juliemanooli Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 My ex boyfriend said to me a week after he dumped me, "I'll never know if breaking up with you was a mistake or not, but i want us to be friends." What does he really mean?
Geishawhelk Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Oh lordy. We should have a "what does let's be friends mean?" forum set aside for questions like this! He's either feeling guilty and thinks being included in your life will be good for you - soften the blow - or - He's keeping his options open and putting you on hold until his next break up so he's got a home comfort to turn to. This applies as much to girls who say this, as guys.

What does he really mean?It could mean exactly what he said, but between the lines, I would assume it means "I don't feel like I made a mistake."
