MapleWish Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 My guy and I had courted each other for a short while but decided to break up to figure things out in our own lives. Lately it seems we've been doing better being a couple WITHOUT the label. We don't call eachother boyfriend and girlfriend anymore to each other's face although we ACT like it and still do couple things (but NOT anything physical). I'll call him my boyfriend if I'm talking about him to friends cause it's easier to call him a bf than explain the whole sitch. And we still say things like were together, we're dating etc. but all we did was get rid of the label when we "broke up". Why does it seem when you take away the labels, that takes away the pressure and the drama? We're not "friends with benefits" or whatever, we really like eachother and WANT to date but he's gotta figure his life out first. We're exclusive but it really feels a lot more chill for us ever since we "broke up". Btw we initially did want to be JUST friends when we broke up but we went with the flow and just started acting how we did when we dated and things have been going well
ExpatInItaly Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I don't really understand the point of this break-up/non-break-up. You're exclusive and friends still think you're a couple - but you're not? I suppose if it's working for you then go forth. But why not be honest with the people around you too, if they refer to him as your boyfriend? It doesn't sound that complicated. You broke up but decided to stay friends and are seeing what happens next.
