Well me and my "boyfriend" of two months and a piece are officially over. Thing is I''m sad but it was expected. When two people have been friends, for as long as we've been I think you should just leave it at that. Life goes on right??? I'm not going to break down, get depressed and mope we've been friends longer that we've been in a relationship, and I'm hoping we can get back to that. Yep life goes on

I don't personally know how it feels to be in a break up but I am certain it is not something to look forward to, at the least, so I say this as a friend; it has become apparent to me that you are not only a strong person through the several discussions we have involved here, but also a smart and cheerful one and so I can say that you will get through this just fine. As I always tell myself that if there are things that I cannot gain or achieve, then perhaps something better is in store for me, so I guess this should apply to all as well. I know and believe that you'll be fine and I'm looking forward to more cheerful discussions with you.

Sorry to hear that. I know breaking up is no fun. I've had a lot of bad luck with relationships. It's not fun at all. But I do like that you keep a positive attitude. It is always best to look at the bright side of things, even if it is hard at times.

Yes it is hard, but it's not the end of the world, that's how I've to look at it or else I'll crumble. I think one of the reasons I've not fallen apart is because our friendship is intact, more than you know that's so important to me, because we've known each other for 16 years and so I would rather lose my two month relationship with him, than my 16 year friendship. Don't worry I'm going to keep my chin up and even if its hard,look at the bright side

Thanks Mys for saying those kind words, and yeah it's sad I was hoping for a happy ending, who knows, I'm not keeping my hopes up but at the same time I am, I do love him so much. But I'm quite happy that our friendship seems to be standing the test of time, and yes one day I'll explain all. In the meantime I am going to pick up the pieces and thank you sweetie for reminding me how strong I am, truth be told in the midst of it all I honestly forgot my own strength. Thank you

It is such a shame that you felt as though you should break up. I have been in the situation where I have got together with one of my friends, and more often than not we found that there wasn't really a problem with us as a couple, other than we felt as though we should be friends rather than lovers. I think that you always have to be very careful before you get with a friend, because it can sometimes ruin your friendship when things end. You are right though; life does go on, and it is important that we always remember that.

True but thankfully it doesn't look like this is going to ruin our friendship, and yes life goes on doesn't make sense moping about it.

It's always good to have a positive attitude in times like this. I have several guy friends that have asked me to go steady with them, that I have refused to do so because I value the friendship. In the long run, even if he is your ex now, you're friendship is worth more than a relationship, at least in my experience. Boyfriends come and go for the most, but true friends stick around much longer than any guy I've ever dated! I wish you well on remaining friends with him! ~Syra~

All of us are entitled to love and feel the pain once we enter a relationship. No exception. You know it's better to be alone and happy than being with someone but being miserable at the same time. I don't find break up as a negative thing. Sometimes we have to get through to this kind of stage for us to grow and to become a better person. So if you find the right person in your life. You know exactly what to do. Don't worry someday you can find the right man for you. Cheer up!

I like your spin on it, it doesn't have to be a negative. In fact when we spoke you know what I told him? I told him I love him and I'm sorry it didn't work out but I'm taking it as a learning experience. I intend to grow as a stronger person from this. And thanks I will know what to do

It's quite sad and depressing at first few days, weeks of break up. but when things did not work the way you want it, there's no reason for a relationship to be continued. I personally know how it feels to broke up in a relationship specially if you have been together for a long time. but life goes on. In time you'll find happiness and contentment. It's not that easy to be friends with your past lover I personally took years and years before I had been friends with my ex. but still it would work. I hope you are okay. happy mylotting.

Girlfriend-boyfriend relationship is not meant to last if you're both not meant for each other yet. Somewhere down the road hehehe it's a song which I love hehehe You'll meet someone whom you feel at ease and comfortable despite unfavorable circumstances. When you found that someone, then give your best shot however, don't lose your self-respect of course. Don't hurry nor don't worry if your present relationship does not go the way you like it. Just go with the flow. It's good you can easily move on. That's the right attitude!

It's sad to hear that. I hope that in time, your friendship will remain as it was before you've become more than friends. And, yes, life goes on. Just give your self some time to heal.

It seems that you are so strong. I could not do like you. It takes a long time for me when love is broke up, 1 year or longer than that. However, i am happy when you are so optimistic like right now. Be stronger and our life is still going on...

I'm awfully sorry you and your boyfriend broke up. I think it can be hard to go back to friends after being lovers. Hope you can work it out.

You are a strong woman success1625, I believe you will get over this situation and continue the friendship with that man. Im not a person who can give advice or comforting words about this situation and Im sure you know what is the best for your life. Yes, life goes on and whatever happen in our life gives us experience to learn or at least a memory to remember as part of our life. Wish you the best in life and someday you will find the true love or your life

I tried having a relationship with a man I considered a friend once, and it did not work out at all. We don't even talk now to this day. I believe it was a huge mistake and I wish I would have left it alone.
