Why does my ex not realize how much I care?

Even though me and my ex are not together anymore, I still watch over him because I am very protective of him, and obviously I still care. We’re still friends, but I still have a lot of feelings for him even though we’ve been broken up for 3 months now. We were together for 8. He even got a girlfriend after a week of us being broken up. My ex tends to get screwed over, and I’m not exactly sure why. I’m the only girlfriend he’s ever had that hasn’t cheated/given up/ or broke up with him. But anyway, his girlfriend broke up with him on friday and in school he was crying to me about it. And I don’t get why I’m not good enough for him? I would never hurt him like that. I would never give up on him. I’ve put so much effort into our relationship its crazy but yet he still doesn’t see that how good together we could be.. How do I make him realize that without coming out and saying it?

Answer #1

You watch over him because you still have feelings for him. Simple as that (most people are guilty of it). You can’t keep pretending to be his friend. What happens when he comes to you for advice on asking another girl out? What if he needs your help hooking him up with one of your friends?

Cut the “being friends” bullshit and involving yourself in his life. He’s just going to take your feelings for granted and hurt you. You’re better off letting him know that you still have feelings for him, and asking him how he feels about you. You can’t make someone love you (unfortunately), so if he can’t return your feelings, quit pretending to be his friend. It sounds like you pour so much effort into making him happy. You deserve a guy that will return that same effort to you and make you feel loved and wanted, not just taken for granted.

Answer #2

We”ll I guess your gonna have to show him.. Be there for him a lot and tell him he deserves better… If it were me I would just tell him… He’s just trying to avoid you.. He probably think you dont wanna be with again but its your hjob to make him undderstand that you still do…

Answer #3

just tell him and hope he feels the same
