awsgirl Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 So I have been seeing this guy for about 5 months now. We said from the beginning that we were going to eventually end things, because he is an atheist and does not want kids. I want kids and I am Christian. We really liked each other, which is why we pursued the relationship anyway. Well, I could not get those two things off my mind lately & we both decided that it would be best to start being friends. He said he needs some time to himself (a few weeks) before he can talk to me again. I understand. I am just soo nervous that the friend thing won't work out. I love him so much and I want him to be a part of my life. Everyone is telling us that we will not be able to be friends. :-/
Mrin Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 It will be hard but he's doing the right thing and taking some time. To be frank with you, the single best thing the two of you can do to make this work is start dating other people and make sure the other knows about it.
Zahara Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Everyone is right. If you love him so much, you can't be friends, at least in the right sense of the word. You can't be friends when you are emotional about someone.
Assasda Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Did you just want to vent, or is there a question there?
d0nnivain Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 You seem to be coming at this from an intellectual rather than emotional perspective Because of that I'll be positive & say you may be able to be friends. It will take time. Go slow. When you each get new SOs those people will have an influence on whether you can still be friends. Time is your best ally here.
