Do you have some advice for this person?

Visitor's Question:
I have been dating my boyfriend for 8 years before he was diagnosed with Diabetes & Epilepsy. Shortly after the heat, and our issues as a couple, he met someone else who he calims understood him andmloved him. He basically wanted us to take a break, while he pursued his new found opportunity. I broke it off because I couldn't handled it. Anyways, 7.5 months have passed and he started to call me wanting to be friends. His relationship with his new flame ended a few months ago and they talk once in a while. He wants us to be friends, but he is going overboard in his efforts to do so. He calls me almost everyday, and he always wants to take me out. He also told me that he learned valuable lessons while we were apart, and that he needed that experience to wake up...yet at the same time, he wants to be friends.
What does this mean? Does he want us to get back together, but is too embarrassed to ask? Does he truly want us to be just friends? I still care for him, but I cannot ignore the hurt and pain that he caused me. I refuse to give him the satisfaction of asking him if he wants to get back, because it might backfire on me, yet the hints are sometimes there.
He screwed up, so he should own up to his mistakes and make all the effort, because I did my share in trying to save our relationship before.


Thanks for any advice that you may have

Our Suggestion:
If you want him back (and it seems you do with reservations) then accept his date offers (but not too often) and talk to him on the phone (but not too much). Let him be the one who comes begging back to you because he needs that experience to let him know how it feels.

It certainly does sound like he is looking for more than friendship.

Good luck!
George
