When ex ends the friendship

[dudley87]

Long story short; me and my ex just recently became friends after the 3rd attempt; this time we both agreed to make it happen and just get along with each other; yeh right!! It lasted 4 weeks; in them 4 weeks we never argued or anything and i really made the effort to be there for her when she needed me; i helped her with a fair few things in this time and today she dropped the bombshell saying that this friendship cant work because i am her ex and it feels like i am treating her like my gf huh?? I did nothin of the sort :s i told er this and she said well it feels like that; anyway she said we need a clean start; i didnt have the energy to argue with her so i just said ok i wont stand in your way and look after yourself; she came to give me a couple of my things but i never spoke to her; i just took them and drove off; afterwards i sent her a text saying looking after yourself and she replied with "xx" a couple of hours later she text me saying she forgot to pay me what she owed me; it was £20 but i replied its oki dont want it so dont worry about it; she never replied back; i wont lie i have been down in the dumps ever since but i cant understand why she did this; any ideas?

You didn't offer any kinds of details into why your relationship ended (or why this is your "3rd attempt" at a friendship) so no one's going to be able to give you specific guesses as to why.

 

Besides, the only one who can give the clearest answer as to why she decided as she did is her, and she already gave you her reasons. I suspect they are valid, and for whatever reason that's not what you want to hear. Oh well, them's the breaks anyways.

The relationship ended because she was the one who ended it by saying she wanted to be single again; i feel like iv been played all the way through; this was the 3rd attempt of friendship because the first two times it was my fault for being an idiot towards her an treating her like my gf; this time i promised this would not happen an all was going well until yesterday

^ Well, there you go. She can't be single if her ex-boyfriend is hanging around. She is moving on. No one wants to date a woman whose ex still calls and texts all the time. I suspect you already know that....
