Question Posted Monday January 24 2005, 2:03 pm

I hang out with a big group of friends who used to be really nice. My boyfriend and I split up and now our whole group of friends is kind of split down the middle. I don't talk to my ex and he doesn't talk to me and it's really uncomfortable. I still have friends there but I find being around my ex hard and most people there seem bitchy now. I would go and make new friends but there isn't really anyone else that I get along with or click with. What should I do?

Sometimes you need to confront people to make them understand the issue at hand. Your relationship with your boyfriend has nothing to do with your friendships. It should not come between you all. Make them understand just because the relationship between you and your ex is not there doesn't mean your frienship should die. Let them understand that it didn't work out but that you don't feel uncomfortable around them so why should they feel uncomfortable you.

just move on and forget the past. go out with your other friends and socialize at maybe a dance or volunteer or maybe you could even participate in a dance class or sport and make even more friends. the point is if this guy makes you feel weird you might as well forget him because he isn't worth you time.

hmm well this often happens in school etc after a while because people always change over time and therefore the relationships of friends also change. If you can find one or two people out of the group who you get on with well and start hangin out more. eventually you'll probably end up with your own little group. it definitely isn't worth hanging around with the whole group when it's just like a sinking ship anyway...

this happened to me too, except, i was part of the group that broke up instead of the couple that broke it up. but all i can tell you is you need to talk to him. not exactly "talk", but tell him in private that you like the people you hang out with and you dont want to lose friends. tell him to keep the group together, you and him need to stay friends. then have you and him tell your freinds that your going to a movie, and if anyone wants to come they can. that way your friends no things are back to normal.
