  • My Ex Wants To Stay Friends: Good Or Bad Idea When Still In Love After A Breakup
    Staying friends with an ex after a breakup can be a good or a bad idea. As a relationship coach who specializes in helping people get back together, I understand how difficult it can be.
    Being around the person you love but not in an intimate way can be excruciating, and at losing them all together can be just as painful.
    That's why I felt that it was necessary to do a video on this topic and to shed some light on the pros and cons of being friends with an ex.
    You can't imagine how many times I've heard: " my ex wans to stay friends " and how often people have reacted one way only to later regret it.
    You need to make a sound decision and understand the implications of that choice, especially if you are hoping to get back together and that's where we come in!

    If you're friends with your ex then it doesn't give them a chance to miss you. Although, my ex is seeing someone else right now. I have the advantage of working at the same place as her, so I've been acting like I'm okay. She told me she misses calling me on the phone, and asked if we could still be friends so she can call me when she want's to talk. As much as I would love that, I told her I'm not interested in being just friends. I'm denying her the opportunity to talk to me, which will make her miss me.

      @Faithandseekerofchrist Год назад +5

      If she wants someone to talk to she needs a therapist or her own friends. Being friends with ill intentions is actually doing a disservice to yourself because you are also denying your own feelings. Remember the opposite of hate is indifference and once you get into that point then you have truly moved on because you don't care if you are not in her life. When she's out of your life, then she can't use you anymore. I hope you got a different job and in a better place since it has been 2 years.

      I don't know if I'd call it an advantage to work at the same place as an ex who you want to get back with. Trying to act like you're ok will only dig away at your soul and prevent you from being yourself. Bear in mind that a lot of the time when women end a relationship, it is already half a year or more since they emotionally checked out. It's a survival tactic for them which unfortunately gives them the advantage. So she is able to be herself while you're having to play the part of someone who doesn't care. I know from experience how shit that feels. I don't know how much good it will do by you rejecting her friendship whilst you remain physically present each day. I would have thought you'd need to be 100% absent in sight and mind for her to start missing you. Relegating yourself to a stranger in the background must surely feel like torture.

    @Erinjamaya 4 года назад +192

    This is so dumb. The moment you have a intimate relationship, you can NEVER be friends. It doesn’t matter how healed you are or it could’ve been 3 years since you’ve seen them. Cause once you see them you get flashbacks. If they wanna come back they’ll tell you directly or vice versa. Being friends is an excuse to have you by their palm just to torture you emotionally.

    • @Faithandseekerofchrist
      @Faithandseekerofchrist Год назад +12

      Amen! It never works no matter how long it's been. You can be cordial if you happen to run into them or if they happen to come to your job while you're on the clock. However if you run into them while you are not working, it is better to not give them the time of day, mind your own business and if you feel like walking away in complete silence. The best revenge it's not Revenge itself it is living your life the way you've been living it even before they came into the picture and if you gain more success even better. However, do not get a rebound and when you choose to date again, do it because you are ready and have moved on from that person completely.

    So I build him up make him feel like an amazing man, because I know how to support the ones I love, for him ride off that confidence to find a new girl when his high off my support. No, he doesn't want me well than he doesn't get me. We can't be friends because I love him, so my romantic heart is giving in a different way than I would in friendship love. That's the problem, he can walk away whenever he wants, he'll have me till he finds his forever girl and then suddenly my friendship would be easy to discard. Because I have feelings for only him and he'd have options. Plus he still wants to be intimate as friends... Too complicated for me 😒 no thanks. 💔😭 Nobody puts my heart on reserve, it's special and it only for one. So I'll give it to someone who loves me back💘✨

  • @Faithandseekerofchrist
    @Faithandseekerofchrist Год назад +13

    No you can never stay friends. They either want to stay friends with you to string you along without a commitment, found themselves a better option or to make themselves feel less guilty about breaking up with you while looking for another option and even through the friendship they will breadcrumb you because you're no longer in their close circle and because you let them. So say no to friendships with exes and if they want friends they can find their own friends.

    I agree of what you've said. This video was really helpful. Also it takes a lot of maturity to any person to be friends with ex's. Friends but not too much especially if you are in a relationship just to be respectful to the person you are with. Sometimes we need to focus of ourselves in order to this because it takes a lot of effort for you if you wanted to do this. Working yourself development to grow to the relationship you had.

    Indefinite no contact is good to attract an ex back if it was a lost of attraction. If there was a lost of trust, but love and attraction is still there “friendship” might be a good platform to prove you have changed. You can’t switch emotions off just because you put a new label on it. Fanta isn’t gonna turn into Coke by sticking a Coke label on it. But you will know your own situation.

    • @ChefChrisDay
      @ChefChrisDay 2 года назад

      That may be the route I need to take after a year apart. Sent an apology letter again and requested therapy and a chance to reconnect but she turned that down due to needing to focus on her own happiness and mental/emotional health. Suggested friendship again but she was concerned that I'd be "waiting" for something that may not be there.

