Had contact over the weekend...What does all this mean?

[miss bella]

Ex and I have been broken up for almost 2 months and have been living apart for 3 1/2 weeks. Over the weekend he contacted me to spend time with my dog. Which I have no problem with. Friday night he came & got her to spend the night at his place. When he saw her he started crying as he loves her very much. He stayed & chatted for about 20minutes. I kept it really light hearted (he dumped me). He seems really down & not himself. Saturday morning I rang to see if she was ok, and because i had been putting up a brave front I didn't want him to think I didn't care. So I told him I missed him & he said he knows. He is not ready to tell me this but he tells mutual friends he misses me. Last night we talked on the phone for a while as I was really down & he understands me so well. We talked about all the things we used to do until he said he didn't want to talk about that stuff anymore. So we talked about what we have been up to, he doesn't go out & he is getting himself fit, which is very different for him. We are both having some financial difficulties in our lives, do you think once the other stresses get sorted out he will want to talk about us again? The last few times we have seen each other he always cries and says it's because he misses my dog.

I think he is probably confused about what has happened and is using the dog as an excuse.

 

I don't think there is nothing much you can do though except continue with your healing process. If he ever decides he did do a mistake and wants to come back, then you would have to decide whether it is what you want.

I think he is very confused also. I just find it hard to be patient but, I know I have to be. He never says you'll meet someone else, there is no hope for us. He asked if I'd made friends with my new neighbours which I had, and i even got asked out. He asked what my reply was & I said, I am just coming out of a break up and to give me a month then ask me again. He said he didn't want to talk about it anymore. But he had asked.
