I am sick of being "just friends" with my exboyfriend


Question Posted Wednesday December 30 2009, 6:24 pm

My boyfriend and I broke up because of stress being put on him by his family which caused us not to see each other much and although I tried to understand, I was still hurt by us never getting to spend time together. Now we are broken up but still good friends. I think taking time off from the relationship has helped us. He said he would like to "try again" when his family issues are resolved, but I don't know how long that will be and I really miss us being together. How can I convince him I want to help and not hinder? I just want us to be able to be more than friends again...

Have you ever seen John Tucker Must Die? If you have maybe you see the connection? If not he had excuses for why he couldn't be "official" with his girlfriends too. I am not saying there is a correlation between this and your relationship, but I can't help but wonder.

If you guys still see each other now, why wouldn't he date you? It stinks that he is having family problems, but why does that mean he can't still be with you? It makes no sense. Think about it.

Tell him you have reached a point where being just friends isn't good enough. If he gives excuses or says maybe one day but not right now, you know he's full of it.

Tell him that you want to be more than friends, and offer to help with his family issues. Just because he has them, doesnt mean he cant be with someone. You could try and help him with his problems, while giving him the love and support he might be missing out on while his family is having problems.

suggest that to him, and i mean, he will do what he wants, but that might help change his mind.

Hope i helped and good luck!
