sdarren40 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 My ex and I were best friends since we were 5 years old. After college,we fell in love but after a few years of living together, we decided to break up. I will now be moving back to my hometown. I will keep strict NC because I am still hopelessly in love with him and I need to move on. But I have every intention of staying friends with him in the future. Our relationship was for 4 years, but our friendship was 17 years. I still want him in my life in the long run even if it's just a friend. But I am worried that NC will make him forget about me. I don't want that to happen...If we don't end up together, that's fine. But our friendship is incredibly important to me. I don't want to risk losing that....
Leandro Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 you were friends for 17 years! I don't think he will forget about you for a long time. Just stick with NC to heal.
Username37 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 17 years is a long time. He won't be forgetting. Go NC and stick with it. It's a terrific way to heal NC = No pain
GrayClouds Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 And if he does forget, he is not much of a person. Focus on yourself and pursuing a great life.

I also was friends with my ex when we were young. And yes thats the hard part because youve lost a friend too. Soo I know your pain.Me and my ex have been broke up for 5 months now. Its hard but he still checks in like once a week, with hi or hows it going. I dont read much into it Just think he misses my friendship.He wont forget you. Stay NC untell you feel better about the breakup.Then you can be friends. Good luck....
