DUDE YOU NEED BOUNDARIES AND YOU NEED TO ENFORCE THEM.

You like her attention. You are hoping that she will come back to you in some kind of miraculous way where she is suddenly "fixed".

That is a fantasy.

You have to be realistic, man. I know how bad it scks but you can't keep letting her string you along like this. If you don't stop, you are setting yourself up.

My XW said all kinds of stuff like that. A couple years after our D, XW and I went to dinner and she told me that she feels like she just needs to "work on herself" because if she "can't be good on her own she can't be good with another person in her life". I agreed. Couple days later she was banging some dude she met at a bar. Lol. She says things like this to me a lot, and then does the opposite. It's fine with me, I'm completely detached now but she is still out there doing girls gone wild. Her son tells me all about it, and it hurts him pretty badly.

You have got to break these puppet strings she has tied to you.
