along60years Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 It has been nearly six months since my boyfriend and I of nearly 7 years broke up. We are still in contact occasionally, but it is starting to feel more and more like we are strangers. I don't want him to disappear from my life and my memory, but I don't know what do to. I miss my best friend. Do I try and reconnect with him or should I walk away? We were living long distance for the last year of our relationship and haven't seen eachother since New Years'. I feel like all of our history and the feelings of what it is like to be together are going to disappear if I let them. I don't want it all to fade away...
theonlyjuan Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Hmmm. I have started to think about this lately. It is so hard to act yourself around someone you were once with. You don't want to bring up old feelings and the past. If you are both 100% over each other, you could start a friendship from nothing again. Don't bring up the past and old feelings. You probably have to start from the beginning, like you just met. You have to let go of the past. I don't know if you can both be cool with bringing up the old times. Just start a new history as friends After 7 years, I think it's too soon. A lot of ex's become friends, but quite a while after
Own Worst Enemy Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 which is more painful, not seeing him again, or seeing him with his tongue down someone else's throat? the answer to that question is your answer!
Author along60years Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 I wish it were that simple, because, as much as it would hurt to see him with someone else, that pain would be only temporary. Not having him in my life would be forever and I don't know if that hole will ever go away.
