Had a female friend of mine do this same exact thing to her ex, but he didn't treat her right. She really liked his family and wanted to keep up with them, but wanted nothing to do with the ex bf.
Your situation could be different, but just letting you know its not always about game playing.
Why hung up on a Ex? The more time you waste there, the more time you wasted not meeting the next guy. And most importantly of all, you LOOSE good days to unhappiness when you could be happy. Make the choice to move on and make the choice to be happy. You still only have today so make the most of it.
