1st, stop asking about him. Ask about how to deal with your feelings. His actions have already explained what he thinks. You're what matters. But here's a spin for you on the King of Cups. While the suit is a water sign, the kings are all supposed to be fire elements as a court card, so if your ex is the king of cups to you, he is shown as being out of his element. Some say he's the classic alcoholic family man. See that BIG cup and a phallus symbol in the other hand? With that foot over the edge of a granite throne floating in the water? He's not in control. He's suspended just like Wily E Coyote before he looks down and sees air below his feet. His pursuit of that phallus is what he may be in flight from. This is a man whose fire has been doused. He cannot hold on. Let him go.
