monkeys Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I have a question. Eo what extent does pride impede getting back with someone? I broke up with my ex and then changed our FB status (when I was drunk). To him, this was humiliating as it resulted in people (family, friends) calling him and it pointed to the fact that he had been dumped. I tried to convince him that noone could have known it was he who had been dumped, but he pointed out that my status had changed to 'single' whilst his remained 'in a relationship' until he was able to amend it. Anyway but two days later I realised my mistake and now the only thing that prevents him from wanting to give it another try is the fact that I did that, that I effectively wounded his pride. He says he needs to think carefully about things. I know that I screwed up, and I have apologised relentlessly for this. I know he still loves me and he misses me as he tells me this. I know he doesn't want to be with anyone else. Last night he got drunk and called me continuously, oscillating between anger and sadness and confusion. He was fairly ruthless and it seems clear to me that he has a lot to work through if we are to try again. As do we both. We have agreed to be friends but I know that this is going to confuse us both. I guess what I really want to know is, can people (specifically men) get past their pride if they love someone enough? Any takers?
