I have this former boyfriend andI was kind of not texting him anymore. Sometimes he calls at home and I talk to him but just for a little while, I'm not quite comfortable talking with him anymore because of our past. But I don't know if I should still entertain his calls because I feel awkward already. How about you, did u ever felt this way?

I have had an interesting experience relating to this recently. I met a gentleman, J, on a singles site, and we were talking two or three times a day. We shared a lot about our pasts and I thought we were moving towards something real. When it came time to a real life meeting, he stood me up. After about a month, I actually started dating another guy, D, from the same site. About a week after I met D in person, J called wanting to talk. I made a point of telling him it would go no further than friends because of D. I have to admit it feels a bit strange to be talking to him, especially when he makes comments about wanting to get together as friends. I just make sure I redirect the conversation when it tries straying out of the "just friends" context. In the long run, it is all up to you. If you don't feel comfortable with it, tell him you don't want to talk to him anymore. Be upfront and honest about how you feel.

I am either friends or enemies with my ex's. Mostly my ex's and I do not talk. I spent new years eve with an ex I do not get along with, we broke up 6 years ago and still can not get along. It was a very bad breakup. We some how managed to be civil with each other but it was very awkward.

I think its really awkward to get along with an ex especially from a bad breakup which is my case as well. So yeah Ill probably be silent around him because there's nothin much to talk about.

My ex kept bugging me in the past six months. It made me and all my relatives esp. my mother very uncomfortable.Frozen him out, that's the best and also the only way I could do. Did he just try to be friendly or want you back? It's all up to you. You're the one can stop him or renew your relationship.If you still have feelings for him, you can ask him the reason he keeps calling you then make your decision. If you don't, just leave him alone. Whether or not,don't give him the chance to ruin your life. Throwing the annoying candy bar far far away then seeking it. Kids do that. Some men do that too.

I kind of understand what you say. I've got this problem with my ex that as soon as I try to be nice and civil with him, he thinks that he can demand or expect things from me that I'm not willing to give. Sometimes I wonder why we can't be just good friends and forget about the emotional part?
