Author l2hvn Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 You guys are all right. There's no way you can ever be just friends with your ex. Maybe years from now, I might. But not when the wound is still fresh. I know I cannot go backwards. It sucks because I really want to help him. But I just feel deep down that I would just be strung along if I am there for him as just a *friend.* And once he gets back on his feet, what? He decides to see other people? No way. He should've had enough faith in our relationship that we would overcome this together. He should've had enough trust in me, as a gf, that I would be there for him. But I don't think he does. And that's what I've decided. I can only move forward.
IhavenoFREAKINclue Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Did anyone read my post? It is possible. If both people are mature enough to realize that their relationship didn't work out, and are ok with seeing their ex be with other people, then why can't it be done? OHHH OOOHH I KNOW WHY!!!!! Because most people aren't mature enough!
brittbritt Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I was friends with almost all of my ex's. And everytime there were advances to have sex or get back together!

Because most people aren't mature enough! Sorry... doesn't have anything to do with *maturity* in my case. It has to do with having the strength to move on and the resilience to NEVER look back. When a woman decides to leave me that's it. No more contact - ever. There is absolutely no valid reason to be *friends* with someone who has screwed me over. Why oh why aren't people *getting* this?

I get it, totally. People only hang out with exes to keep their options open, some people like to do that break-up-and-get-back-together crap. It didn't even work out on Friends, I don't know what these people are thinking.
babbah Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 it still depends on how you two broke up. what is the reason behind? if it aint that serious why not befriend him/her? are you closing the door the moment you broke up? dont you think that it is still possible that you will get back to each other again. what if you are very much in love with the person and somehow you wanted to be with him again, no matter how long wil it take.... breaking up isnt the end of everything between the two of you. maybe at first you will feel anger, but maybe when you think about the moment that you have shared....maybe at the end of the day you will not let those memories slip away..... i agree with those who broke up but are still friends....
