I was hoping someone enlighten me re a comment made by my ex-bf. I sent this to dirtyfrank also to c what he thought.
I live in same complex as my ex and I ran into him. We said hello and when I went to take the conversation farther he stopped me and said "there can be no emotions". I wasn't trying to do that but he assumed so.
What do you make of that statement (if you will) and idk why but he always assumes he knows what I'm going to say to him before I can ever get a word out. And for the most part he is way off. Is that an Aquarian trait or just him?
All feedback is appreciated! Peace!

Well I'm not sure I can answer that question....

I'm not sure what you said, did or how your demeanor was when you saw him.

If he once loved you, he def. knows to some extent who you are, how you think, how you feel & which body language means what. If you 2 always had that "can tell what the other is thinking' bond while in the relationship, he may still be over-confident that he still knows you that well.

And in that case, if your demeanor or body language or words suggested that you weren't over him or wanted something from him, then perhaps his instinct that you weren't really content with being ex's was correct.

Orrrrrrr...He might've been saying that to himself...As an out-loud reminder not to faint or catch feelings when he sees you, either b/c he's repulsed by you or fascinated lol

Or it could've just been a quirky joke that you somehow took to heart.

Hell idk, I need more info!

Ok so he had said before he loves me and I believe that he did. He knows I didn't want to end things & to this day idk y he did. He did a 180 on me and I was devastated to say the least.

My gut tells me he cares but his actions nowadays say not so much. We have hooked up since the breakup but not anymore. Hurts me too much.

When he assumes something abt me & he's wrong I tell him that's not what it is. Why do u think he would say that if he is repulsed? That's a puzzle in itself.

Idk I could be trying to read something from nothing. I've done that plenty.

He also asks if I'm hiding a new man somewhere, or where I'm going, etc.
he also knows when I come home late, etc. Cuz he mentions it.
if he doesn't want me, y do this stuff? He's making me crazy with it.

Yeaaa. My ex boyfriend was Aquarius and he would never make the move to re-commit, but he will also never let go totally. I'm not sure if that's a trait?

@dirtymelodies I think it's a trait. But it all has to be at his convenience.

@aquaguy 3000 I'm beginning to think that u hit that nail on the head. (all puns intended 😄). As far as being controlling, it sure is in a twisted ass manner.

Why can't some people just come out and say it? At least you'd have your self respect.

if i said that to an ex it would mean i have had enough of any kind of drama and it would be better if we kept it at a logical, amiable talk.

when i tell the other not to say/do that or that...it isn't that i anticipate/assume what they are going to say/do, but it is my way to signal what i am willing to hear/see or not...

He'd probably like to be friends, but knows you still have feelings. So, if he does talk to you, then he's letting you know up front that this is friends and not to read anything into it, aka no emotions, no feelings, your conversation doesn't mean anything other than friends.

Truecap and andre3000 hit it. He wants sex with no attachments to add you back on his roster and he wants to make sure your clear on him not having feelings for you and you not being allowed to get emotional in any type of way. This is not a aqua trait this is a immature man who can't or won't commit trait
