My boyfriend of 17 months broke up with me nearly four weeks ago.
He already has another girlfriend, however, we are choosing to remain friends, though she isn't happy about it...
We've spoken pretty much every day since we broke up, I have done what I'm not supposed to and begged for him to come back, but we've over come that and had normal conversations.
The Saturday after he ended it, he came and collected some things he left at my house, I was in tears, I couldn't help it, I was still begging, and towards the end, he cried a little too, something he has never done. He says he still cares about me but he's with this other girl now
There was some rowing over messaging but since then we've both calmed down a bit. We had an argument last Thursday, and I finally decided not to send multiple messages out of frustration. I just left him, and by Saturday he text me asking to meet while his girlfriend was at work.
We went to the local park, he tried to push me in the water, we were practically wrestling out in public, we went to the cinema too, he paid for EVERYTHING! He also called his girlfriend as he was driving me home to say he would be late picking her up as he was taking me (he didn't say because he was taking me (she knew he was with me as far as I'm aware) and I did offer to get the bus home). We hugged goodbye
There was a bit of flirty texting when I got home (I waited until he messaged me) but when I (casually) asked him to ask me to hang out the night before next time (my family tried to stop me going out, so next time I want to be able to tell my mum without the screaming and shouting), he said he didn't know if we would be able to hang out again as his girlfriend didn't like that it wasn't helping me get over him (she expected four hours, two of them that were spent watching a movie, to get me over him, really?!) . So I got a bit upset at that.
Then he changed his profile picture on them to Facebook, I know it was stupid to get upset but he never did that for me, despite me asking... since then, there has been some confusing text messages, I asked if he wanted me in his life and if he missed me, and he said what he wants doesn't matter...
...my friends think this means he wants me back... what do you think?
The next day, he still didn't tell me what he wanted (not seriously anyway, just that he wanted to sleep) so I changed tactic slightly, and asked if he wanted to see me again, he said maybe, depending on if his girlfriend was ok with it, and he insisted again today that he does want to be friends
We aren't talking constantly, and I am waiting for him to speak first, just like all the sites say. But seriously, how do I get him back... and I need him so much... and I don't know what to do, please help... don't tell me to leave him alone... this needs to happen
