how would you react??

Need you as what? as partner or as friend? Still be glad... that in his life he did not completely dump you... maybe as a friend... still you have your worth...Hard to understand? MAybe he dumped you as partner but it doesnt mean that he wont be needing you as a friend. Well its really hard if you still have feelings for him... you might get hurt when somebody else is involve... I myself... if I were in your place... Im a martyr type. I cant take it not being there with someone that i love...even if it would hurt me... im a tough lady... I can take it... Atleast in time... when he thinks of me... he will realize that no matter what he have done...no matter what ive been through... ive been there for him... ive proven my worth as a lover and a friend... and he would never regret having me once in his life... Then I also start moving on...with my life... Even if I dont have him... i know that what I gave him is the best of what i have... and I assure you my friend... YOU'LL NEVER REGRET BEING AT YOUR BEST NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION IS.... Good luck to you...

YOu want to be there for him of course because you still feel something for him. YOu should remember my friend that the word "need" has wide meaning. Depends on the intention. So my question, whats his intention of saying those words. For me i think its not good and he is playing safe. maybe he is confuse then, so when he dumped you and realized to play safe in case he decide to come back but of course he hurt your feelings and that you must remember. You must left or give yourself a little respect or pride. maybe you can talk to him why he said that and what his intention? So that you will not be confuse anymore.
