I (23F) was dating this guy (25M) for about 3 years, I met him through my cousin because they are best friends.
We broke up two years ago because I’m not gonna lie, i didn’t him treat him too well or gave him the affection/reassurance that he needed due to my lack of empathy. So he wanted to call it quits. Me and him were like best friends during our relationship and we were both super comfortable being ourselves with one another. I worked on myself these past couple years (I’m still working on myself) but I’m not the same person I was before. Anyways, he ended up dating a co-worker shortly after our relationship ended. After they broke up (1.5 years later) me and him got in contact and went out to catch up. We are friends now especially since he shows up to some family events considering he’s my cousins best friend.
He texted me the day of our would be anniversary saying, “Hey guess what today is!!” And I got a little upset because that breakup had me in such a dark place for a very long time, and I just feel like he crossed a boundary. Why would he text me this? I let him know that he could have just kept that to himself and he apologized. We still text sometimes, he’s always liking selfies I post on my instagram story so I’m just curious like what is going on his mind if he thinks there’s a chance? He texted me the other night asking what I was doing and said he was watching a Netflix episode that took place in my college town. I was out with my friends so I didn’t text back until the next morning.
I’m curious what you guys think? I was thinking he probably just wants to fuck but I feel like he respects me too much especially since he’s best friends with my cousins. I don't know.
