sarahbaby75 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Hi guys, Me and my boyfriend broke up a couple of months ago, and after seeing him on and off during the break up, amoung a lot of crying over it, we got back together. We both decided that we would work on the things that broke us up in the first place, and are both (so far!) in a better place, and happier than we'v been before! Although the only problem now is my friends all dislike him, and dissaprove of us getting back together as theyv seen me upset during the break up and don't want me to get hurt again. He also has had a criminal past, which he is doing everything to make a fresh start from that, and i've always known about his past, and been ok with it, as he has changed and is doing everything now to make a better life for himself. So this is an issue for them, and they feel i shouldnt want to be with him also because of his past. A lot of my friends also have gone back to ex's that we all havent approved of, and it hasn't worked out, so they dont think i should make the same mistake. I just find it unfair that everyone else can "make the mistake" but i shouldn't be allowed because its not worked out for them?! Also i have always been the single girl for years,while they have all had boyfriends, and now its the other way around, and sometimes they make it really hard for me. One of our close friends got a boyfriend that everyone didnt lke after a while, she now hardly sees anyone anymore, and spends most of her time with him. Any advice would be appreciated... or even hearing about anyone that has gone through similar situations!! Thanks
atlnay Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Stop revealing too many details about your relationship with your friends. When you long get over something he did, believe it or not they may still be mad at him. No ones fault, they love you, but some women get overemotionally involved in their friends relations. Tell them the bare minimum, if they express disappointment at you still being with him, tell them you are fine and change the topic. Now, if you must share details, find one nonjudgemental friend who you can truly confide in and talk to them.

If you and him get along with his past, those are the only opinions that matter, right?
