About a few months ago my girlfriend came to be and said that she had a change of heart and did not want to date me any longer. Eventually she formed a relationship with someone else. Simple.

 

In the two years that we've known each other and the year we've dated there is quite some history written. Anyway, we have a lot of mutual friends. Because of this I spent my time finding new friends, and have been quite happy since there's no drama. Occasionally I hang with those friends we both share; and that's when I see her and her new boyfriend. You know how I feel about that.

 

I gained a new job and she was nice enough to give me her information to use as a reference. I guess some would say this is the first time we've talked since breaking up. I kept it simple and left it work related. But the point of contact open up something else. Every so often she ask for my opinion, or help. And a lot it gives me the implication that she doesn't know who to turn too(not even the boyfriend).

 

Worst part about it is that she's tugging on the old strings that I still have attached to our relationship, but I know it's not the best thing for me. But it's odd..I hate the fact that we don't talk anymore period.

 

Today she opened up and said she didn't like the idea of us not talking. I told her that our friendship would go back to square one as if I didn't know her(because things changed so much under a short period of time). Is it best for me to just leave her alone until I'm truly comfortable with the situation, or will I only be comfortable until I found someone else?

Friendship will never be the same as before the relationship. If emotional torture and being stuck to someone who doesn't want a relationship with you is your thing, then by all means go for it. If not you should just move on and let it be.
