Will my ex boyfriend come back

Home More advice Love & Relationships

My ex boyfriend and I were each other firsts and were together for a year and a half before he broke up with me for "freedom" and because he was "tired of fighting" (we fought maybe twice a week for a little bit, then made up). He asked me to be his best friend and told me that he still cares deeply about me and doesn't want me to get hurt. Even after we broke up he hugged me tightly a lot, kissed me once and we snuggled a few times too.

He asked for a break because he felt uncomfortable talking to me right after our breakup (We even fought a bit). We haven't talked in a month and I'm waiting for him to text me first.

Since then, he's gotten a new girlfriend (they've been together for 3 weeks). She's had 6 boyfriends and a girlfriend, her longest relationship being a month. She's pretty much just the rebound, and everything he hates. He refutes talking about her or even continuing conversations about her, and also doesn't care to stick up for her unless to keep face. Which, he's been doing a lot, is keeping face, since he'll only say "I'm with her". His mom even hates this girl (he's a mama's boy; she loves me to death though <3) and he fought with her best friend.

He gets bored (his pet peeve) and according to his friends he talks more about me than her. He's mentioned her maybe once in conversation but brings me up all the time. He won't talk to anybody online however.

His girlfriend was caught making out with another girl (he doesn't know) and will comment on his Facebook statuses to flirt with his friends!

We think that he's possibly keeping me distant because he doesn't want me "involved" right now. He doesn't want me out of his life- he wants me away so I won't get hurt. He told me to not change who I am. He won't talk to ANYBODY about what's going on, so something's up.

He could possibly be using this new girl as a form of self-harm for hurting me? He told me he wanted me to think of other stuff, but I love him to death and he's my best friend...

  1. What might his intentions be?
  2. Will his new girlfriend last long?
  3. Might I be his friend again soon?
  4. Is there a chance we'll get back together? ((DON'T TELL ME TO MOVE ON, I AM STUBBORN AND I WON'T GIVE UP. I love this guy.))
