something similar like this to me has happened before my ex told
me he never had a gf, but he did and every fren of mine knew about
it but never tell me, i onli found out much later after they boke
up. i was hurt since we were still good frens who had a mutual
break up.
ur ex never tell u cause he did not wanna hurt u, he did not wan u
to feel than that he got over u just like that and has a new gal
while u r still alone, he still respects ur feeling and does not
wan u to be sad and make it seem like wat u had did not mean much,
later he did not know how or when to break it to u. i guess he does
not wan u to think negatively of him. maybe there can be a future
for u with him as his gal or livelong frenship, if he was to tell u
than itself do u think ur frenship could have survived this
long,
learn from relationships, so the next one u will know how to work
on it and make it survive. eg. my ex sometimes did say he loves me
still, though i know it aint like the love we used to have and i
dont blame him. he is moving on with times, at least respects me
and does not wanna hurt me. if he were to say not any more, that
would have defintely spoilt my day.
u dont have to find a bf now, wat u can do is spend time with other
potentials and understand wat u wan, dont go looking for ur ex in
these guys. have fun importantly !
good luck gal.
