My ex texted me today asking how much I would sell

My tv and stereo system for we came to a price

And was texting ok he said I can have his computer

And iPod system as he knows I will benefit

From them more :-), I asked what he had been upto

He said just working a lot of overtime as it keeps him going??

Was nice to text him today it's been the friendliest

Texts so far, when he got home from work he transferred

My money straightaway to my account :-).

What does this all mean and how should I take it

I understand that and that is very hard to hear, his not a nasty person and ido think he will stay in contact with me like i said i am awaiting his reply now from the email but not holding my breath on that...

I can't stop thinking about him and so want to move on but feel there was a good enough reason to split and we were happy together never argued i really really miss him and just want him back - what do i do!!!!

So_Very_Confused agony auntI do not think you will be able to be friends for a long time if at all ever.

writing down his number is not healthy.. you delete it so you forget it honey....

clearly he knows you are not letting go... you need to let him go... it's over and done.. folks say let's be friends to make breaking up easier... it's not easy...

A female reader, anonymous, writes (6 March 2013):

Thank you it was ok I am not pregnant this week

He has texted me asking when do I want my stuff

Back I replied saying I have no room for it and

Was going to sell he said he will give me the money

For it then I asked if I could still meet up with

Him to have some questions answered he said he

Feels if he sees me it will upset me and he don't

Want to give me any wrong ideas in his texts he

Used to give me 2 kisses and now none he said

The same to that it will give me wrong ideas???

He said can I email him the questions ad how I feel

And he will reply back with what he thinks

I've sent the email but couldn't stop writing really

Opened my heart and said what I was struggling with

It is a long long email - not too sure if he will reply now

I've only told the truth and if he had met me it

Would of been easier face to face but yeah he was

Right I prob would of got myself upset...

I said in my texts earlier he said he wants to stay

Friends but he don't seem to be treating me

Like a friend he replied saying we can be friends

But I keep pushing him and soon he will snap!!!

What does that mean

I have packed his stuff up now in a box there's not

Much and deleted his number from my phone

Wrote it down safe I don't know it off my heart tbh

And see if that helps me, it's my birthday the end

Of this month and I asked in my email to him

He is invited it's a meal with friends so see what

He says I hope he does come not to see him

But as friend and our friends all hang out together

So would be good but unsure if he thinks I will

Get the wrong idea like he keeps sayibg to me...

Update on my situation I've had up and down days

And the otherday was talking to him through text

He said his unsure of meeting me as he don't

Want to get my hopes up I said he won't I just

Need answers to my questions and feel as 2

Adults why can't we do this and he wants to

Stay friends and friends do see each other!!!

He then said ok I will meet you sometime over this

Weekend!!!

Then yesterday I did a really stupid thing and

Uploaded some albums on facebook of me, friends,

Family and me and him oooppppsss

I thought I put it as private setting but didn't and everyone

could see then in the news feed

But he saw through a Friend and was not happy as

one of his family was in the album but I didn't upload that.

It was already on there???

He rang me yesterday asking why and I have to remove them

Them straightaway I did do and texted him saying

I have and he replied saying thank you!!!

My friend rang me last night saying he was very angry

yesterday and upset as he thought I was moving

On.

He's warned me to keep my distance and let him calm down

As he feels I have now betrayed the friendship

If there was one to have in the first place.

I feel so silly and why did I do that I feel he won't

Meet up now or talk maybe again!!!

Hello thank you all for your replies. You are all right i just am struggling at the moment and feel so lonely he was a big part of my life and we didnt see each other all the time but always at weekends and maybe 1/2 in the week but when we was apart we was always texting eachother up and till we went to sleep???

His excuse to dump me was he couldnt cope with me being down alot and never chilling out which was true i struggle with life and always think the worse i had a bad experience with my ex ex before this 1 i was married to him for 2 years and together for 10 he treated me very bad and i had a horrible life and saw the light at the end and met this lovely young guy who was my soul mate as well as my boyfriend.

He knew my past and was really understanding and treated me well i just struggled to forget things and was down alot during our relationship which i can see now wasn't fair on him.

he lives with his parents and i live with a friend and i was always talking about getting our own place together which at the moment he is not in a good paid job and don't pay anything at home and i think found it difficult he is doing a plumbing course and is trying to save to get hiself a van i think personnely i scared him and he felt trapped.

he said to me he is terribly sorry and said he will see me soon to talk things through as i said there is some answers i need clearing up he said no problem he understands.

i was asking him a lot this week when it will be but he said he will let me know when he is ready he is in a lot of pain with his back and can't think straight and when feeling better will let me know and i need to start chilling out and thinking of myself???

sugarplum786 agony auntHoney, if you want him back, just dont contact him - no sms, no bbm, no facebook no calls. It called going cold turkey. It will help you heal and also if he loves you, this will make him miss you and want to come back.

There is no harm in hoping that he wil come back but you have to also accept that he may not. This is best that you try to build your life with out him but most important start to heal. Pay attention to your looks and dressing, start seeing friends, if you do run into him just act casual like you have moved on.

If you just continue to wait by the phone for his call or message and it does not come, you will be miserable and never be able to move on. Remember you are among many woman that have been hurt and they have survived, some have got the BF back others have moved on to greener pasteurs.

Yes, you can if you both want rebuild this.. I've been with my hubby for 24years and when we were younger we had a break and split for three months..

First thing I did was allowed him to have his space. He came over to my mums after about a week of no contact. Said he didn't know how to work the washing machine ( haha) I just said he had to learn haha but he kept coming around and we worked things out..

I went out as well, we weren't together so I wasn't staying on crying over it.. You show him that if he wants you, he better hurry up and tell you . Otherwise he feel the fool when you moved on and he's missed the boat ..

So stop crying . Go out .. Give him space . Be light and airy when you do see him . You do not ask to get back together . He makes that move . The ball is firmly in his court. You can not change how you are. He needs to work out if he can handle being reassuring and supportive . Do not change, I don't understand his issue anyway.. If he loves you really does then he will make compromises as much as you will do for him . That's what relationship are about taking the good points with the ooe I wish he/she wouldn't do that/say that etc .

So sweetie , you just be you . And if he loves you , he will miss you but you two have a lot of talking to do.. Keep us posted ..x

Artistry agony auntHi there, let him be for now. You will only alienate him, if you pressure him. Love cannot be forced. Try to reverse the roles, you would not want to be pressured. You will find someone else more suitable for you, who will want to be with you. Give it time. Good luck.

So_Very_Confused agony auntyou must give him time... if he said he wants to be friends but needs time, give him time.

I'm personally not a big believer in being friends with ex partners.
