bonym agony auntHow did you break up, upon what terms? Was it an amicable decision that you both made etc etc. The reason I ask is because I am trying to understand why he dislikes you as you put it, why dont you ask him how he feels. Sometimes when 2 people break up, becoming friends isnt always the right solution, but if you really want to be his friend, then ask him how he feels. xXx

Unfortunately sometimes men need a kick up the bum! You've said your happy to just be friends so go to him, say hi and ask how he's been and what he's been up to. I'v been here too and unfortunately I was young and daft so I never made the move to try and patch things up and be mates it was only 3 yrs later that I realised I was being daft and I made the move to catch up! Im sure you dont want to wait 3 yrs so just go and ask him how he's been, if he's a bit mean and rude ask him why he's being that way and either you'll find out why he's being like he is or you can walk away knowing you tried!

Good luck!!!!

guardian87 agony auntI too have this same situation. I wish I could be friends with my ex except for one thing: trusting her. I could trust her as far as i could throw her. but maybe what u might want to consider is to talk to him more, be more friendly around him. if u two had just broken up, then give him a little space, then you can start to talk to him afterwards. If you broke up with hima while ago, then its either he's hurt and doesnt really think he could trust u (which u need to show him how he could by just talking with him more, try to attend parties he is going to be at (of course with an invite) so you guys would have to get along), or just because of any fights afterwards that u two had (something along those lines) he just doesnt want to deal with that drama.

Agian, its all about trust/dependability in my opinion. Gain that back, and the two of you are friends

I was in your situation myself 2 years ago,at the moment he is still abit bitter but he will eventually come round.

He probably finds it awkward and weird just being a friend to you and if he loved you he is more than likely hurt over it.

Give him a little space and time to get his head round it all but to be honest i don't think it will go back to the way it used to be,it takes time but im sure everything will work out fine.
