Why does he still care for me, but didnt care when he broke my heart?

You both sound young. If you're able to stop all contact with him to heal yourself, then do so! That's awesome if you really can do something like that. Just as you loved and cared for him, he has the same feelings for you. Men can fall in love with a woman a million times harder than they'd like to show or tell anyone. (Lets not play guys, you know it's true)... He wants to keep in contact with you in case things might not work out with his new girlfriend... If you're ok with you two remaining friends, then give yourself the time to heal and let him know you're ok with just staying friends and nothing more. There are a million good guys out there who are waiting to fall in love with someone like you :]

Don't let this guy keep you in control of your emotions by saying you're his "Family" who says that to their ex!

Anyway, everyone you meet in your life will either bring you a message or a lesson. Take this as a lesson and learn. Now you'll be better prepared for your next realtionship, and know what you want.

Good luck!
