Question - (30 June 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 30 June 2013)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I left my boyfriend on Monday. It wasn't a good relationship and I couldn't handle his temper anymore, but I did love the times with him when he wasn't mad. He has a great sense of humor and I'd like to still be on pleasant terms, be able to catch up from time to time. I met up with him a few days later in the hope of clearing things up between us, and us moving on eventually to someday be friends (even if not straight away). Before this, he still had me on Facebook and when we first met up, although things where awkward, we where still kinda talking about general stuff and kinda joking around.

But...He didn't like what I had to say. He got cranky and walked out. I messaged him explaining that I had just wanted us to be friends, but I wouldn't contact him again. He then shot me a nasty message back about how I was cynical and heartless, to never contact him again, ever. He's now deleted me from any social networking.

Do you think he'll ever try to contact me again? I think he will, he loved me a lot and said I wasn't just his girlfriend, but more like his best friend. I think he's just had he's pride hurt right now but...I guess I'm just curious what other people think. I don't wanna be told what I want to hear either. Honest opinions please :) Thanks

A female reader, Alba5 United Kingdom +, writes (30 June 2013):

As you finished the relationship you have to see that he needs time to heal. Whenever you call (even if it is still to be friends) he's going to hope that there is a chance you'll get back together.

Of course you go on well at the start he was trying to impress you and win you back and when he knew that was impossible he got upset and walked away.

I think you need to ask yourself why you want to remain friends is it because you still care? or is it because you want to keep an eye on him?

Give him space and if friendship is possible it will happen but don't rub the guys face in it too much he's obviously devastated that he has lost you.
