friends with ex?
Find a Conversation

six months into our relationship he found out i was cheating. we broke up but eventually he took me back and i changed. only he didnt see that. he never regained his trust in me. i dont think he trusted me in the first place. he didnt seem to care about me anymore because he wouldnt call and spent more time with his friends, lieing and chosing them over me. he didnt trust me because of 'little things that kept happening' as he put it, which were crazy things like me not answering me phone or strange cars in front of my house, but he added that he could trust me if they didnt happen. i was angry and yelled constantly. after 14 months of feeling guilty and being put down, i decided it was enough. this was 2 weeks ago.
A few days after the break up we began to talk. phone conversations lasted all night. we would meet up everyday and he was the sweetest guy ever. he told me he wanted me in his life one way or another but never asked for me to take him back, instead he said for us to remain friends. sometimes it seems as though he thinks he was the one who broke up with me, the way the break up doesnt seem hurt or affect him at all. he thinks we can get back together one day. i'm torn. i love and hate him at the same time. i wish he would just change his ways and come back to me as a boyfriend not a friend. we have such a strong connection. is it possible to remain friends with an ex? what if both people still have feelings for one another?

Hi swtbutsinful and welcome to the board.
It is possible to be friends, but not usually until after a period of healing and moving on.
Hello swtbutsinful... i was scrolling through some of the topics and came across yours and it's a situation that i have dealt with before and helped alot of girls get through as i am studying to become a social worker. I love helping people out with their problems so i know this message is a little late so i don't know if your situation is still the same. If your back together then great but if not then you can add me to msn
blossom-bubbles@hotmail.com to talk more bout this and actually even if your back with him feel free to add me if you have any questions.
Hope to hear from you,
Kristine
