Am I being used and strung along?

[raeaskstuff]

My ex and I have been back in contact for about two weeks now. After being in no contact for about a month. I broke it and I’m the one that cut him off. Well things were going ok until Valentine’s Day when he wished me a Valentine’s Day and then went silent for the whole day. I thought it was sketchy then found out that he was with another girl. He had been saying the things he used to say to me and more all while he’s been talking to her for about 2 months now. He started talking to her in December he claims when we were still in contact and having sex. I found out yesterday he was talking to her after he told me he wasn’t talking to anyone (I know right) well he lives with his mom and she spent the night over his house and she’s posted him on her ig. He told me after I found out that he’s not with either one of us and that they aren’t even together and “just friends”. And that he didn’t tell me because he knew how I would react. And I asked him if they were still talking before and he said no. Why not just tell me the truth in the beginning when I asked, so I could know what the situation was. He doesn’t know I know but she was with him last night and he’s still trying to hide it from me. If I need something he will do it and he wants to see me. But all the things he said he missed doing with me, he seems to be doing them with her now. I don’t know how to feel I’m just hurt. how could he move on a couple of weeks after we broke up. He still answers me when I text and if he likes her more why does he? If he misses me and wants to be in my life like he says. Why is she the one getting his attention rn. We have deep history I’ve known him since I was 16 and he was 15, I’ll be 23 in 2 weeks. Is she a rebound or am I just a side piece now. I don't know anymore. She likes like his other exes and I don’t I was the one ALL of his friends were attracted to. I’m attractive physically, Why won’t he just tell me to move on and stop saying he still has feelings for me.

there's nothing wrong with having feelings for him or him for you. considering how long you've know each other and that you've kept in touch for so long. i would just keep an open mind and continue to take care of yourself and at the same time remain mindful of how you're feeling about the whole situation. if you've known him this long then there's no harm in being honest with how his behavior is affecting you and your friendship/relationship with him.

I think the way he is behaving is more of a waste of time than anything, mostly if he can't show simple trustworthiness, he's lying about small things which will only mean it's almost certain he will lie about bigger issues, sounds like stringing a long to me, actions speak better than words and his indecisiveness only shows you aren't the easy to choose option, you are just an option

I don't think you know how to break up
