text: is he showing signs ?? me and my boyfriend split up about a week ago and lately we have been talking. he keeps on saying things like "in time we will see if our relationship will work out" and doing other things that signify that maybe we will get back together. for instance, last night i was sick and went to bed early and he called and told me to call him first thing after breakfast tommorow and let him know im okay. also he is turning his basement into an apartment (his family lives with him) which is something that he was planning to do for me so im not around the cats (im allergic). part of me really wants to be with him again, but another part doesnt want to deal the drama that came with our relationship. but i'd live with it just to be with him. my question is : is he really showing signs of wanting an reconciliation or am i just imagining signs because of my own hopes? i hate to say it, really, but it sounds like he is either hedging his bets or letting you down easy. if you want to be back with him you need to be slightly aloof and let him know you have options. i'm normally not into playing games, but there is nothing that will drive him away faster than being needy or bring him around faster than seeing that you can live - well - without him. be nice, but not too available. also, i don't know why you split, but unless you work through those issues they will still be there even if you do reconcile. i strongly urge counseling - whether you go back with him or not. even if you don't it will help you in your next relationship. good luck!
