be friends with an ex (REAL friends)

I have an ex that I really still love but I’m determined to be friends with him because I know how much he wants to be friends. Of course we have to try to stop having sex first

I stayed in good terms with all my exes minus one. And with one of them we are REAL friends. And 2 days ago I was actually asking him how that thing works in which people can go from having a great, intense relationship fool of common interests and goals to not even want to hear the other’s name. A mystery to me.

I went to my ex-girlfriend’s daughter’s memorial today, she overdosed a few weeks ago, and her current boyfriend was there and I thought I would be anxiety ridden. Lo and behold, I was not but he seemed a little anxious. It’s only taken me 2 years to get here but it feels kind of good.

It’s been difficult but very rewarding. :-)

but if the relationship was good, then it can work well.

its easy to be nice to each other face to face, but pending on the story it’s still a chore. In the end its stupid not to be friends over something thats not even going to matter in the future. Besides if there was something to bring you two together in the first place than why wouldn’t you make good friends.

But it is absolutely worth it. I think it’s sad how a perfectly good friendship can be wrecked by testing out its romantic possibilities. Fortunately, I have managed to hang on to one such friend. It’s a different kind of friendship—much closer and way more honest than any other I’ve had.

I’ve been having trouble with this more because of my own hangups than anything she’s been doing. My own insecurities and unreasonable expectations have at times put me in some miserable mental states but by keeping my eyes and mind open I’m getting better with it.

be hard. I don’t know what I really want. Actually, I do know what I want but can’t have. It makes it a real struggle to remain balanced. Such is life. :)

She called me last night and I don’t know if this means she’s going to stay in touch but we had a nice talk and caught up on some stuff. That’s cool and who knows?
