Why is he messing me about?

I've been on and off with someone for several months. He says hurtful things like he isn't sure if he loves me and then if I break up with him he cries and says he does love me and please will I give him a chance. This man is in his 50s. He is always contacting me and saying he wants to meet.

So the other day I messaged him saying 'are we back together?' And he replied the following ;

'You know I think a lot of you Electra and I've said I need space so if we are going to continue to meet I think its needs to be made clear from both of us that right now we are meeting as friends. I don't know what I want right now, but it's not to say that I don't want you. I don't want a situation where we start develeping deeper feelings which can hurt either of us at any stage if it came to a situation where that could happen. Hope that makes some kind of sense 😘 xx'

This is bullshit, isn't it? I've just told him I'm done with the situation. Why do people behave like this? It makes me angry.

He thinks god has given him a special gift to heal sick people and that one day he will heal a famous person with an incurable disease
And a delusional sense of grandeur.
Deffo a narc!
Well done OP.
Hope he doesn't pop back up again anytime soon!

Well done on getting rid of him! Probably best if you change your phone number. He sounds like he's wired up wrong . Good escape!

He's not interested but keeping his options open.
Move on.

I am not seeing him again. The problem before was that I felt sorry for him because his continued lie was 'please believe me I do love you but my last relationship messed me up'

Now I can see that his intentions are bad. This won't change. I hope he doesn't come into my work. I've just started a new job and it will be embarrassing.

He sounds horrible you can do so much better

Good decision to end it don't go back. Onwards and upwards!!!

It's like trying to solve a riddle that in the end you realise has no solution. Eg, 'I love you but I'm not sure if it's the right way of loving' total headfuck
