I am really good friends with my former 5 years bf but the break-up was mutual and none of us had romantic feelings anymore. So I guess it was the ideal situation to stay friends.

 

But what if the break up is not so mutual ? If you never had a friendship dynamics to get back to ? How to gauge expectations ?

 

I am trying to be friends with someone and I find difficult to deal with it. Always worried about how to act, not give wrong impressions, not being bothered if I am not his first priority anymore ...

 

I also think that his offer of being friends comes out from guilt and not from a genuine desire. Like a smooth transition from lovers to civil acquaintances.

 

What do you think ? How can we make this friendship work ?
