Does he want to be friends after our break up?

Question - (21 February 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 22 February 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my boyfriend broke up a couple of weeks ago when he decided we couldn't work as a couple, and ever since we've been rowing and arguing and calling each other names etc.

Anyway yesterday I realized that actually it hadn't been working for a while and it probably was the best thing, so I text him basically telling him I'm sorry and he was right and I was wrong and I would really love it if we could be friends and be close as I don't wanna lose him.

He text me back about 10 minutes later saying 'Im at work. So ill text you when im free x' and I replied 'ok have fun x'.

That was this time yesterday and I haven't heard anything, nor have I said anything to him.

What's up with that?

Does he not wanna be my friend or is he playing hard to get or does he just need space or what?

If he said he was gonna text me I don't think it's acceptable to not do so.

Advice would be greatly appreciated x

i can talk to my sons mother we are friends,however,its been years,hurt and anger,attraction,jealousy etc is far gone now.if there is still feeling and you want to be friends,then u wont be able to let go. a couple of weeks sounds like being friends is really try and get him back. if he wont come back,the choice is out of your hands and you need to let go.

You're going down the wrong road. He hasn't text back in one day and you've already got annoyed. 'If he said he was going to text me, I don't think it's acceptable not to do so'.

The truth is you probably won't hear from him. I never kept in contact with ex's for this reason. There is too much pain and history, and the best thing to do is let it go. Now I actually feel totally free of them, and I've found someone far better. Let him go. It wasn't working out, and your reaction to him not texting in one day says that you're going to end up even more hurt. You've apologized and wished him well. Now let him go.

From experience, the friends thing never really works out becuase once you see him with someone else you'll get hurt or vice versa.

He's probably still thinking about the text just give him abit of time.

If he still doesn't reply, then leave him to it. You've done your part, you apoligized and tried to be civil about things. He is the one who is acting unfair.
