I've been off an on with someone for a long time. Currently off. I know he'll never commit but I'm happy being single as well so I'm not too fussed. I can live either way.
Thing is he is always the one breaking it off when he feels like commitment is getting too much, or if he deems me to be needy etc, or when he's had a busy few days and I'm asking him why he's being off. Every time he will tell me it's over for good this time, then I back off entirely and he ends up coming back.
What is it? The thrill of the chase? It's like he wants me more when I don't give a damn.
Currently, I don't give a damn so history would tell me that he'll come running back shortly.
