Can this happen?

My ex and i have been broke up 3 months he has a girlfriend that he has been dating for a month yesterday he told me that he wasn't over me and he wont ever be over me or forget all our memories he says when he is with his girlfriend i'm still in the back of his mind. we dated 16 months and we have an 11 month old daughter together. i am the same as him i can't get over him and i can't let him go. i asked if he was gonna have more kids with his girlfriend later on and he said no he didn't want anymore with anyone else i have told the same thing. he still has pictures of me and him on his phone as i do to he still has my nick name as my name in his phone and i do too. we agreed to be friends cause he wanted to. he said he felt comfortable talking to me now about things. he said his girlfriend told him she wanted to get married as soon as possible but he said he wasn't ready for that and she keeps putting pressure on him. he told me before a week ago that he was over me and in love with his girlfriend. can this be possible? that he is in love with her but not over me? is there a chance of him and i being together again

Sounds like he's wants to keep you on a string just in case things don't work out with the new girlfriend. Don't be his fallback position. You have to remain civil because you are parenting a child together, at least hopefully you are, but that's as far as it has to go.

Gee- the girlfriend wants to marry him after a month? Is he telling you this so you'll say "no, don't do it because i want you?"

 

Yes, he can be in love with someone but still not over you. But that means he just hasn't 100% healed and let go, not that he wants you both. It is the classic rebound formula.

Yes, everything's possible that you've asked. But if you don't want to get caught up in more drama that you definitely don't need, then do not be swayed by his words while he has another girlfriend.
