mjmoonwalker89 agony auntmy bf broke up with me and asked if we could still be friends...... its too hard

how can someone who hurt you so badly ask to be friends and expect you to be their mate while they're off with someone else in another relationship? its just too hard. think about it if it was the other way around. its nice that you still care about him but that probably hurts him too, that you care for him but dont want to be with him.

whisper01 agony auntBe civil to him but make it clear that you are in love and happy with someone else, you have moved on.

Other than that treat him like and ordinary acquaintance and tell your new partner about him so that your partner doesnt get jealous or suspicious

good luck

It doesn't happen that easily.... I tried it with my ex and all he kept saying was that he wanted us to get back together again!! In the end I gave up trying to be friends with him - I was sad but it was for the best.

Give him time and space to sort and accept things in his own head and after that if he doesn't have the dignity to accept that you have moved on and that you are happy with some one new - don't wasted your time and energy worrying about him
