Can I Stay Friends With My Ex-Boyfriend?

Dear Advice Girl,

I really EXTREMELY want to be friends with my ex. But I think I hurt him really badly. I don't know what to do, and I'm desperate!

Signed,
   Twilight Morning

Dear Twilight Morning,

It's super unfair to try to push your ex into friendship mode right after dumping him. You might be ready for it, but he still needs time to heal.

Leave him alone. And be aware that he might totally hate you and not want to speak to you for a while. It doesn't mean he's being a jerk - it just means he's doing what he has to do in order to get over you.

After some time has passed, he might be willing to try the friend thing. But it's up to him to make that call, not you.

 

Love,
   The Advice Girl

Me And My Ex Was Already Friends. But She Had Sex With Me The Day Before Yesterday. And The Day After She Broke It To Me Like We're Friends and We're Not Gonna Have Sex or Foool Around No More. I Felt Hurt... But Im Feeling Ok. She'll Be Back... Juss Let Her Do her For Now... (its Just A Matter Of Time) U Have To Have That Much Of Confidence.