    My God it's been one hell of an emotional roller coaster for 5 months. Even within separation was a learning experience. Finally got to a place of composure centered and confident knowing so. Re-establish communication with my wife of separation. Reintroducing myself even though I believe she's in a rebound relationship. There's also a granddaughter involved that there's a strong bond with. Had a chance to be under the same roof we lived spending time with my wife of separation and granddaughter. We had a chance to talk share stories and laugh. I had a chance to apologize for some things that I have realized over the time. We continued talking about what happened with positive energy. She even became emotional as if she was going to cry when point. That means they're still love there right? Realizing that are still things on the wall that connect us. It was just nice to finally have the experience to be able to do this finally with her. It was a great day. Any advice or thoughts?

  • @andrewdigiacomo9453
    @andrewdigiacomo9453 Год назад +2

    The girl I was talking to had recently moved here. I had just gotten out of a break up. We started 2 months after she got here and we just ended things because she felt she wasn’t ready. I’ve realized the same in the last week. We see each other every day at the gym and have a positive friendship. I’ve decided to focus on myself and if we talk then we talk. If we’re both in a good position later in the year and I feel I’m ready I’d be okay to revisit but I’m not going to wait around. Thank you for this video because now more than ever I feel I’m ready for growth and having the thought that whatever happens happens. Either way I’ll be okay

    I broke up with my ex, again because he kept repeating the same toxic behaviors as last time. Now he's finally starting to get his life together because the breakup pushed him to actually get his life together like get s job. Now I want him back, which I always wanted a relationship with him but things got too much and he wasn't changing. I told him I want to work on things and he doesn't want a relationship with anyone and wants to continue to work on himself. But wants me still in his life. Said he would never not want me in his life. It just hurts way too much and Im also mad because i've been telling him for 5 years to get his life together but it took us breaking up to do it. Not sure of remaining friends is a good idea. Hurts too much.

    • @NoelCon100
      @NoelCon100 Год назад

      @@madj7152 From an outside perspective, I think he just isn't ready to be in a relationship. Maybe he wants to stay friends because he realized he lost someone good for him and is open to dating you again in the future. I won't know. If you really want to know, ask him. With that said, don't wait for him to be ready to date you. Take it as it is, be friends with him and don't pass up the opportunity to meet someone new that could be potentially be better than your ex. If it hurts to be friends with him, it's best to remove him and wish each other the best.

    I say it’s not a good idea from experience .. just like coach Adrian said those feelings don’t go away . We had ended a 2 year relationship , I was stuck asking for more attention and time and i always got hit with “ we’re just friends i don’t have to give you any of that” it just prolongs a lot of hurt . My advice would be to just leave it all alone and focus on yourself 100% i wish i would’ve went no contact in the beginning instead of begging/pleading and accepting a “friendship” overtime i saw she got cold to certain things like for example when we first broke up even as “friends” she’d get jealous and stuff . She couldn’t even go a whole day without contacting me . Now 7 months after the breakup and trying to remain “friends” we go weeks without talking and she just doesn’t care about anything concerning me . I don’t think anyone can control their emotions after being so invested .

    So my ex of 2 1/2 years wants to visit me “as friends” and he keeps using the terminology “as friends”. At one point, it kinda sounded he was convincing himself he wanted to just be friends. At one point, it got ridiculous so I was like yeah, I get it, you never wanna be with me again, it’s cool. And he was like well, I never said never, just not now. He said he’s not looking for any relationship actually. Also, I’m 2 1/2 hours away and he was like “yeah I’ll visit you from time to time, a healthy friendship” honestly, I don’t think it’s normal for someone to travel that far for someone they don’t care about. People are telling me he probably just wants to sleep with me but he made it very clear that he would visit me regardless, whether were intimate or not, but obviously he wouldn’t mind sleeping with me. I feel like it’s good that he’s still physically attracted to me.

We had a argument a while ago so it took me a while to give her clarity on things that hurt her but when I tried to apologize she barely responded.

I broke up with my girlfriend ( now ex) about 4 months ago. The next week after our break up she was with someone else and I just didn't know what to think I was just so confused. However its not that I don't want to be friends with her, its more like idk if I should. I don't see it as bad or good at all but I am a little confused. I can talk to her like I talk to my friends but she always brings up things from the past like how her brother did this and that and it just brings back memories. Not bad memories of course but still. Lately I've just been thinking about being her friend, and just talk and be like we used to be before we went out. And its actually been working. A lot of good things have been happening on my life lately and I can see how I've changed after this breakup. Although hearing that she is with someone new still gets me it doesn't affect me as much anymore. But I'm just in this situation where idk if being her friend is a good idea. However the way I see it is if she really cared about this relationship she would have came back and if she doesn't then its till okay live life and be happy.

    My Ex and I were friends for three years. We dated for two years and lived together for about a year and half. Two months of that was after he broke up with me. He said before I was finally able to move out that we are better off as friends and that he doesn’t want me out of his life.

    My ex told me she is always here if I need anything, she is also seeing someone else. I responded by saying I’m not interested in a friendship with you only romance if you have a change of heart let me know. After watching your video I like the perspective of the unique opportunity to get her attracted me to again. I feel like I am in a place where I can hold myself together and attract her back into my life romantically. We’ve dated for 6 years.

