Maybe that is his nature. Thanks, Confused Dear confused, This man ended your relationship, denies he has feelings for you, and avoids you like the plague. My rule is, if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. You're obsessing about this guy, and just can't accept that he doesn't want you. If a man says he doesn't want you, always believe him.
Some guys have a rescue reflex.
Your mentor sounds like one of these. Unfortunately for you, that means you always have to be a victim to get his attention. Sounds like he'd actually like to be back with his ex-wife. This guy probably thought you were cute and then decided you were too much of a pain in the ass. Happens all the time.
