One of the strangest things you’ll ever go through is a break up where you and your ex develop a friendship. It seems only natural, you care about this person, but what happens when the feelings come back? No matter how mutual you think the end of your relationship might be, there’s always one person who wants the other one back. Even if it’s on some small, tiny little level, one of you is still holding out the hope that you’ll one day be back together again. No matter who it is, their going to end up getting hurt. The friendship will be taken from you by circumstances beyond your control.
You’ll hang on to your past relationship by assuming an innocent friendship role, but secretly you’ll be waiting for your chance to ask them back out. Eventually their going to meet someone else and you’ll see how jealous you’ll get. Being their friend might sound like a great way to stay close, but in the end you’re going to end up having to see them date someone else. Watching this will hurt ten times more than it would if you’d just broken up completely. The worst part? You have to still play the role of their friend, otherwise you’ll lose them completely. Acting like you’re happy for them when your ex is dating someone else can be one of the worst feelings in the world.
As your ex starts up their new relationship, you’ll be picturing them with the other person all the time. Your good friendship will falter and You’ll see less and less of them. No matter how much you try to convince yourself you don’t have feelings for them anymore, seeing your ex kiss someone else is always going to hurt. If you’re trying to get back your ex, don’t substitute friendship for the relationship you really want. Your best bet is to work for it. Start working toward getting them back, and take those first steps toward building a new future together. If your ex still loves you on any kind of level, there will still be some room in their heart. Seize the opportunity to establish something real, and save the friendship for other people. <3
