My Ex and I just got back on speaking terms. We were told that a close friend of ours sabotaged the relationship because he wanted to go out with me.... which turned out to be true. I have wanted to tell my Ex about getting back together. I've called him and emailed and I haven't heard anything from him. I saw him the other night and we were hanging out and things were just fine. I don't know what to do. I want to tell him, but how? What are some approaches I can use?

Like some how get one that guys name. like say that bad friends name is bob. say like "yeah that one day when me and bob went shopping it was fun,""but i still cant trust hhim after what he did to us" then if your ex says WHat do you mean? say like "HOw he sabotaged us? you never heard???" or theres the STraight up approach. Just some how casually get on the subject of you dating. and just bring it up about him and how mean that was and your sorry and stuff.
vickiooos answered Friday June 30 2006, 4:03 pm: really, the best way to deal with relationships is honesty. it's really hard but it's true. so maybe he's not returning your calls or e-mails because he's a bit lost himself or like the columnist answered before he, there is that chance that he has moved on in that time frame between together and not even speaking.
so i suggest you be straightforward. next time you SEE him bring it up. tell him you're sorry about how things ended and that with this new found information it's gotten you thinking about how great it use to be. and just see what happens from there.

There is still time inbetween that he probably managed to get over you?
But to try to get him back,
just tell him you need to talk to him,
just be normal, and if he does say he doesnt want to get back together, just accept it,
but Iwoudl wait longer, because if your just getting back on talking, you need to start learning to be friends again as well.
