I talked to my x today...its only been a week since we broke up. He said "sometimes I have the urge to call you and tell you I want you back, but I don't"...it hurts. I miss him so much, and I can't get my mind off of him. I know we're not meant to be together b/c we are two totally different people and want 2 different things...but I really love him, and I want to stay friends it just hurts so much when I talk to him...what do i do?

Kind of the same thing happened to me a while ago
me and my ex broke up, we both really loved each other, we tried to be friends when neither one of us were completely over the relationship, we couldn't be friends because of fucked up emotions...
But there is a happy ending, about 1-2 years after we broke up, we can finally hang out without ripping each others heads off about the past.
I would say, you really care about this guy, if you know that your not meant to be together, then take a break. Let both of you get over the relationship, but let him know you'll always be there for him for friendship. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]

pinkchicky20 answered Thursday June 24 2004, 12:17 pm: the pain isnt going to go away any time soon. you love him and its still really early to think about getting over him. just talk to him and tell him how you feel and that you want to be friends because you dont want to lose him. and tell him everything your feeling. dont hold anything in. tell him its hard on you when you talk because of how you feel and that you dont want to stop talking but that it hurts when he says things like wanting you back but realizing he doesnt. there is no easy way of getting away from the pain. the only way i know that really helps is a lot of ice cream, your best friends, and some movies and an all nighter at your house. it helps just knowing you have someone there to help ya and it takes a lot of your mind. plus they are there to help you out! so just talk to him and have an all nighter with your friends and you will feel a bit better!

KiSsEs answered Thursday June 24 2004, 5:05 am: Let your x know how u feel becuase keepin it insIe can only make it worse. Also wanting to diffrent things isn't bad because ur 2 diffrent people, if u were just alike things would be boring. Diffrent can be good and remeber OPPOSITES ATTRACT!

MapleAdvice11 answered Thursday June 24 2004, 1:42 am: Just take your time, don't rush into being like best friends until you've had time to adjust to you guys having a different relationship now. And when it gets easier then you two can start being friends. [ MapleAdvice11's advice column | Ask MapleAdvice11 A Question ]
Siren_Cytherea answered Thursday June 24 2004, 1:22 am: Aww, honey. =(
Take a break from talking to him. Give your heart time to heal. Breakups hurt. Y'know why? It's chemical. We get physically addicted to the chemicals released by all the attention and attraction, and then when it stops, we go through withdrawal. Doesn't it suck?
True, though.
Just try doing everything you can to take your mind off of him, and don't talk to him until you heal a little more. A week is not that long a time. I wouldn't expect you to be healed and all by now. You shouldn't either. The human body takes awhile to heal, so give it the chance.
When you've healed enough, talk to him again, and resume your friendship.
The only other option is getting all mad at him and fighting for, like, three years. One of my exes and I did that. It sucked. Lol
Good luck in life and love! *Sends hugs in your direction*

xoxjessicaxo answered Thursday June 24 2004, 1:18 am: well, it will hurt for a while, but you eventually have to get used to the fact that ur not together anymore. maybe when ya hang out as friends, ya will see that u only love each other as friends, and nothing more. well just hang out a few times without any touching alot and kissing, jus as if you was hangin out with friends, and see what happens [ xoxjessicaxo's advice column | Ask xoxjessicaxo A Question ]
