Yeah I had that a few times from my ex, he said to me a couple of times that I was perfect, like too perfect for him, and I deserved to have someone like this or like that. I think it's insecurity also being used to being treated a certain way by their mothers, I know it's weird, but the guys I met who have colder mothers are more inclined to say this than boys who have mothers who love them almost too much....it's like they were taught at an early age that they only deserve cold and hard love, not warm love. This is why men 'love bitches' I think too.I do know that because he said that, you gotta actually do most of the emotional work to get back together, you actually have to show him that you want in and you want it a LOT. A lot of men would take the approach that they're 'too good' for their exs, but in this case, you have the opposite. Unless, he's lying and just wants you to move on but I doubt it if he cried. A boy only cries over someone he really loves but feels he isn't good enough for. Show him he makes you happy, that's the key

Our conversation started with him saying I need to find someone to care for. Saying how I need to find the right one. Then I go on talking about how I have trust issues and that I have been pretending to be someone I am not for so long I got used to it. That is when he said please remember who you are and please don't cry. I asked him why I shouldn't cry and he said cuz he'll cry. My heart sunk because I knew he really would. With how he gets worried if it sounds like I am mistreating my health I know he really would cry. I think what bothers me is how down he is and how that may be what is holding him back. Not in the sense that he won't eventually give, my heart just trembles when he gets like this.

Is having faith in him something that will help my situation? His feelings are clearly there, but he seems to run away from them.
