My boyfriend broke up with me ...

It sounds to me that this guy is completely confused with his feelings, and possibly wants to explore other avenues in the same time not let you go entirely. I would suggest let him go and never return to him, you deserve someone that wants you wholeheartedly, and without no other doubts. Run girl and don't look back. Let the immature boy go find his way.

When my ex was breaking up with me, we were kissing. Kissing in a good bye, this ain't going to work type of thing.

Maybe he knows this is something he has to do for himself and you. It's him not you. He was sorta doing a goodbye breakup and he's gona miss you and he has to do this. I think... unless it was a hostile break up... I donno

The closest I did to that was cuddling, and a girl started trying to cause a fight, when there was nothing to fight about. We had been cuddling, she started in on something. and were still cuddling.

I told her, while cuddling that if she didn't stop trying to start fights, this relationship wasn't going to work. I wanted to give it a go, but honestly she was doing a lot of things that made me really want to reconsider dating her. And I reminded her that it wasn't going to work if she kept going... while we cuddled.

I could understand if it was a situation where for whatever reason, you couldn't be together, but you both were still interested... like if she was moving to some place far away that I couldn't go to... I could understand realizing that you have to make that hard decision to break it off; One of those where you don't want to, but are obligated to... But, this doesn't seem like that kind of situation.

That does seem pretty strange.

Its very possible he was feeling bad and feeling like you would be more upset about it. He likely wanted to make himself less upset about it, which likely would result if you felt less upset about it. However you may have a guy who wants to do the friends with benefits thing following the breaking up, you know play time without exclusivity. I would try to talk a bit more about it with him.

maybe he came up with the silly idea that doin all that would help you take it easier.
in a way tryin to supportive

Hmm... it could be he still cares for you, but not loves you and wants to be in a relationship. Maybe he was trying to be a genuine kind guy.

I think he still cares for you as a person, and wanted to be there for you.

I am having a hard time explaining. Maybe you get what I am trying to say?

My ex did that too...

We were together for several years and my sense of it is that it served two functions for him: 1) It comforted him in HIS distress and 2) he wanted to soothe his guilt and didn't want to feel like a bad guy. I think he wanted to keep me from hating him...

it could be but I could not he could have been making excuses but he was probaly doing this to make things easier he doesn't want to let yu go but feels its necessary to leave yu he does have feelings for yu but doesn't want to show it so he did that

My ex did this. Two weeks later he was begging me to take him back and swearing that he still loved me, he just made a mistake. When I asked him about it, before we got back together, he said it was because he wanted to be supportive because he knew it was gonna be hard for me. I think it was because he was still in love with me, he just didn't realize it until I was gone.

cuddle with you as he's breaking up with you?! I'd be hella confused if I were in your shoes. he probably was just trying to make the break up a little easier/comfortable for you.

He's probably an asshole. Or he just wants to get laid.
He can't break your heart and still stay physical with you. I say kick his frilly balls : )
