Why does he think it’s a joke?

My ex was the dumper (34) from a 4 year relationship about 2 weeks now.

I didn’t want to break up but I wasn’t going to force him to stay and so our breakup was sad but very respectful and he asked if we could be friends, I told him I don't know if I could. Because eventually he will talk to women again, probably sooner than I’d be ready to face etc.

anyway we have been talking every day since the breakup and he’s been ofc hanging with chicks and stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I finally said “okay I think I do need space to process things and work on moving on, because I’m still emotionally invested and I don’t want to subject to myself to getting hurt”

he said “well I hope it’s not forever”
and I said “idk prob at least a few months”and he said “haha yeah alright we will see about that”

like why is he doubting my ability to cut him off? Why is that even funny? Lol.
Like this isn’t some game. I’ve been home since the break up doing what girls typically do and grieving the loss of 4 years while he’s doing the typical guy thing and going out and surrounding himself with women. I still really love him, and I wish he’d be more supportive in my space since he’s the reason it exists.

Why does he think it’s a joke?
