Author edgar allan bro Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think it's more to see how far they can push your boundaries. In your case, you ex legitimately made it sound like he wanted a second chance, but he never outright said it. He said he "make a mistake in the spur of the moment." He was just saying that stuff because he knew it would get your attention, and you would listen to him. Before you knew it, he was asking you to block him. So your ex got what he wanted, which was an audience. I think that's my biggest challenge right now is accepting that there are people out there like him, who will hurt you for as long as it is convenient for them. Well, he brought this up towards the end of our conversation to be fair. As well as some other things. He said that if he ''knew for sure that we would be together forever, he would drop everything and come back'' but alas, he's too scared of wasting our time again, and hurting me in the process. He said a lot of things to give me hope - that he would have the courage to ask me out again once he sorts out his life, etc. He always says these things just as the conversation is ending. I think someone else on LS used this metaphor that I liked quite well ''Oh Hope, you multiple headed hydra. Time to resharpen my axe.'' Link to post Share on other sites
No Limit Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes, you are being played. You're plan B. Cut all ties to him, block if necessary. Seriously, him asking you for hookups was a dead giveaway. Link to post Share on other sites
