Okay I'm new to this site and I'm a Gemini Sun, Virgo Moon. So earlier this year in University I met this guy, he's a Cancer. He threw me off at first because of how strong he came on. However after a while I started to like him. LOADS. I had this nagging feeling, because Geminis always see the real truth in a situation, that there was something a bit off about him. However I decided to ignore how I really felt and try to give it a chance because he was saying all the right things to me. He was telling me how he treats and loves his mother and how he treats other women etc. Now being a Gem I'm a bit detached and hide that sensitive part about me away. Initially things went really well. He made effort to spend time with me and I felt like a Queen. Suddenly after a little while he started kinda ignoring me. Like he would only talk to me over text but in University he would be so detached. So being the Gem that I am I decided I'm just gonna break up with him cause he was not taking me seriously. So I did. Over text which I didn't intend to be harsh it's was just that there was no other way I could get my point across at that time. He asked me if I really wanted to break up and I agreed. So then after a while I said hey to check up on him. We started talking again. And I MADE THE WORSE MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I got back together with him. I thought he was gonna change but no! Okay then he started to flirt with girls openly around me. And I was not feeling that at all. After these incidents he would text me and ask me what's a long and blah blah blah. and I gave him pretty simple answers and to cut a long story short - he broke up with me and said it was because he needed space. So I was like okaiii lemme give you all the space you need. And then he started dating this other girl a week after. I feel like he purposely isn't letting me move on. Like I ignored him after he broke up with me because I didn't want to confront it. And then things just got worse. I feel like he won't let me move on! I feel like he's doing things to hurt me and keep me in his web. Waving his ex's and currents around me. It sucks cause I fell for him and now I really want things to work out but the stubborn unforgiving parts of me won't let me. What do you think he's doing, manipulating me or he honestly wants something but is afraid to try again?

He's not manipulating you to feel anything. He's obviously moving on with life and you're the one allowing yourself to feel whatever on account of him having a new gf and some exes. As you said, you made the worst mistake of your life by getting back together with him. You dumped him, then he dumped you. End of story. Stop following what he does with his life and move on!
