So..does he love me?? Or am I just something to temporarily take up

So..does he love me?? Or am I just something to temporarily take up his time and space. My ex and I have been hanging out and having sex since November. We were together for 9 years, have 2 children and been seperated for 4yrs. I have never stopped loving him, and want to spend the rest of my life with him. But he keeps saying he is NOT in love with me..yet. But we hang out all the time, like a normal couple would. He knows exactly how I feel about him and our situation. I do not want to be his booty call..I am too emotionally attached. So tonight I made a comment about how I feel, to reassure him..I flirt but I dont talk about it and I am not lovey dovey with him cause I dont want to push, but I dont want him to think I have lost interest. His response to me broke my heart”I have told you I am not in luv w/ u. I enjoy hanging out w/u and the sex is great but that’s it! If hanging around you is making you get attached then it ends here(But I have told him from day 1 I am attached always have been)I like hanging with you but I really wish you wud just leave it alone and life take its course” But it makes it hard when he looks at me the same way he used to, and even harder because he says he WANTS to be in love again, and he hopes it will happen …but he doesnt feel it right now.(I do not understand that???) Am I fighting a lost battle…because I was ready to fight hard??

Answer #1

It seems like he’s just using you. Maybe if you left him alone for a while, it will open his eyes and he’ll realize he really does love you. It’s not fair that he’s playing with your emotions. The longer you keep it going, the more it’s gonna hurt later on. Good luck. =)

Answer #2

Its all right there in black & white…His response to me broke my heart”I have told you I am not in luv w/ u. >>Why would you want to keep sleeping with your ex knowing that he is no longer interested in being in a committed relationship with you? The answer is because in your heart you probably somehow feel that by continuing to have sex that he is going to magically somehow realize what he hasnt realized throughout the entire time you were in a committed relationship, and that he will somehow fall madly in love with you and come running back to you with his heart in his hands vowing his eternal love to you…but that ONLY happens in the movies! He for whatever reason didnt feel obligated to stay committed to you while you were in the relationship so its very unlikely that he is going to all of a sudden feel an overwhelming need to committ to you especially now that the relationnship is over, and he is free from the responsibility of having to act in a manner towards you that would show that he values, loves, appreciates, and respects you. What incentive does he have to do this now when he can get all the perks of being in a relationship without having the restrictions?

He is like an addiction to you. Meaning, “doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result”. Your impulse has NOTHING to do with him as a person, or love. Its about a need in you. You have attached yourself to a feeling that you keep trying to get back. First love is incredibly powerful — so is first pain. My suggestion is that you get help from a qualified relationship therapist. Once you see yourself clearly, you may be able to see your ex clearly too — as just another messed-up human being with no more power over you than a dead light bulb.
