DUDE. I said I wanted to be friends when we broke up. That doesn't mean I want to be the friend you drone on and on to about your new skank you met TWO DAYS AGO, that you "can see yourself being with."! When are you gunna realize it hurts me to hear how happy you are, because I'm still not over you....
I've been in your situation. Keep your interactions with him to a minimum. He is being hurtful on purpose and no one needs someone like that in their life. Whatever you do, don't get back together with him. He is showing his true colors right now and they don't change.
There are two reasons (that I have noticed) for anyone to say that "lets just be friends!" line to someone they are breaking up with: 1) He/She doesn't want to feel like a bad guy. If you make someone believe it was a mutual break-up, it makes you feel better about yourself. 2) He/She wants an easy lay when he/she wants it. It is always easy to go back and have sex with an ex if you left each other on decent terms.
I know you want to be friends with him right now, but just know, his intentions are probably not good ones. You can be strong, sweetie. You will find someone better that won't flaunt his latest escapades to you just to make you jealous. And you have to know that that is what he is doing: trying to make you jealous. You don't have to acknowledge such a blatant slap in your face. Feel flattered, and move on. You will find a person, one day, that actually deserves to be with you.
Thank you. (: Lately I've been trying to put space between us and not try so hard to be his friend. Its been about three days since I talked to him. Doesn't seem like long, but I feel that this is a big step for me. I feel like I'm finally on my way to being done with his crap. And its liberating.
I'm hoping I can keep it up. I almost caved today! :o But then I thought about how much better it feels when I'm not thinking about him, or involving him in my life, and it helped. :D
It really sounds like you will be okay! You're already noticing how much better things can be when you live your own life, and focus on keeping yourself HAPPY! I think that is great, and I wish you all the best!
Well, I slipped today. My phone butt dialed him, and I noticed it, and I talked to him for a little while, but I had to go, and he said, "text me, bye." And so I did.... //: It was a mistakee.
Muttr's like this is why I created Muttr in the first place! Thank you guys for giving your advice to a random stranger :D
And to the poster: You should probably let him know that you don't want to hear about those things, either that or eventually you will go crazy inside from holding back! Also, you're human, we make mistakes, just make sure ya learn from them from time to time ;)
