What does it mean when a guy says he cares about you, not like a friend but doesn't want to give you false hope. He broke up with me after being together for 6 years and started dating someone 3 months after. Is it likely that his current relationship is a rebound? I know they were intimate and when I ask him if I've lost him for good, he says he doesn't know. Because she's not physically in the same city, he said the relationship is convenient for him. Do you think it's guilt that he's feeling or is he still contemplating and trying to decide what he should do? By the way, we have a daughter together.

Might very well be a rebound, as it sounds like he's either leading you on or is genuinely confused.

As for what he really means, I'm apt to take the most pessimistic route. Any sprinkles of hope might just be him trying not to be such a bad guy.

I have a good friend whose husband left after several years, one son. They are now back together, but theirs is an uncommon thing, I think, and only time will tell if its really mended.

I don't think you can really trust anything he says, and id not wait around for him to bless you with his divine action of choosing you, maybe, at some point.

I'm not saying try to get into another relationship. Itd likely be a rebound for you at this point too. But probably best to consider that chapter closed for now. If he wants you back he should have to work like hell to get back in your favor.

Raise you daughter together and put the relationship on a back burner. He obviously has a different plan than you do.

I agree with all of the other posts! Leave him alone and go about your business. Only make eye contact with him when it is necessary to talk to him about work! Go on as of though there was no "moment"!:cool:
