My ex stares at me all the time... Is he mad, upset?

Question

So me & my ex boyfriend andres have been fighting since last Sunday. Before we were fighting he said he likes me again but he doesn't know if he can trust me again , and also he misses me. Now that were fighting, things have been slightly different..more strange. He keeps staring at me like he's upset/confused everyday.. why is he staring at me. My friend eddie told me to breakup with my newer boyfriend john and I did because I saw andres always looking at me sad when I was near John..and John was untrustworthy. Eddie has been puting his arm around andres and has been acting like his best friend tryin to help him. But andres knows I still like him. Is andres upset that I dated someone else? Does he think I moved on? Why does he keep on staring at me? Or is he just mad though he looks upset? Can you guys please tell me what you think, I'm really upset and confused. Please help. Any advice I would appreciate so much. Thank you

To me it sounds like you must have done something to because his mistrust towards you, and that he may have been the one to break it off with you? If that was the case then my guess would be that he's staring at you because he is upset that you dated someone else and that to him may show that he was right in leaving you but it hurts all the same because he obviously still has feelings for you. If you were the one who broke up with him then he's staring at you because he wants you back, simple as that.

I'd be careful though, he could be confusing his jealousy over you having that other boyfriend, for feelings of wanting you back. I have never re-dated an ex in my life. I have always been the one to break up with my boyfriends (even one lasting 5 years) and I have never gone back. I always criticized the relationships that couldn't make it work so they break up and go back out numerous times before finally ending it for good. I say why not just save yourself the heart break and leave old boyfriends that, exes. BUT I don't know your whole situation, as I am not you, so you can take the advice or leave it. It initially comes down to you and if you and this ex are already fighting and your NOT even dating... that should say something right there.
