Carrot2000 agony auntKnowing how devastated you were when your relationship ended, she should have been more considerate of your feelings, but that's water under the bridge now. I'm sure she has come to understand how her actions hurt you.

I think you can be friends again, but it will take some time before things go back to the way they were. Are you going to be comfortable sharing things about your life with her? Are you going to be comfortable being around her and your ex (if they're still together) or having her talk about their relationship? Ease back into the friendship; do the Facebook thing for a while and see how that goes.

Miamine agony aunt14years is a long time.. guess the guy is long gone now.. start again, forget the past, send her a quick facebook message, something to make you both laugh... facebook friends at first until you both feel comfortable enough to meet up and go out.

Life is short, it's not worth being angry and upset. You miss your friend, let her back into your life, you were good friends for a long time because your relationship was special.

laetitia agony auntShe stabbed you on the back by starting to date your ex-bf! Best friends do not date you ex-bf. You should tell her that. If I AM YOU, I will not be friends with her!!!! She is the type of girl who chooses "dicks before chicks"!

Saranghaexxbby agony auntI think you should follow your heart. Just don't keep getting that close with her again, because : REMEMBER: you can hurt others but u don't wanna hurt ur self, U can heel others but you don't wanna heel someone if u wont be heeled too. =)
