So I received a birthday card from my ex - he used one side of the card to ask me how am I doing and to tell me how much he misses me . He planned to go back to see me and and one of his friend this Christmas , finally , he signed Love ! That's very insensitive thing to do since during the time we are together , he said he liked me alot but he never wrote one single word like Love at the end of any emails , just Take care all the time like two friends and now after we broke up for 2 months ! What is going on? I need to move on and I dont want to feel any resentment for the guy .I truly want to be his friend . Hopefully this word just meant Love from a friend or something like that...Perhaps I'm so sensitive ...

I had an ex do that to me after we broke up. He would NEVER say the "L" word until 2 months after we broke up and moved on. The first time he wrote it was on a Christmas Card. I noticed it and wondered the same thing you are wondering right now. WFT? I didn't acknowledge it to him and just treated it as nothing more then a salutation. But then he wrote it again on a birthday card.

It took a lot of time to figure it out but turns out he missed the attention and the affection and admiration he was getting from me and when I was no longer doing that he KNEW the only way he had a chance to try to get me back with him was to say that he loved me in some way. Sure it got my attention (just like this guy is trying to do to you) but it was too little too late for me after I had already moved on emotionally and I didn't feel he really meant it. It was just a way to placate his ego. He just wanted to see if he was man enough to get me back to see if he could.

If he REALLY means it........he do more to SHOW you that he means it.

Take it for what it is...just an "endearing" salutation and don't read any more into it than that until he actually does something to back those words up!! Don't ask him about it and don't acknowledge and above all......DON'T feel obligated to say it back just because he wrote it!
