Why would he add me back?

[Anonymous]

My ex boyfriend had a bad break up months ago
He tried to get back together but I refused
And he got angry and blocked me on everything

Today he added me back on social media
And messaged me saying:
- he's sorry
- he's just angry because i moved on so quick and he couldnt
- he knows we can't be together anymore and he doesn't want to
- he wants to be civil and mature
- he's doing his own thing
- he doesn't want to interfere with my life
- he doesn't need or want anyone
- he recognizes I've always been there for him
- he wants to move on
- he wants to have each other on social media

Why would he want to have each other on social media if he wants to move on?
Why would he add me again?
It doesn't make sense

He secretly still wants you/relationship

He wants to move on

Sounds like he'd at least like to be on cordial terms

Crazy but it happened to me too, he message me and we started arguing... But it seemed like he wanted to talk more... Maybe he wants to restart things

He said he wants to move on and doesn't want anyone
But why would he unblock me and try to add me again and wants me on his social media if he wanted to actually move on?

There is a saying "make peace with your past" I guess he is doing that

[devilish-cutie]

He still cares about you and wants you in his life one way or another... he probably would want to make up but he will settle for friends/civil

Usually people move on by deleting their ex right?

[devilish-cutie]

people can move on while also being in ok relationship with someone, often when eg. kids ae involved, you have to have some kind of relationship aven tho you broke up and moved on

[FilmGuy93]

How are you confused right now? The guy is trying to make amends with you.

[TheThingALing]

Could be either. Could also be that he feeling sexually frustrated

[poetic_pisces]

he wants a rebond
