| He's obviously been through a tough time and probably thinks a lot about his family and wants to be there for them - a loss in the family affects everyone so they'd all pull together.
If you were together for 2 years and he remembered your anniversary even though he was going through a tough time, I'd say he still has feelings for you.
It probably came as a shock to him that you texted him wanting to break up - quite selfish I think because he's going through a tough time and you said that he wasn't paying enough attention/love to you. You should have given him space and backed off a little, or at least support him. Mind you, I'm going through a situation similar to yours at the moment, and having some problems backing off myself, so I may not be the best person to give this kind of advice!
If he's still looking at you whenever he passes then he obviously still thinks of you. If you did the small things like smile at him and not be cold (not that I'm saying you are), then he might come up to you and discuss getting back together. If he doesn't, it doesn't mean he doesnt want to - he's probably nervous.
If he doesn't come up to you after another week, I'd ask to meet him on neutral ground and see how he's doing - not to ask him back necessarily unless he does so first. This way he'll know that you're there for him and want to be there for him. He'll appreciate it at least, and I reckon he'll open up to you. Then you can take it from there.
Hope I helped. |
