We broke up, but will we still be good friends?

A male United States age 36-40, *yschaff writes:

My girlfriend and I had been dating for almost 4 months and she broke up with me about 2 and a half weeks ago. The reason we broke up is because she wanted to be single, she said I didn't do anything wrong and that she still cares for me and loves me, as a friend. I was good to her, I loved her and cared for her, never cheated on her or said anything bad about or to her. She did meet some new people before we broke up. We broke up on a Friday and she had met some new people the past weekend, and she said she wanted to be single. She said I was like her best friend, and that she wanted to see me a lot still. We had been spending a lot of time together too, and she was acting different around me. About a week and a half after we broke up she hooked up with another guy. She said she still wanted to be good friends and she wanted to hang out with me, but it was awkward being around her. This past Sunday we talked and decided we need some space from each other. She said she still wants to be friends, but I asked her if she wanted to go to church this Saturday and she said no, it's not enough time. She says I whine too much about the situation as well, which I do. I know she cares about me, but does it sound like we will be good friends? I have a feeling we will be, I was just curious about what you guys think.

lovelynightmare agony auntThat is hard, dude.

I have also pursued continued friendships after a relationship, one time it didn't work, the other time it did.

And if your girlfriend is your only friend, as was my case before, that is tough as well. But if you have other people, hang out with them in the meantime, give her some space, then try to reestablish your friendship.

I wish you good luck,

if you still have feelings for her don't be friends,it will only hurt you more.

distance yoself from her for some months,make sure you became friends only when you no longer love her

if you are hopping you will reconcile then she has to miss you and reliaze how special you are to her.

huneygyrl agony auntI believe both of you should have dated before calling it a relationship. People feelings get hurt for the obvious reasons, in your case.

Maybe it is better for you to separate yourself before you get in to deep and she hurts your feelings even more.
