My ex-boyfriend of 2.5 years recently broke up with me because of his stressful job and me not being understanding. Anyways, he wouldn't answer my phone calls for a few days after, and then I would get so sad that I would call him from other phone numbers (for example, my house phone instead of my cell phone) and he would pick up and talk to me. Anyway, this morning I called him and left him a voicemail that said "If it is really over for good, let me know when I can come pick up my things from your apartment" He never responded, which gave me hope that he really didn't want it to be over. Finally, after feeling sad again, I called him and he answered his phone. I asked him when I could come get my things, and he said he doesn't have a day off until Thanksgiving, and he would get ahold of me as to when I can pick up my things that I left there. After hanging up, I wondered why I couldn't just go there some night when he gets out of work a little early and pick them up - why is he making me wait 2 weeks? Do you think he wants to think it over a little more and maybe is thinking about getting back together? And why would he want to prolong the inevitable - why wouldn't he just want to give me back my things and get me out of his life?
