Hello!

I needed some explanation, if you please πŸ™‚

I broke up with my aqua ex 3-4 months ago, it didn't work out, and we constantly broke up (in and out for 2 years). He was to a point where he was just apathetic and I was just a wreck, so I called it quits. He's really an oddball, and it's not due to me not wanting to continue a friendship after (I offered it, he took it), and it's not like if and when we see each other within our combined social groups (those are rare, but have happened) I give off negative vibes, on the contrary, I try and make it as easy as possible, joke around, laugh.

He's still completely awkward with me. I understand this to be an Aquarian thing, apparently, but all my aqua friends say he's an extreme. Take last Friday, I was to go to a bar with some of these "combined friends," they had invited him, the plans didn't pan out. I later learn that he calls his friends girlfriend (my friend), and she was shocked, she said, because he's never called her before, nor has he directed any questions (except about me) to her. He asked her if the plans were still on (he knew they weren't), and if I was attending. The weird part is that he called her. Period. Along with other times were I have spent time with her and later on the line he questioned her about said outings. To top it off, on my birthday, I get a text saying "Happy Birthday. I remembered earlier, so yeah." And then there was thanksgiving "Happy Thanksgiving."

Haha, those text messages were pointless, not very jolly or congratulatory. I rather would have not gotten anything at all. He's odd, and while I understand this is what I dated for two years (a bit more, actually), I have no explanation. I know there are no feelings of β€”let's get back together,?? he told me himself, I don't think it's a possessive thing like before, and like I said, I can swear I treat him friendlier than I would have ever thought possible given our history.

Any explanation will do really πŸ™‚
I figure there's bound to be at least another said oddball out there: P

why did you break up?

I think he just missed you sometimes.You know given 2 years history.Besides, you said you two are friends now right? Then what is so suprising about the text? Don't think Aqua is big on phone so take that as a precious gesture of friendship.If he told you he didn't want to get back, it was true.However, your attitude might have caused him to question his decision "sometimes".On the other hand, it's best not to have high hope about getting back togethr or he wants you back kind of thing,because if he does want you back, he'll tell you plain and simple. However, an Aqua might act very passively so if you wait for him, it might be years before it happen, and who knows, during those times, he might be dazzled by other beauties and temporarily forget his main task is to woo you back πŸ˜›

Wowsies, it's nice to wake up to this πŸ™‚
Exam, "why did [we] break up?," well, one of my flaws is my paranoia (I actually have recently pin pointed it and have given it a name), and simply put, he tried to show me how much he cared and I squashed those efforts down time and time again...my fault really. Can't say he didn't have any fault howvever. And kinda hard to decipher huh? He COULD be over me, he COULD just miss me, but he COULD be acting passively...we have broken up with months in between and he'll come back. This time, I am 88% sure thats not the case, we should be allowed to move on sometime.
Normalisboring, " ...and he has to keep running into you via your shared circle of friends," see, I would understand this if he made a fuss, and the fact that you point out that my friend would tell me these details, she would have told me this too, no? On top of that, everytime I hang out with that couple, and he knows, he'll request that the male tell me hi on his behalf (?). To top it off, and I honestly don't like mentioning it, but he friend requested me on FB, I accepted, when I update the status, he comments (I dont venture there) much like last night. So what I'm trying to say is that revenge sounds a bit far-fetched (although, thats definately an ego booster πŸ™‚) and the inabiity to go back to normal, so on and so forth, because besides those tidbits I hear from my close friend, nada.
" I think you still feel something for him," of course! I will always love him, turmoil or not, as sappy as that is, and I'm curious too lol.
And, the last thing that confused me, normalisboring, is the mixed signals. There are absolutelty none, I don't give him importance, I dont tend to answer his pointless (to me they are, there are certain ways of saying things) texts or FB thingys. Last outing I was nice yes, he was akward,yes, but his friend kept hitting on me so I subtly had fun with that lol.
So stop what?, that my dear, is the question πŸ™‚
And Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was deliciously funny πŸ™‚
