How do you guys feel about staying friends after a long term relationship, that had a really bad break up ?
Should you still try to be friends.... Should you both just move on ? Ill give examples of what happened in my situation a little later Here's the Actual Situation: ================================================ 7 Year On/Off Relationship [Started at Age 12] Grew Up Together Was Each Others Best Friend/ Boyfriend/Girlfriend Talked Marriage Stuck With Each Other Through VERY Difficult Times Break Up: Caught Emotional Cheating for 3 months. Wasn't Willing to Leave the Other Kid completely to work On Our Relationship Wasn't Willing to Leave the Other Kid completely to work On Us Being Friends Status Now: Haven't Talked for 2 Months [prior to Christmas phone call] She calls, I Ignore She Wished Merry Christmas, and Called and that is the last we have talked. Now She Sounds Like she really wants to talk/ be friendly again but what do you think? Stay Up -1- Subliminal |

Simple
If you want to forget her, dont be friends If you miss talking to her and all that, be friends Just see how it goes and howyou feel about it, just know this is suppose to make you feel better, not feel like your obligated to be friends (if this makes any since) If you want a personal opinion Me and my boyfriend have been best friends for 7 years (10 years) and we started dating thissummer, and god forbit but if we do ever break up, i would love to stay his friend, but at the same time i would prolly feel the awkwardness and know my friendship with him prolly wont be the same |

Why should there be an exception now that shes on the other side? Let me know Stay Up -1- Subliminal |
