my ex told one of his friends that he feels guilty for hurting me and that he loves me and his friend said she loves you and he said o know she does .. he told another friend that he sees me as a really good friend and that he cares about me a lot and he will always care for me & he doesn't want a relationship for a while (years) .. he also said that he is going to ignore me until all my feelings for him go away .. one of his friends is going on a cruise with his girlfriend and my ex .. my ex said that he does not want to feel like a third wheel so his friend said why don't you bring your ex meaning me and he said yeah ask her if she has a passport I want her to come .. how could he want me to move on but want to spend 5 days on a boat with me what is wrong with him .. he played games with my head .. we stopped talking during the summer and I hooked up with his friend and was honest about it so he's still mad about that .. we been fighting a lot so I decided to stop all contact with him & move on with my life I will always .. I don't know what to do anymore ..
