Breaking up is harder than I expected, because we still have feelings for each other...

Question - (23 September 2005) 1 Answers - (Newest, 23 September 2005)
A female , anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I broke up 2 months ago after going out for 2 years. We just weren't in the same place in our lives- my career is set, but he doesn't have a steady job. He felt inadequate and depressed, and felt that he needed to be on his own.

Since breaking up, we decided to remain friends. But it's been complicated by the fact that we still have feelings for each other, and we ended up sleeping together the last few times that we were hanging out. We don't want to get back together because there were too many issues in our relationship. Despite this, I still can't seem to get over him. I feel like I'm not strong enough, which is so unlike me. Any advice?

I Dont Lie agony auntSometimes its hard to move on from someone or something you hold dearly to your heart. You feel you have to do it, but at the same time are not strong enough to pull through it. And although they say time heals all wounds (which is true for most), its hard gonig through the healing process. I'd suggest you decide what you really want out of this. Make sure if you dont want him back that you both cut all ties (meaning no sexual intimacies anymore). And if you do want him back, you both really have to sit down and talk it over. Personally, I think you both have a great potential of being a couple again, just need to work things out. The reason for break up isnt a seroiusly damaging one so why not.
