So my question is, when the part of our friendship in which we became the closest was based on our hidden feelings for each other for years, does he truly just want to be friends? Can he really have no ulterior motive for the day he is single or lonely?
He still reaches out to me. I don't initiate contact with him. At first I ignored him hoping it would stop. Then it didn't so I responded to him so he'd see I was fine and available to him hoping it would make him lose interest and it still hasn't stopped. Whether it's a text, phone call, email, or something on Facebook (and even the times we've seen each other) he's reaching out to me. The contact from him is about once a week. I am trying the not responding thing again.
I am just very confused if he broke up with me because he "didn't want a relationship and felt trapped" (code for I don't want a relationship with YOU) and had that girl he met working out of town over at our old apartment the next week, then why does he worry about contacting me? Also, guys (no offense), are you really silly enough to think that being friends with your ex even though you were friends before would work and that be something your new girl would be OK with?
It's hard to believe that he literally just wants a friendship but I'm curious if you think he may.
