Ex is confusing me, does he still love me?

[Anonymous]

My ex and I broke up September last year, we have a child together so we co-parent. When we do see eachother, he randomly buys me my favourite drink or favourite food without me asking and he still wears the bracelet I gave him, he also asks if we can catch up on the shows that we used to watch together. I can't ask him straight out because I know he won't give me a straight answer. I need a guys perspective.

It's possible that your ex is still interested in you romantically and is trying to maintain a connection with you through these small gestures. However, it's also possible that he simply values the friendship and shared history you have and wants to maintain that connection, even if it's not in a romantic capacity. It's difficult to say for sure without more information. If you're interested in rekindling a romantic relationship with him, you could try talking to him directly about your feelings and see if he expresses similar feelings.

Sounds like he still cares for you. I'm guessing it was more your idea to break up than his. Plus, he's trying to be friendly with you, which is best for co-parenting.

For many guys, it's hard to get rid of feelings for the mother of your child.

He broke up with me

Interesting. Maybe he's struggling with commitment issues. Enjoy what he does, don't push him, and see what happens. Most important is your child... 2 parents are better than 1.

Sounds like he’s looking to see if you notice and will make comment. He’s running game at this time. No negative comment is better than saying something out of step. Chill and see.

Maybe, he cares about you.

But so what?

You need to figure out, mutually, if you two can make a good team, with some adjustment to address issues that broke you up. Otherwise, focus on building a good strong nuclear family and move on emotionally.

it's a good time to grow up...

He can still care about you as a person and the mother of his child even if he isn't "in love" with you. Unless he's progressing that he still loves you, take it as him still caring about you as the mother of his child and, hopefully, a friend still

Was he as nice as when you were together? Its not uncommon to still have lust for someone who has been jilted. I'm saying this from personal experience

If I had to guess, Id say yes.
