Boyfriend as your best friend???

Tagged as: Breaking up, Friends<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (30 March 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 March 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *oniqueEE writes:

Following my recent breakup with my boyfriend, its been very difficult for us not to talk to each other as he always said that our friendship was the most important part of us.

Recently we've been texting, casually. He's still able to make me smile but I'm worried I'm doing the wrong thing.

Is it wrong to keep in casual contact for now? I feel that its easier to be in contact rather than resist, but if you were in my situation would you completely avoid him?

We're falling back onto our friendship and I feel I'm discovering the part of him the romance clouded...

Can I stay in contact?

-NothingLasts4ever- agony auntI don't see a problem with it myself. As long as you know that you're only friends now, it should be fine. But I do agree with part of the other comment, if you find someone new, be careful because they may not like the fact you're friends with your ex.

TimmD agony auntIt depends on a few things. Why did you break up? Are you worried he still may have feelings for you? Do you still having feelings for him? Staying friends isn't a bad thing. But if one of you still has feelings while the other doesn't, THAT could be a bad thing. If one of you still has feelings while the other most definitely will not ever again, then it would be wise to break it off.

Keep in mind if you do stay friends and meet someone else, that new partner may have a problem with you being friends with an ex.
