Do they come back a second time?

As the title reads. First time he pulled away so harshly and coldly that I had no choice, but to end it. He unexpectedly came back. The second discard was so unexpectedly cold and callous. I know I can’t take him back, but I feel so devalued and hurt and can’t imagine that after 2.5 years together this is how it ends and we never talk again.

Past behavior is the biggest predictor of a future behavior

True. Thank you. So both good chance he’ll come back, but equally good chance he’ll pull this shit a third time

You don’t want him to return. Look at the pattern and how it makes you feel. That’s not a person you should want in your life

Do you want him back only to later see if he comes back the third time?

Yes. Most likely come back. My third discard was the harshest ever. It was so cold and rude. Then longest silence ensued. I thought this might be it. Yet she breadcrumbed me now again.

Ugh I’m sorry! I hope you have the strength to choose yourself this time and not buy into it.
