My ex of 6 years and I broke up a month ago. We both loved each other but the relationship was too toxic and eventually became unhappy. I love him and still want to be with him however he says he thinks we wont ever try again. And his friend set him up with a date to formal where he and her both blacked out. A few weeks later we were chatting about if the decision made was right (because we kinda gave up and didn’t try to fix it) and he said “whats right will prevail but thats not false hope” he told me he muted my stories on social media yet always looks at it and he has lost tons of weight and is failing out of school. He does not try to contact me but while we were at school he was watching my cat and when I went to pick her up he begged me to let him have her again next sentence and I said its not a good idea. My friends and family said it is because he wants to stay in contact with me but if he wanted to contact me wouldn’t he just message me. Also I had to go back again because he forgot to give me her something for the cat and he stood in the freezing cold for 10 min talking to me about different things. He then texted me again after that asking about her and said he hopes we can just live our lives. I feel like i’m getting mixed signals and don’t know what to make of any of this I want him back
