Some break up, thinking they had something better, and then, when it isn't, those DOUCHBAGS come back, with the "we're still friends, right?" to kind of get back with you, thinking you are stupid, and will take their loser, lame ass back, when he dumped you, and it didn't work out!
Some manipulating fcks, use "EMOTIONAL" things, and play on your natural, caring, loving feelings, to "SNEAK" back, and make you think it will be different!!
Lying pricks!! Manipulative bastards!!
I loved that you maybe realized that, saying "I don't see a real reason for being friends. . "
He probably wants to keep the relationship for different potential reasons:
1) he wants to keep you as a side option for an on and off relationship
2) he genuinely still values your friendship you had during the relationship and he wants to keep the friendship
3) he is desperate not to lose you but won't admit it directly so he wants to be friends instead and then will secretly be relieved if you take him back in a relationship again or just be relieved your not out of his life completely
4) he could have other motives such as keeping you as a friend to develop a friends with benefits relationship or maybe a platonic friendship (where you basically cuddle and things like that)
I personally like being friends with exes, as long as we were nice to each other till the end and it ended with respect (not cheating or so).
The people I date/are in relationships with are a type of friend, sometimes we get to know each other super well, more than some other friends I have. I don't see why I would stop the relation all together just because we did not fit as a couple and don't have sex or do romantic stuff together anymore.
s If you weren’t friends to begin with then don’t do it. Maybe he’s trying to confuse you, by being around, see if you’re over him and possibly manipulate you into getting back with him..

u It is a way for him to minimize the guilt about whatever he has done to you.
It's not a bitter thing and I don't think he's trying to manipulate you. He probably genuinely appreciated what you did for him and wants to keep you in his life. There is nothing wrong with that.
It is now up to you. Don't feel pressured to be friends if you don't want to, but there's nothing wrong with being friends with your ex. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy and he is not entitled to your friendship.
Like I have said I think your I'll be a beautiful girl it sounds like you have a heart of gold and you probably helped him so many times and he's just needed like that he knows he can never get that any place else that's just what it sounds like me I don't have any idea because I know neither one of you but with all the questions that I've answered of yours you kind of have painted a picture that's what I feel
Because you got him through a bad time, meaning that even though it's over between you two, you thinks he may need you to do it again, he may be latching on to the one good thing that happened to him. He might just need you to be his friend and act as a stable point, a rock, an anchor, etc. to keep him grounded.
Ask yourself this, would you miss him if he is no longer around.
Would you miss talking to him, do you seek advice from him, do you value his opinion.
What if anything can he offer you to make your life better?
Sense of humor, compassion, good listener?
If the answer is no, then just move on.
It sort of sounds like all of the above was missing in the first place.
Because he wants to string you along for the nights he thinks he can dial you up for a quick and easy bootycall. Let's be honest, if he appreciated it that much why are y'all no longer together now that he isn't in his situation anymore? Uh huh!
There can be subjective interpretations to the word friends. Add to that coz he is your ex so trust comes complimentary. I think it would benefit both ways. Anyway if there ain’t no harm and you have control over yourself then why not at least give it a try baby.
Woah, do not go to that area. CUT OFF TIES WITH HIM. He either just wants sex or wants to feel less guilty about the bad things he did to you. You do not need him, move on!
Depending how long you were together he may feel there was a friendship built alongside the relationship.
Honestly, if there wasn't it was doomed from the start...
Tell him no hun, or just say yes and then ignore him haha
He's definitely feeling some guilt for some reason, and is hoping to assuage that guilt by "being friends" with you.
He wants the door to a relationship with you to exist. Sounds desperate, I feel bad for him wanting to waste his time like that. He's your Ex, makes no sense
Yeah, what's the point?
The ONLY reason he stays connected is a simple false hope that one day you'll cave and give him sex again. LOSER. What's called a 'beta-orbiter'. He's still hanging onto a thread.
He sees you as a space to fill, when he can't find nothing else ✌️
Chance of s future relationship he likes to be friends with you even though it doesn’t work out it in a relationship form. Gamer buddies many reasons
Don't be friends with him. At the end of the day you know what's best for you.
Bye bye 👋
s Maybe it's because he thinks you guys are better off as friends than a couple. But if you don't want to be friends with him, then cut him off.
I had the exact same issue and my ex was shitty and I became shitty being around him. sounds like he might try to keep you around to use as support or just on the back burner.
Nah. Never stay friends with an ex. Plus, it would be weird when you got into a new relationship. Having the ex as a friend could be a deal breaker for a new boyfriend.
Maybe he feels that since you two were more than friends that being just friends wouldn't be a big deal. Being friendly and being friends are 2 separate things and he may have them mixed up in his head.
