Hello Haley,

Yes it is mean for someone to say one thing and do another.  He said you could be friends, but responded vaguely, if at all, to your texts/emails.  He also couldn’t really be open with you and showed this when he said he was dealing with “something” and gave no further details.  You also didn’t say if he did, in fact, break things off initially.  Did he say something along those lines?  Or did he text you that you could be friends, and that was his way of breaking up with you?

Rejection never feels good, and is so painful.  Once you work through that, I wonder if you could honestly say that you even miss him?
