Giveee up! 10 months ago

In my opinion after a break up,
two things apply if your immediately friends with them
that your still in love with them and want them around
or you never truly were in love with them, or it had faded.

And tbh i feel no shame in giving up on this one for a while,
one day it would be ace to be friends with my two important exes.
but they both cheated soo..i wonder if i will truly ever be able to talk to them and not feel resentment for them being such twats!..
i know there both good people and with my more recent break up its just to painful to talk to him still, but one day id love to see him feel nothing and be friends, but for now i cant even begin to achieve this goalm and truthfully i dont want to..

I’ve had four real boyfriends.
75% of them cheated on me.
25% of them I’ve just left, so we can’t be friends with him yet. And I’m not sure that I want to, not more than casual acquaintances.
50% of them I am good friends with.
25% of them will never be in my life again.

It just sucks because before we even went out, we were the bestest friends and now that we don’t talk to each other anymore, its just driving me crazy! It doesn’t make me any happier, and even if i DID fall inlove with him again, it wouldn’t matter, because i just need him there beside me. I’m allowing myself to swallow my own pride.

I just want him in my life.



It's definitely possible! 16 months ago

I’m friends with all my exes and I count my “serious” ex-boyfriends as some of my best friends. Some I broke up with and some broke up with me. It only takes one person to start a friendship with an ex. Most people don’t expect it to happen, so by making a simple friendly gesture, you open up the door. Yeah, sometimes it’s hard and those feelings don’t automatically go away. You just have to make a conscious decision that you want to be friends and you’re willing to put in the effort to make it work… and it definitely takes an effort in the beginning. But the way I see it, if cared for someone enough to date them, why wouldn’t I care enough to be their friend? Just my two cents. :)

Is this Even Possible..
I honestly dont think so
at least not for a very long time..
Im strugglin im gonna have 2 cut him out completely hes not good for me..
I reli do hope to be friends one day
becauase we were such good friends before.

I think this holds true.

me and my friend used to be really tight when i slowly fell in love with her..now that we REALLY broke up..i just wanna go back to the way it was before we started dating..but its never easy to be friends with a girl who broke your heart three times..

We really like each other a lot still. I can’t stop being friends with him he’s awesome, and he feels the same way about me.



UGH! Never - my ex is terrible. 23 months ago

My ex was a TERRIBLE, awful person. In fact, so bad I wrote a book about it.

i want this to work.. 2 years ago

we were really good friends before we dated, i had feeling for him and he gave me his undivided attention, things were going so well. But we he had to end it…even though we dated for few months only, i can say i’m in love with him..i really need him around me, but it so hard seeing him with other girls..i really try to be mature about this (for goodness sake i’ve done this before) and agreed to be friends, but i know what i have to do. The only way i can fully get over him and treasure whatever we have right now, is to stay away from him…it will be an agonizing process but i need to do this for the both of us…i wish him all the best..b/c he was the best thing that happened to me (so far)...to all the sisters and brothers who are in the same chapter as me…one day a woman or a man will make you very happy and you could look back and say “i’, glad i had that experience”....
