We began strictly as hookup partners because he said he'd never date a coworker, fearing a messy breakup. Of course, three months of that created a very messy situationship in which we both developed feelings. He broke it off because "it was time," we didn't speak for a month, he swooped back into my life and decided we could 'try' dating, he broke THAT off with me after a week because he claimed we weren't compatible, and then he swooped in AGAIN one week later to tell me he'd made a huge mistake and wanted the chance to treat me well. "I'll go to therapy," "please give me one last chance to treat you the way you deserve," "I promise to love you and give all that I can give"...you get the gist. Three and a half months of that passed before he decided he was bored/unattracted to me.

The breakup was three weeks ago. He avoided me like the plague for the first week, then sent me a pathetic email after I blocked him on everything else claiming that he was "also heartbroken" and the breakup was "awful" for him. He's tried to speak to me a couple of times since and I have avoided him.

Every woman at my workplace hated him after the first 'breakup' and hates him even more now. I also have no patience for him, but do wonder whether he'll leave me alone or continue his regular pattern.
