Can exes be friends?
Can exes be friends? People are always telling me that you can NEVER be friends with your ex.
But I think other wise. At least on some caes.
Andrew and I have known each other for four years now, going on five.
We actually dated twice, once my freshman year and again the summer before my junoir year. We realized that we were better NOT dating and now he’s like my best friend! I can tell him anything and I don’t see him as my once lover Andrew, I see him as my best friend.
But there’s a friendship I have with someone else that totally goes against that.
For the past year and a half, I’ve been trying to be friends with my ex Cody. Some days he’ll be totally cool with that and we’ll talk on the phone about stupd random stuff. But on those not so pleasent days, he’ll tell me that he’s still in love with me and blah blah blah. I mean, I love him but I’m not IN love with him. I care about his well being enough to know that we’re no good for each other. I’m still trying to make him realize after two years, I’m not the same person anymore!!
My friend Megan is friends with all her exes. She’s such a sweet girl and I know that sometimes it hurts her with her last boyfriend (they were together for a long time) and how they try to be friends. I hung out with them two weekends ago and it was weird. I can tell that she’s still in love with him. And the way he looks at her, it seems like he’s still in love with her too. But how could I tell her that when she’s trying to be friends with him? I know it hurts her. Maybe that’s what I’m doing with Cody. Maybe I should stop?
