Yes, I guess that makes sense. It's as if he thought all along that he could have both of us. Now that OW (gf) is living and working in another town, he's filling the void with conversations with me. If she were there, he most likely wouldn't have time for me...and she certainly wouldn't allow him to talk to me.
It's scary though. He's nice. Sometimes he gets flirty, which scares the cr@p out of me. I know it's just because he's missing her. Heck, he tells me all the time how much he loves her and misses her and wants to marry her. I can keep it seperate for a while, but somewhere during the conversation I shake my head and remember that he's my X and talking to me for relationship advice with his gf, the one he left me for. Talk about feeling you're in the Twilight Zone.
I could tell him to take a hike, but there's some weird malfunction in my brain that keeps me listening. Some sort of weird self torture or something. Even if it's just curiosity...What is he up to now?
I'm not an expert, but I've been there. And I survived.
