... at least he cared enough to break it off before cheating. Here's the situation:
My ex broke up with me, I think mostly because he wasn't ready to be in a serious relationship. We were really good friends before we ever got in a relationship. He never thought he'd actually get to date me, and would always say he 'couldn't believe he was with me' when we were dating.
Anyways, he says he still does like me, and that I am so special to him, but I know it and he knows it that he shouldn't be in a relationship.
Have you guys ever been in this situation? Where you really do like a girl you are dating, but broke it off because you honestly just weren't ready to commit and be in a serious relationship?
I actually totally understand that "guys want to sow their wild oats", there's nothing you can do about it really. I mean I'm glad he had the decency to tell me before he did something stupid and cheated on me or something.
He tells me things like, he was afraid that if we kept going with our relationship that things would end badly and he feared that he would loose me forever. Also, he claims that he isn't satisfied with himself enough to 'give himself' to someone. He said I'm the type of girl he could see himself settling down with later in life and marrying and having kids with.
But Can I believe all of this?-- that he really did like me a lot, and that he still does care about me, and wants to be friends again? and that maybe later in life, if the situation arisen, give things another shot?
If we weren't good friends before we dated, I don't think I would buy into it. I'm just curious as to what others think.
As much as I still love him, I don't want to get back together now because it obviously would just end the same way, or worse. We are currently working on becoming friends again, and it isn't easy. But we both think its worth it.
