I was in a relationship with a man which only lasted four months but felt a lot longer (is that always a bad thing?) and we mutually decided to split as he wanted to travel and I wasn't happy with how little we were getting to see each other. He was very busy with work and hobbies but it at times felt like everything else was prioritised over me.
Since splitting I've been getting on with life happily enough but he keeps messaging me in the early hours when he has been out drinking saying he loves me. He then doesn't contact me when sober for weeks at a time.
I've always thought that people were honest and open when drunk but with him I suspect it's a lonely desperate need for attention or something like this?
If he actually loved me he'd be in my life surely?
I do think a lot of him but I have no intention of restarting a relationship either now or in the future, I'm just wondering what others make of his messages?
