Search Results: confused by an ex

6 weeks ago since the break up, saying he needed space and time but he would come back for me. 2 weeks later his best friend met up with me telling me not to let go, just give him space and he had never seen him happier with anyone. I have just left said ex alone / No Contact or minimum contact and enjoyed my life (no begging or nothing). But he never reached out apart from when I had an exam or work (friendly not saying sorry and cutting the convo short)
I spoke to him today after reading advice online about how to tackle situations just saying i respected his decision and that i enjoyed the little time we did have together. He said he was happy i felt that way. Then I asked why he had left me hanging and left the door open - it was confusing and mean!
To this replied "he thought he just needed space at the time, he didn't know how he would feel" aka - it is what I feared and he is happy with his decision. He however also put he didn't update me because it was "killing him to say, because i still had something that way, but shouldn't have kept you in the dark" so doesn't want to completly rule it out. also saying "he would always care about me" and "wasn't going to leave it like this forever" Feel like I am a backup option.
Back to the question at hand. I stayed cool during conversation and have suggested we meet up for a coffee but now not sure if that is a bad move.
Should i change my number and cut him out. Show him he has fucked up and doesn't deserve to know me (scared he won't care if I do anyway / that i can't go through with it) or go to the coffee and show him what he has missed out on (but then also kindof saying he doesn't need to apologise / can have me even by being selfish)
