Is my ex trying to hurt me!?

Me and my daughters mother are no longer together but we live together. I was living on my own until her family wanted me to move back in with them. So I did and it's been very different between me and my ex. She is sarcastic at times mean and short and punchy. But then sometimes she is cool and we get along well. Like for instance last week I got a hair cut and I noticed that she was flirting with me and looking at me and talking to me like before but then the next day she starte to act different again. She is currently on two dating websites... And I overheard her tell her mother that she is looking for a man! As you can see I still love her very much and I want to fix our relationship. People are telling me two things 1 they say to act indifferent as though I don't care...and then on the other hand people are telling to show her that I'm willing to change and show her that I want to make it work! I don't know what to do! Her parents want use together... But they say it's up to her. I told her that I still love her a few weeks ago and she said that I need to move on! We are family and I love her what should I do? Ladies please I'm looking for good advice!

    This happened to my sister and her hubby once. He tried everything in the book to get her back and she just kept on shunning him. Finally one day I found out that he had given up and made a date with an attractive school teacher and it snapped her ways of thinking! She became extremely jealous and went to talk things out with him. She couldn't bare the thought of loosing him to another attractive lady who was very respected in the town. She took him back very quickly!

    I would suggest keeping yourself smelling very nice and clean and very attractive at all times along with being a gentleman under all circumstances and try it!

    Do not play games. There is SO much advice out there about getting someone's attention by resorting to games, like "no contact" or acting indifferent like you mentioned. It's tempting to do this because it does give you a sense of power to watch someone squirm for you but if you get someone by using these tactics, what does it say about that person? I think a lot of people get together this way and look at our divorce rate? Then when they want out of the marriage they just cheat. I say be up front and honest. If she can't appreciate a mature man who speaks his voice then screw her and you're too god for her if she insists on acting like a childish brat. Be yourself dude.

    If she told you to move on, it sounds like she has made up her mind, BUT if you want to give one last shot at winning her back, my advice is to be very kind and helpful. Do nice things for her, in fact, do nice things for other people in front of her. Act like you are interested in what she says, be supportive of her, back up things she says in front of other people, but never tell her anything that suggests your feelings for her. That might scare her off. Also, maybe make yourself more busy/social. Go work out, go out to the lake, have a guy's night, etc. She will see you out having fun as if you are just fine without her and she will start missing you. Never go on another date or act interested in another girl though, that will make her insecure and just strengthen her decision to leave you.

    No offense at all sir, but you have GOT to man up. She made her intentions very clear when she signed up for the dating site, etc. You are allowing her to use you as a welcome mat that she can simply walk over at her leisure. Make up your mind. Stay and put up with the repercussions, or move out and move on. When you decide to find someone who treats you with the respect that you deserve, as opposed to someone who treats you spitefully, I'd wager this will no longer be a problem in any capacity. Best of luck to you.

    Actions speak louder than words! Get a place of your own and live your life. If she doesn't want your nothing you say or do will change that. However, if she is just angry then one day she will come back to you so just remain single for awhile.
