We were in a long-distance relationship for 8 months. He lives in Singapore and we have only been together once for 2 weeks which was Christmas and New Year with my family. All throughout the 8 months we have been ON and OFF because I would catch him flirting or having other women on FB. We finally broke up in January but we remained friends on FB. Lately, I have been posting quotes that I am recovering and moving on. I don't initiate chats with him anymore just a move so I can move on faster, and all of a sudden there would be times that he would send me nonsense Viber messages like he's depressed or something, like one time he said he's in a Mental Institution daw coz he's depressed, thhen I ask if he's okay, he's say he's fine, then that's it. The next day he messaged me with "Hi", I said "Hello", then he said he just got discharged, I asked how he is, wala na dayun ni reply.. Sometimes he'd message to ask how I'm doing, when I say I'm fine, he'd reply with "Ok", then that's it.
What does it mean? Does he miss me or something? I know he has been chatting with many women on whatsapp and tagged lately, so verytime he'd message me, I just say to myself "don't expect something, he's just bored". Am I right to think so?
Sometimes I flatter myself into thinking that he does miss me, but most of the time (during the duration of the relationship), I felt like I was just an option and he was with me until he found the one he wanted. After all, it is kinda impossible for us to end up together since we are miles apart.
