Just a random thought: People are such strange creatures.  I have my own thoughts, opinions, experience and feelings, and (selfishly, or naively) I assume other people just get it when I say what I say, or do what I do.  Sometimes you have to explain what goes through your mind, but some people are just not willing to follow you there and understanding where you’re reaction is coming from.

I want thank everyone’s who taking a few minutes out of their time to reply to me. Every response was read carefully.  

Littlemisssunshine05, I think anita’s comment is on point.  People don’t always act out of malice or bad intentions, but act in the way they’ve always acted, as long as it works for them.  Unfortunately, having never really spoken up myself, his behavior has “worked” for him until now.  I will look up the movie you mentioned.

A few people, over both threads, have mentioned that “he must still like you” or “he must still have feelings for you”.  As comforting and cute as the intent might be, I do not, for one second, want to give that any thoughts.  It doesn’t work for me.  It doesn’t help me move on.  If he wanted me, he could have had me a million times over.  That time has passed.
