I was with my ex-boyfriend for over a year. He broke-up with me in January 2008, and his reason was that he is a full-time college student and active Marine, and did not have time to be in a relationship. Once we broke-up, I told him we could not have contact anymore. Since then, he has periodically been sending me text messages and phone calls trying to have contact with me. I have been polite, and returned his messages, but we had not seen each other. Two nights ago, we had a conversation and he informed me that he was done with the school year, and would have more free time. Yesterday, he finally convinced me to see him and it had been 4 months since the break-up. I spent the whole afternoon with him, and it was as if we had never broken-up. As I was leaving his apartment, he told me that he wanted to spend some more time with me, and would call me in the next coming days. I'm a bit confused, because I don't know what his intentions are, and where this will all lead. I had been doing a good job of moving on and dating, but I still love him and I'm getting the impression that he does too. Any advice from guys/girls on how to approach this situation? Thanks!
Why the confusion? He told you he wanted to spend more time with you. He broke it off. He wants you back. His intentions are quite clear. At the breakup, he told you he didn't have time to be in a relationship, and now he does. He didn't expect you to wait for him (did you? just wondering.), but since you are apparently still available, he wants to resume the relationship. The fact that he is a Marine may have something to do with it. If he were to be deployed anytime soon, there is no doubt that having someone to come home to is a big morale booster and a good reason to get the job done sooner. You still love him. He apparently still loves you. You say you are a bit confused. I am a bit confused why you are confused. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Get him back in your life. Good luck to you both.
