My exbf came back around out of the blue, showing up at my house wanting to "talk". He apologized for the way our relationship went, for how much he hurt me (a lot of lying and cheating), and said that he finally realized it wasn't me that ruined our relationship, it was him. Back story...he recently got out of prison (drugs) and I was his first relationship in seven years. He has been dating someone else, they're about a month in, and I guess things aren't going so well, he said they weren't talking. He said that relationship made him see that he has a lot of work to do on himself, that he isn't happy with himself, and that I'm not responsible for us not working out, he is, and he felt he needed to tell me. He told me he knows he can't be in a relationship until he works on himself, but that he loved me as much as he could love anyone, and he is sorry. When he was leaving, we hugged and I said thank you for the apology, its the closure I needed. And he said, what if I don't want closure?? I blew that statement off. He asked me to hang out with him the next night, and against my better judgment I ended up texting him to see what he was doing. No reply. I ended up drinking a bit too much that night and sending another text that pretty much said, I'm still in love with you. No reply. So here I am, wondering what the heck was that all about? Why?? Was the apology even sincere? Was he just feeling sad about his current relationship and needed an ego boost? He might think he did a good thing, but here I am hurting again.
