This might be long, but please read. I was with this guy Matt for 3 years..starting on my 21st birthday. We first met online a while before and agreed to meet on my birthday. He came up to my city and we hung out with a few of his friends..getting wasted (like you would expect at a 21st birthday.) Me and him ended up living in my friends bedroom for DAYS after. All we did was gawk and stare at eachother.We never wanted to leave that room. He also told me he was falling in love with me, it was very serious. Weeks we were still wrapped up in eachother..cuddling and gawking, being silly and comfortable. He then asked me to marry him (I said yes). We then lived at my aunts place for about 7 months, in that time we both got jobs and worked towards getting a place. He was still sweet and wonderful but started gaining some independence (which is good). We moved into our first apartment later and we were STOKED! We felt so mature lol. After about a year of that we lost our jobs. We had a few spats here and there but easy ones. We kinda messed up the place tho. We had no other choice than to contact his dad to let us live with him till we found jobs. When we moved in we met his dads gf who was this super uptight clean freak who wanted to lay down the law every 5 minutes. Me and Matt did great in that house, We both got great temporary jobs. We still had our occasional spats but still stupid or mild. We wanted out of there ASAP cause we HATED his dads gf. She treated me like Cinderella. We lived there for a year and then moved to another apartment. His brother called one day talking about how he lost his job and was losing his place, I suggested he lived with us till he got back on his feet...this is where it got bad. His brother moved in..realize he is a EXTREME videogamer who smokes pot all day and drinks. In him moving in, Matt started hanging with him more..and more.. and latched onto his habits. It got to a point where that was ALL he EVER did. I wasn't even allowed to ride in the front seat of the car for crying out loud. They just smoked pot all day and shut the door on me, I was truly living in a bachelor pad. I lost my job and because of all that was going on, I didn't even try to look for work. I was depressed and lonely. That is when me and him started to argue a lot..mainly cause I never saw him. He was so wasted all the time and just unhealthy and mad. I wanted his brother out cause he was a TERRIBLE influence. He threw the excuse that his brother is the only other source of income (true) and can't. I ended up having a nervous breakdown due to isolation and being ignored, it was then that I decided to leave Matt because he wouldn't get rid of his brother. He was very sad, and just stood in the doorway watching me pack my stuff, asking if I needed help. The day I was to leave (he was dropping me off) he asked if he could cuddle with me..and we did. He drove me to a drop off point with my folks and cried the whole way there. He kissed me passionately before helping me get my stuff out of the car. It was a extremely sad and gut wrenching breakup. Two months later I wished him a happy birthday on FB and he was like "okay....". I talked to him on the phone and he seemed indifferentcareless, then got frustrated cause I was bringing stuff back. After that I hadn't talked to him for 2.5 years (I also had blocked him on FB out of anger). Yesterday I unblocked and messaged him and he was like "OMG it's been ages! how are you?". After some convo he gave me his new phone # and told me to text/call whenever cause he doesn't use FB anymore and he was about to leave. I replied giving him my # and told him the same. 5 min later HE CALLED ME. We talked on the phone for almost 2 hrs! Catching up, reminiscing, laughing, etc. He was unusually attentive and interested in all i've been up to..he wanted to know everything. He'd laugh at all my jokes and agree with everything I said. He even said he had been trying to make food like I used to but just can't haha. I asked why he didnt message me and he said that he DID try to msg me before but saw I blocked him (go figure). He felt bad for how he treated me the last bit of our relationship.. saying he got rid of his bro and can't stand him, and that he is and feels better without him. He said hes visited Cali, got a new awesome job. I asked him what else he's done and he said "well, guess I have nothing better to do since I'm driving.." and then proceeded to tell me stories (was that rude of him?). A few strange things..he says he lives with a roommate who is a "old friend" (and its a girl) he also said for his last birthday he went to Hells Kitchen with a "friend" (who is a girl) and complained about how he had to pay her meal on his birthday and said "guess that is how it is, you arent dating but still have to pay a girls meal". Sounds odd to me. At the end of the convo he said it was great to talk to me, I told him I was glad he didn't hate me..he said he never hated me and is over it and has fond memories. He told me (YET AGAIN) to textcall whenever I want. Today I patiently waited for a text or a call, I assumed (given how imperatively he wanted to call last night) that he would. But I didn't get a text or call. I decided to text a simple "hey :p". He replied 30 min later saying "hey, how are you?" I said "good, just making burgers, you?" ..again..30 min later he said "I'm at Oktoberfest getting drunk" I said "cool! Well have fun. I am jealous now I want a beer!" and he didn't reply back. Now I REALLY don't know what to do or think. I don't know whether he's still interestedin love with me and I have a chance or if he has moved on so much so that he has forgiven, forgotten, and is just courteous towards me. He's gotten rid of the problem that separated us and I feel I would like to resume provided his brother is not involved but I am terrified not knowing how he feels for me now..and I'm hoping reading this you might understand?
