So my ex and I had a monstrous argument and it got to a point where he made physical threats and has avoided me for three consecutive days. He told me that he couldn't be with me because what he liked the most about our relationship was the fact that we got along so well. I called him several times and he would either ignore my calls or tell me that he will call me back but wouldn't. After a week of that, when I called him on Monday, he picked up and we decided to meet. We had dinner together and just had conversations about random things... Yesterday was my birthday so we got together again and shared good conversation and we talked in the car for two hours about work and life (nothing about our relationship). We both didn't really talk about the break up and we somewhat acted as if we were still a couple... We held hands and hugged (he would say no kisses on the lips but he would accept them when I kissed him). We don't talk every night like the way we used to... He doesn't call me at work as the way he used to... I know he is not acting the same way but why is it that he meets with me and behaves so nicely yet doesn't want to start the relationship with me again... I feel that he still likes me... What is going on in his mind? Is he playing mind games with me? Please share your thoughts with me, thank you.

More details are needed on the histroy of your relationship with him.

How long have you two been broken up and who initiated the break up?

I feel as though there is a big chunk missing from this puzzle. He make physical threats toawards you, that should be the deal breaker right there as the next step is for him to act on them

He is playing a game with himself, and your caught up in it. Step away, and re evaluate your position in his life.
