When two lovers remain friends, It's just two things: Either you still love each other, Or you never loved each other at all. Please tell me this is true? I need counciling. lol! :)) Well, seriously, just don't wanna show the drama :))

One of the most important things you must keep in mind. Why are you ex-lovers? What happened to bring that about. If you both loved each other as you should for a long term relationship there would be no break-up. Of course you have feelings for each other. Very hard not to but there will always be that one thing that will be between you. You can again be friends but do not count on it going back to the way it was. What ever changed that changed your relationship for good. If you were to forget what happened in the first place, and were lovers again, there is a good chance you will break up again. So answer that question, what happened, and go from there.

Only he knows what goes on in his head. Without him being able to express what it is without anger you may never know. I would have to ask. Who thinks you need to change and why? Why does he think you are not fine just the way you are? It sounds to me like he needs to control you at some level. He may have a need to mold you into his version of the perfect woman before he can be happy with you. This is not good. It is one thing for you to see something in yourself that you believe need changing, we all could improve in many things, but for him to insist that you change is not right. What ever the problem is you must understand that it is you. If he cannot accept the way you are because he first and foremost loves you then perhaps he doesn't love you as he should. For you to change yourself just to keep him is fooling both yourself and him. If he doesn't see you for the wonderful person you are he may never see it no matter what you do.

Well, him. I know that it is not right but you see he has a point. Not only he who said that. I think it's pretty true. You see, I'm the kind of person who does not think of her actions. Sometimes I say things which I cannot dignify, or stand for it. Maybe he's right, in some way even though my actions for that is not that big but if you put them all together one little thing could be big. Well, I realized that maybe that was the reason he broke up. And he wants that to change in me, and seeing that I won't change he won't come back. I guess if I would think more he would realize that I've been changing. The problem is, I don't understand fully what I would change. I don't want to loose him really.

What I think based on his actions he wants to change something in me. That was the reason we broke up. I've been thinking, and also a friend of mine also told me that maybe this is the only way he sees to make me change, cause he has already tried several ways to change me without breaking up. And everytime I do something that we onced fought about back when he was my boyfriend, he still gets mad now! and sometimes says that he quits, he doesn't want to care for me anymore, etc etc. I want to ask him why does he get mad like that I thought he broke up with me right? But if I said that it would just make things worse. So for now, I'm changing everything that was wrong about me. Really. And I'm hoping he'd come back despite he keeps on saying It's done. After all, most of the people I;ve talked too reason out that he's a guy, and sometimes they say that even though they don't mean it that way.

Why not ressaa, maybe it wasn't time yet for the two lovers. I have actually seen lovers are on and off, friends and lovers, but it's rare to see end tie the knot and got married. is this discussion co-related with your personal problem? if it does, for me just stay friends and wait for the right time

Well, I'm still too young to think to get married. But my mind keeps on thinking of overly mature things for my age I'm beginning to think things that could be impossible such as forever with him. Yeah like that's gonna happen. But there's no wrong in believing and trying right? I just have to be prepared whatever might happen. Really sometimes, or maybe I guess ALWAYS, love makes people stupid.

resssaa well I am confused . are you saying you can love someone or like someone but not both at the same time? If so you are so wrong, i would never have wanted to love a man and be made love to if I didnt also like the man, that would be horrible. My best friend was also my husband and my lover, and we never fell out of love or out of like. you canbe friends and be in love with the same person,one doesnt preclude the other at all,in fact the happiest marriages are those when two people are best friends and fall in love with each other,its just so perfect even when you may get angry you work it out and he or she is always there your lover and your best friend.

I sould say what you have said is pretty true. Most of my exes that I have stayed friends with I never loved in the first place so it was easy to stay friends with them. Either that or you cant bare to lose them as a lover but being a friend is as close as you are going to get so you keep it that way. I hope everythings okay

I don't know if two lovers can remain normal friends, I never had such experience and I pray it should not happen in my life. I think you like him to be with you as a human in your life and do not want to let him go from your life right? better talk and feel releived.

He knows that, but when I told him it feels like I'm not important to him anymore he just told me, "you think I'm going to do this if you're not important?" Honestly, I don't get it, and honestly I cannot read him, He doesn't want to be in this relationship anymore but he wants us to be bestfriends still and everytime I do some of the reason why he had to break up with me he gets mad and then says he quits or something, I just wanna ask why do you quit isn't that you said you have quit on me already? I don't get the point I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell lol its confusing and all.
