talking to ex's


Question Posted Friday October 9 2009, 9:50 pm

I broke up with my boyfriend last weekend. We decided that we don't want to hate each other and want to be friends and talk but when would be a good time to talk? I'm over him except that I miss talking to him but I'm 90% sure he still loves me.

If you think he still has any feelings left for you, you need end your "friendship" with him and be the bigger person. It might be a friendship to you, but to him it's just an opportunity to remain in your life in hopes that you'll change your mind and eventually get back together with him. It's not fair to hold on to the part of the relationship you liked (the communication) and discard the other parts. Don't forget to take his feelings into consideration.

Either you want to be with him or you don't. If you don't, you need to move on. It'll be tough at first, but it'll be much easier for both of you later on. And when enough time has passed and he no longer has feelings for you, then you two can consider being friends. As for right now, this is really mean. Every time you talk about another guy or get happy because of another guy, it's going to crush his heart all over again. He's stuck in the friend zone right now, and trust me, he's miserable about it.

If you feel that he's genuinely over you, which you've admitted to doubting, you guys can talk any time. If he's really over you, there shouldn't be a communication barrier. How will you feel, though, when he starts talking about other girls and asking you advice about how to make his new girl happy? I predict some awkward times up ahead for both of you. If you're smart and truly want things to be over with him, you'll get out now why you can. If you guys have a fight post break-up, it's unlikely that you'll ever be able to repair the damage.

That's one of those things you have to deal with when you break up with someone. It hurts but you have to give yourself and the guy time to heal before you can talk about being friends. They say it takes half the time you were together to get over eachother. Either take that, or if you really really want to talk to him, just say I miss talking to you, and that's that. You don't want anything more or less than talking. Good luck
