Dear Cupid, I broke up with my boyfriend about three weeks ago beacause things just weren't right and i needed space, but ever since he's been calling me and telling me how much he wants me back and he can't live without me though i just want to be friends though somehow he can't do that. I wanna be able to see what else is out there as he was my first bf and i felt like i was being tied down in the relationship.I've told him this but he doesn't want me to find other guys and keeps laying the guilt trip on me, which makes me feel bad. I told him that we could maybe give a relationship another go in about 5 months but i don't know whether i'll be ready and he said if i was with anyone else he wouldn't want me back as he'd have to deal with the fact that he wasn't the only one that i would've been with. Please help would being friends be too hard or can we make the friends thing work?

Having gone through almost the exact same thing myself, all I can say is; do what YOU want to do. It may mean sacrificing him as a friend, but unless you really want to be with him, trying to make HIM happy is a waste of time. His inability to get over you is keeping you from getting over him.

You can be friends with your ex, I'm friends with mine after 2 years, after living together and being engaged and a not so nice break up, it is possible. He has to stop giving you the guilt trip it's not fair on you, it's your life and you can do what you want with it. If you decide in a fwe months to give it another go, then go for it by all means, but this means he may have to cope with the idea of you having been with someone else. if he loves you it won't matter. Hope I've helped, Charlie :) x
