Me and my b/f of one year just broke up about a month ago. He broke up with me saying so many excuses that I dont even know what's true. Anywho, he still wants to be friends with benefits and hang out as "friends" but he rubs it in my face about all these other pretty girls he's gotten to know a lil better.

Should I keep trying to get him back or just give up? I really love him though and this is hurting me terribly.

hi..sweety we have the same situation. my boyfriend and i brokeup 2 years ago. i still love him until now but im ready to let him go...just learn to do it girl...its for yourself..its time for you to be happy again and there's so many guys in the world. i just want to say let him go. show to your ex-bf that his not the only guy, try to enjoy with your friends, make yourself busy or pretend that he's not existing..i know its hard for you to do it but you just have to! if your really meant for each other there will come a time you will see each other and maybe he will realize what a fool he is for letting you go.

"Friends with benefits", sounds like he wants to have his cake and eat everything else in sight. When he goes on about these other girls, why don't you play him at his own game and tell him about the fab gorge guys you met? ...which you should also do. Tell him you aren't interested in his relationships, you could be really honest with him and tell him how you feel about the whole situation and how you feel about him.

he may just be doin this to make you jealous.im a boy and i know that i have done this but as for 'benefits' tell him that you are not comfortable with that outside of a relationship.this may convince him to want you back.benig a straight 16y/o male i know that some of us though are also pigs.you know your situation better than anyone but take notice of what i said.it may come in useful.if he loves you he will come back otherwise he's not worth it.im sure you are beautiful and will find another guy worthy of you with no problems.

Ok sweety, what you should be concentrating on is getting over this guy. By being friends with him you will not be helping yourself at all in the process of getting over him, in fact you'd be mkaing it much much harder. By hearing about these other 'pretty girls' it must be so painful and hard for you and you don't need to put up with this.

This guy is being incredibly insensitive and it's highly unlikely you will get back together by being his friend.

You deserve better than going through all this emotional pain, so i suggest to stop seeing this guy as a friend as it will only make matters worse.

Getting over someone may take alot of time and isn't always easy but at the end of the day it is totaly worthit.

Organise fun things to do with your friends and meet new guys and eventually you will be totaly over him and wonder what you ever saw in him! best of luck xxx

Ok, this is clearly a case of "forget he exists- for the love of God!!"!!! I know it's hard when you love someone to let them go, but there are so many guys out there in the world for you to love, who will give you the respect you actually deserve. This guy is being completely insensitive to your feelings and disrespectful of you in general. It will hurt him more if you just move on and forget about him than if you continue to try and win back his affections. Make it clear he's old news and you'll have him eating out of your hand!
