Tried Friendship Thing
| Sat, 06-21-2008 - 11:55am |
Hello,
My boyfriend and I were together for about 10 months and in the course of that time, he kissed a girl after we were together for about 6 months. I was livid and had a terrible time trusting him. He did everything he could to make things right again but I was so hurt and angry (and didn't know how to deal) that I lashed out at him for everything he said and did.
So, a month ago, he broke up with me. It wasn't after he broke up with me that I realized all this but at that point, it was too late. After meeting up one last time, I gave him his space and didn't contact him any way until he was ready to talk.
2 weeks later, he emailed me a joke that started a dialogue between us. We decided to try and be friends and see where it goes.

Welcome to the jcgirl19,
Before being friends, usually each of you would need to heal significantly before moving into the 'friends' zone and being comfortable with it.
Thanks for your input. I think the more frustrating thing for me right now is that I feel lik I'M there, but he's not. But I don't think he recognizes that he's not.
I think with an ex, you either need to be strictly platonic friends (and it's far too soon for that in your situation) or you need to be ready to try again 110%.