    This weekend i saw and spent sometime with my ex, we have spoke sporadically but not too much
    We haven't seen each other for six months, lives far away from me and i travelled back to her town where i was previously living with her
    It felt natural when we saw each other, we shared a drunken kiss on the 1st night, of which she iniated
    I wrote her a note explaining how i have been changing things in my life, ways of thinking etc, which i know she could see when we were hanging out and also how i still feel about her. I got a message from her today saying how she is happy we are friends again but doesnt think getting back into a relationship is a "good idea for us at the moment". I respect her honesty and maybe she is right. Im writing this to say i have come to realise that being honest and open with your ex is going to help you heal as a person, especially if you recognise the mistakes you made in the 1st place

    Here is my situation that I need advice with. Ended a 12 yr marriage. Organically reconnected w/an old friend after 15+ years a part. Which developed in to a 2 yr long distance relationship. We like and love each other. We fly to see each other every few months. He is ready for me to relocate to him, I also have two children (ages 11 & 13). I am not ready to remarry or commit in another long term relationship. I love him. I could spend my future life with him. But I have my own fears around remarrying right now that I am choosing to work through. We have no issues otherwise. Can we still be friends? Can we still be lovers?

    Hey so it’s January 26th. My ex broke up with me on September 28th and the reason behind it was that it was her first real relationship and she didn’t know how to feel about it. I never tried to push the boundaries and always respected that she needed comfort before anything else. Well that soon leaded to the end of us. I didn’t talk or text her for 6 months and she saw me and public and texted me and she wants to be friends again but I don’t know if she doesn’t want to date. She said she was super sad when she saw me and always avoids going to where I work cuz it makes her sad. I just want to know if it’s the right thing to be friends. She dated someone else in between but she said he was too much and that she missed the good times with me. What do you think I should do?

    How to get that platform of being friends with an ex? What if they’ve suggested that in the past but due to other factors I’ve turned down those offers. And is what an ex said months ago still valid like after the break up he wanted to stay friends, a month ago he said he missed me. Are those still valid?

    I begged and asked him for another chance to make this right. 1 month is all i ask for. even if it's as friends. so that was what he offered me.
    we're in LDR. and he has been nothing short of perfect and accommodating and patient. It was all my fault. I was always snapping at him, comparing him to my ex. I took him for granted. one day he snapped and asked for a break. yesterday, after 5 days apart, he broke up. said his feelings has changed. and he won't change his mind.
    we talked as normal after that. This morning, when I woke up, i got his message asking me how i am. I think i am able to control my emotion and show that I have truly realise my mistakes and i am willing to change. Is this a good case?

    Everything I've seen suggests that her ex has been trying to win her back since before we were together (3 and a half months) now she wants to be freinds with me, I've seen her a couple times and mate flirtatious jokes/gestures, she's not pulled away.
    What should I do? Fight for her or accept I was possibly the rebound relationship.

She came over to me after we haven't talked in a month, and started yelling at me because I said that she said she didn't need my help in the first place and she acted like she never said that. And then she told me to keep being a dick then and walked off. I don't know if I should help her then just leave or not

What the hell does that mean? We talk almost everyday and see each other regularly. Was intimate once. Tells me he loves me. I feel im a huge question mark to him.

    The guy I was dating decided to tell me, he has to let go due to his career and kids but still wants to be friends? We hit it off and had the best dating experience with each other. We had so much in common. I was more invested emotionally than he was. He is a great guy and a great father. So much more to say but too long of a story. I am heart broken and do not understand why.

    • @nikstar1313

      Buffey Kunkle same situation for me! We were so compatible and he looked to me for EVERYTHING.. he had 3 kids that he wanted me to even drive the parenting bus too soon and be the step mum immediately and it was utterly exhausting. He respected my boundaries and fixed everything that I questioned but something else just kept coming up out of our relationship control. We broke up 2 weeks ago and my heart break is slowly healing bc I know even if he was the best dad in the world, he wasn't enough for me. There was so much stress involved with his ex too as he had them 50/50. How long were you two together and how was your situation with him and his children? I hope you are ok and doing the no contact rule for your own self worth 💪💪

We did everything that couples did, but were never official. I told her i didnt agree to be friends and now she is pissed and treats me like a stranger.

    My ex and I were in a long distance relationship, which is ultimately why it didn’t work out. She reached out to me for the first time since the breakup (3 weeks) to see how I was doing and if we could still be friends? I literally had a panic attack when I saw her name pop up on my phone. I don’t think I’m ready yet.

    Hi I really love your videos. keep them coming as you have been helping me tremendously. I have been in my relationship for 6 and a half years but he ended it by text at the end of July. I have done the no contact period, then I on acted him with a memorable text, then a wishing his dad good luck as he was due to have an operation. both times he replied with a great reply as we kept it light hearted. he is dating and has been a few weeks after we broke up. I work next door to him and he text me saying I looked good. Do I do no contact again or ask him out for a drink? thanks carol
