Question - (11 December 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 11 December 2009)
A female United Arab Emirates age 30-35, *ola29 writes:

i just broke up with my bf of 2 years, he was too occupied with his new friends, it was never the same again, so i just about had it. he texted me "i fucked up, and im guessing there is no second chances, maybe in the future we'll resolve things, and maybe we're not meant to be - ill love you now and forever, i cant change that, i know u hate me so much right now, but can we still be friends?" now the friends part is confusing me. I dont knwo if its a good idea, because we broke up in the summer for 3 months, and he did ask the same thing, and thats how we got back together again. Is this a bad idea? Is this him still wanting me in his life and having hope? Help im confused what to do.

just want to check if your sure that ur happier after ur broken up. if you are, then give it thought- just make sure ur strong enough not to let your feelings melt away even after ur 'just friends.' you dont want to get yourself into something u werent really happy with earlier.

about the friends part, it will work out, but dont make it too awkward. even if he wants you back in his life, but if your not happy, then its better without it.

I have had the same thing happen to me. We were together for 2 years then he broke up with me. Then 5 months later he calls me up and ask if we could give it another shot, and of course I took him back. We were together for 9 months then he ended it again and started going with his ex of 2 years before me. You need to ask yourself are you happy with him? Does he make you feel like you are the only girl that he cares for? Questions like that. If you can answer them with positive answers then maybe he does still care for you. There is nothing wrong with being friends with an ex. Just as long as you guys agree to not get jealous when the other one gets another partner. Just take some time by yourself and think about the questions. It will come to you when you do it.

Honestly noone can tell you what he is thinking. Its up to you whether or not you still want to be friends. Sounds like he misses you. Choice is yours.
