I have known my ex for about 10months, and we became exclusive but after 2months of being together he dumped me! It was out of the blue, and all he said was "I can't do this". Fast forward a couple of months, and we chat every once and a while. He found out through a mutual friend that I decided to stay at my current job instead of doing a travel assignment, and then sent me an email that it was crazy that I didn't do the travel assignment because that was a large reason that he broke up with me (we live 5hours apart as is and I was going to be across the country). Now he tells me that he misses me and wants to see me again. He gets jealous that I'm seeing someone else. And has even said that he thinks he made a mistake by breaking up with me, WTF? I am confused; is he thinking about getting back together? I want to but I also don't want to waste my time or get hurt again!
Update: So I was supposed to go visit him this coming weekend, and got an email this morning that said he didn't think it was going to happen. Its his brother's 30th bday, and the family is having a celebration. I know its for a good reason that it can't happen

Update: but I wanted to see him, and was looking forward to getting out of town. I don't really know how to respond to his email?.

Just say, "ok, have fun" Show him it doesn't bother you. Dont make a big deal about it. Just don't plan on visiting him for now. Wait for him to initiate the visit to ur area.
He already told you he is thinking about getting back with you, so I think he already answered your question to that. As for your fear of getting hurt, thatz an easy fix. Don't let him back in so easily. Just continue what you are doing. If you are seeing someone else, then see someone else. But keep in touch with your ex. He told you he thinks he made a mistake, well show him that he's right. And he will have to work to get your love back. Show him that it won't be easy this time around, and "Im sorry" isn't going to be enough. If you mean that much to him, then he will keep trying. And when he does, and you see he is true about it, then break up with your current, and give your ex a chance. But if you don't want to get back with your ex, then make it clear, that its really over, and you've already moved on. He obviously still loves you, and misses you. Don't lead him on.
