Hi guys, I posted a few days back about breaking up with my ex. Im not sure how to post the original thread though for reference.

 

Anyway as I mentioned, my ex and I share the exact same circle of friends so looks like the no contact rule is out of the window. Also we're going to be working together from time to time and to see her as just a friend / colleague is absolutely crippling me. The pain is immense. I've loved this girl for years, like no one else.

 

For the past few weeks I've not been coping very well at all. I've been drinking excessively to escape and I know this isn't the answer but it sure helps in the short term. There have been days where I just haven't got ready, I've been drinking all through the day in some cases and I need a way out. I need to stop this behaviour as it's disgusting. I'm about to start sessions of therapy so hopefully this will help in some way.

 

Anyway, back to the same circle of friends scenario. Can you be JUST friends with a girl who you loved so much and still have feelings for?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hope

Hi there - sorry to hear things are so bad for you. My advice, keep it to low contact. Do what needs to be done and avoid any unnecessary contact. Keep it professional and cool (if you can) at work - and try to see friends when she isn't around. Invite people over etc.

 

Good luck.
