i don’t understand boys y’all

sorry this is long y’all is complicated

i had a thing where i’ve been face-timing my ex for the past few months on a daily basis- i broke up with him because he was in the marines and i couldn’t handle the ghosting i was getting. he’ll be coming back in a year and i told him we would see where our relationship goes when he comes back.

but after the face-timing and the talking, we both were on good terms again and he became a really good friend. whenever we would talk he would screenshot my face literally every ten seconds. he even bought me two plushies that he wanted to send me back over.

everything was going extremely great and honestly i felt like we were going to get back together because he treated me so well, telling me i was beautiful even when i was my ugliest and showed him my weird self. he made me feel special and we told each other we had mutual feelings.

but then out of no where, he started ghosting me again and it’s been about 4 weeks. i sent him two snaps and they were left on seen. he also stopped trying to talk to me altogether. i thought everything was okay but i don’t understand anymore.

5 days ago he snapchatted me while he was drunk, telling me he missed and wished that i wasn’t in his mind but always am. - also after replying to that he left me on read again

i don’t understand what’s going on t-t why would he ghost me and then tell me he misses me?
