LucreziaBorgia Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 i have a friend whom i like and who does not like me back Let your 'friend' go. Plain and simple. What you are doing to each other is grossly unfair and unneccesarily painful. It is unfair of you to use 'friends' as an excuse to settle for less when you want more, and it is unfair of him to keep you around if he doesn't want what you want. i know he is not trying either to make it work, it has all been left to me This means that he is simply waiting for you to give up and let this die a natural death. It is unfortunate he can't just walk away and break contact so that you can begin to get your head and heart back together. Since he won't do this, perhaps it is up to you to make the break that is eventually going to happen anyway. Save yourself any further heartbreak and end this. Let him know that you can't put yourself through this any more, and break off contact with him. It may not be what you want, but what you want from him simply isn't going to happen. So, you have to do what will work best. It truly would be the best for you both. Link to post Share on other sites

LucreziaBorgia Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i tried to let him go i stopped all communication with him for 3 months and in between he kept messaging asking how i was and tht he was feeling rely bad we were not talking and wanted to know wot he had done.........i told him tht i was hurting and maybe cud not c eye to eye nemore.....he said he cares alot abt me and does not want to loose one of the best things tht ever happened to him..........his closest friend and confidante. That was then. This is now: but i know he is not trying either to make it work, it has all been left to me... Just because he may have wanted to hold on to what you had at one time, doesn't mean he still wants to. If he is 'not trying to make it work' then that means he doesn't want it to work, and he is letting it die a natural death. In a case where a relationship is going downhill, you can't base the present on things they were doing in the past. Even if he does attempt to hold on - what possible good would it do you, if what he has to offer is not what you want and what you have to offer is not what he wants? What you had is gone. Changed. Neither of you is benefiting from this anymore. Time to let go. but all of this is killing me inside cant live like this......help me end it or at least get over it........ If this is killing you, then stop putting yourself in a position to be killed. Cut this off, and firmly. If he is now 'not trying to make it work' then he shouldn't have a problem with you walking away, particularly since he does not have the feelings for you that you do for him. Cutting him off firmly means that you have to gather up the strength to cut him off - even to the point where you do not accept any contact from him. Link to post Share on other sites
