to make it work with him after because I wanted him to appreciate what we had. He didn't want to come back after. We broke up in January and now it is July. My ex and I had been in contact this whole time, as we are good friends. But there would be times when I would cut contact to give myself a break.
All the sudden my ex talks about this phase of him not wanting to get together is ending quickly. Turns out he had a one night stand a couple of days before saying he wanted to reconcile. He now says he doesn't want to lose his best friend and appreciates what we have.
Last year he said the same thing about not wanting to lose his best friend after he broke up with me after I confronted him about coming home at 4 am and taking an Uber with another woman to his university from downtown.
Does he actually care or am I just being used? Should I move on? I am so invested I feel I have lost perspective on this.
He went from not caring about speaking to me and not reaching out (for about five months) to wanting to speak to me Daily and consider therapy together.
Seems very very odd to me but I don't know what to make of it. Also his good friend is moving to another country in a month.
Thank you.
