Cried about what I said even though he's moved on to another girl?

My ex broke up with me. I was devastated. We dated for 1.5 years and thought we were going to be married. Then, within a few weeks, he just breaks it off without trying to work through it together.

He developed feelings for another girl within a week. Convenient, right? He says he just fell out of love and didn't leave me for her.

But anyway, it's been a month and a half. And we hadn't been talking (other than our talks for closure), when all of the sudden he starts a conversation on aim. Says he feels bad, asks how I am doing, says I'm the only one that understands him, asked about my halloween costume. and the next day he came over to borrow an item from me. and later asked about my mom's birthday.

I'm still hurting. He doesn't love me and is attracted to the other girl still. So, I told him he can't do those sorts of things. That it comes off as stringing me along. And, I'm trying to move on, he can't drag me back. And that doing so would be a douche bag move.

And according to a mutual friend, he took that as me calling him a douche bag and was crying about it today. I mean, it's been a month and a half. What does him crying about that mean?

Is it just that he cares about me and feels bad for what he did, and nothing more?

This has little to do with you and almost everything to do with him. He feels bad about doing what he thought was the right thing to do. It's called cognitive dissonance. He needs to learn to accept his consequences and learn from his mistakes. He didn't cry because he thought you called him a name, when clearly you didn't. he cried because it's aaaaallllllllllll about him and he can't bear the thought that he's not supremely moral and right on this issue. Don't feed into it. Start to move on, even if you're just pretending to move on. Let him feel the consequence. Hopefully he'll come out the other side stronger and more mature.

Question Asker Do you think he'll ever come back to me? - A month ago
Answerer Sorry to say it's probably a coin toss. He may realize he was an immature fool and try to get back what he threw away. He may mature and realize his feelings for you were based on less developed feelings of affection and move on. But the only thing I'm sure of is that this man has some emotional maturing that he needs to go through. Until that's done, he won't be much good for you or any woman. - A month ago
Question Asker So, basically, if he ever does want me back, it won't be for years. - A month ago
Question Asker So, a few days ago, he told a friend of his that if he and I got back together, he could see himself marrying me still.
but, he doesn't want to get back together it seems.

What do you think? - A month ago
Answerer I think he needs to spend some time out of the relationship and so do you. Don't get stuck on getting him back quickly. It has to be for the right reasons or you'll lose him all over again... and again. Give it a few months to cool off and you'll both have new perspective. It's not easy, but you'll respect yourself for it. - A month ago

He wants his cake and to eat it too. He's trying to have a connection with you AND with this girl. What his motivation is and how much it means about how he feels for you doesn't really matter in my book. You need to judge what is right for you and you are completely correct. You need to totally break it off with him. He isn't thinking about what is good for you. If he was, he would not be subjecting you to this. Do what is best for you and being around him is not it.

this sucks. well, he feels bad? why? because the other girl and him didn't work well?
if he doesn't love you, cut all contact with him off.
that's the way to do it
i honestly think if he isn't man enough to go up to you face toface and say let's workt his out, it's over. I'm sorry.
i cut off all contact with my ex bf's on fb.
yeah...he feels bad but honestly . you forgot to say 'if you want to work it out, be man enough to talk to me face to face and work this out or jus tlet it go'-
when you two can be less emotional about it, it will work out. I wish you good luck. I'm single and I try to be clear with what I want in a relationship and when both parties are less emotional then you two can talk straight. and tell him you didn't mean to call him a douche, but yeah, people misunderstand. so talk to him if you want to work it out.

I agree with mikess314's comment. Regardless of his reasons for crying, it sounds like your ex has a LOT of maturing to do. I realize how hard it must be though, my ex conveniently started dating someone else right away too. if he's coming back to you now, then he most likely realizes that A) the grass isn't greener or that B) he needs you to make him feel better about what he did. My ex is suddenly saying 'hi' to me in school and wanting to hang around my friends and me at social functions. Sure, sometimes I see him and it still hurts but mostly I know that all he wants is for me to be nice back, be friendly and let his conscience rest easy for the crappy things he did to me. I'm not willing to do that. look out for yourself and I think distancing yourself from your ex is the best move. you need time away to heal completely and move on. don't let familiarity or comfort fool you into going back to someone who doesn't have your best interests at heart.

Question Asker Well, I think he does feel bad for hurting me... - A month ago

What he did could be eating at him or maybe ( and I'm leaning more towards this ) he's realizing the grass isn't as green as he thought. Kiddos to you for being honest with him although I know it's hard you had to create some sort of boundaries. This is what he wanted and you gave it to him . . . You have to let him deal with it. I hope you don't think I'm a complete jerk , but you can't care about whether or not he was crying it just puts you in a bad place. Your still hurting you have to nurture your feelings before you can worry about him or anyone else. Maybe he was confused when he shelved your relationship , but that's just it he SHELVED your relationship. I'd let him keep playing that violin without batting an eye. The ball is in your court right now I hope you make the right move . . . And let it be the matter of logic instead of the heart . Good Luck
