Talked to my Ex just now after I sent him a goodbye letter last week

[dustpull]

We both are glad that we are speaking again to each other.

He's dating a guy and he's happy, I'm happy for him.

I was jealous and a wreck before, but I don't know why I am happy for him now, I guess I've already moved on too?

Anyways I'm dating a guy too next week and he wished me luck.

 

 

Hopefully my feelings for my ex won't change, and that I will only see him as a friend.

 

How can you be friends with your ex? Is it okay to be friends with them if you really genuinely like them as a person?

 

Thanks!

You can be friends with an ex when no feelings greater than friendship exist in either person.

It is possible but you have to be truly honest with yourself. I had a messy breakup last year and it was a short relationship but very intense. it took me months to feel myself again to any degree and i mean this was bad. She ended up changing her number, pretty much hating me. I was very angry and felt abandoned BUT, we were friends before we got together. Im glad i didn't end up with her now and im sure she is me. We are now back to being friends again and i mean actual freinds. I feel i can offer her honest advice on her relationship and she has done the same for me in the relationship that has just ended for me. In fact she was one of the people i turned to and was very supportive.

 

so yes i think you can but you will know for sure when that time is, when you don't feel like you have to reply to a text right away and when you are truly happy for them and do not have ANY sexual attraction.

 

During my time of getting over her I had contacted her a LOT. and i had just started to feel i was moving on and i got a tet message from her, now this message kind of threw me. It was out of the blue and i wasn't sure what it would say so I didnt read it. for around 2 months i didnt read that text as i thought it might put me back a bit and i wasnt quite ready for it. when i finally did i had forgotten that i actually recieved it and it just popped in my head one day. It was basically a just hope you are ok ect to which i replied and told her why it took so long. we are now friends and talk often and im glad it's that way.
