Great advice!
My ex bf of 5 years broke up with me about a year ago but we dragged for quite a long time afterward and only about half a year ago we talked about starting things over again. Until recently he began to distance from me and I found out that he's seeing someone. (We're on long-distance). I was completely devastated. I felt betrayed. We've been through a lot and I thought he was the love of my life. He cheated on me some years ago but I forgave him and we had happy times together since then.
Since then I was determined to cut him out of my life, yet from time to time he still calls to check on me and tells me how much he misses me. I was so confused. Yet, I'm still very much in love with him. In x'mas, I sent him a small gift and I know deep inside it's stupid for me to do that, especially he has a gf now. I spoke to him on the phone recently and asked if he received the present. He casually acknowledged and didn't say much afterward. This totally backfires me and I couldn't feel myself anymore stupid. I still don't understand why he does that. Has he moved on already??
