If u have someone that u really love, but u realize that both of u are impossible to be together in the future. Which one do u prefer? Be his friend or stop contact him and forget him? If i love someone, its hard for me to be only his friend, and see him with another girl. But to forget someone that i love, is the hardest thing to do too. Each time i try to forget him, i feel that my love to him is bigger, bigger and bigger. I will never be able to stop thinking about him. Can u give me some advices for this?

Hello luv, I can understand your problem because I also suffered once from this kind of situation, for emotional persons it is very hard to forget someone easily, the poor peoples are always cheated by others, and it is very true if we love someone from the bottom of our heart can't see him/her with anyone other in same relation. I can suggest you to forget him because once he has cheated you what's the surety he doesn't do it again may be he cheats you also in the relation of friendship, I know he is your beloved one but from my opinion he is not a person to trust anymore, our life is a great gift of god don't waste it for someone who hasn't a true heart it is his misfortune that he can't respect you and your love, even it is very difficult but try to forget him, start a new beginning and live happily.

The hard thing that i ever suffered is forget my loved ones, When i was in my school, i had a gril friend named Africian, we both had a very good time in the school, after school, she left the city, till then, we don't have any contacts, now i am married, but still i love her, and i can think that can i ever forget her in mylife, when i think of her, how is she, where is she, can we meet again, all this things make me cry. finaly i say that you ever and never forget your loved ones.

I have actually been in this situation and I chose to be friends with him. While we cannot be together in a relationship, i would rather have him as a friend. While I do love him; i have been able to find someone else loves me and I have fallen head over heals in love.

u are so lucky. But its hard for me to find another love while i still love this guy. I can't easily fall in love with another guy. In the deepest of my heart, i always want to be his friend. But im just afraid that i will get really hurt, when i know that he is with another girl. Anyway thanks for sharing.

Well I think that if the relationship was difficult as a romantic one and if you tried everything reasonably posible to make it work but its just becoming to hard, then maybe its best to just brake things off completely. but it can also depend on what type of relationship you had or have, and what kind of person he is, he may be able to handle just being friends but then agin he may not. I think that it might be best to just move on because after braking off a romantic relationship it can be really difficult to just keep things strictly platonic and be only friends, he may not be able to deal with that you may not ether, so instead of further hurting one anothers feelings it is best to let go and move on but thats just my opinion and I'm definitely no relationship expert.

Hi, for sure that i can cant choice to be friend with who i was in love, just because is hard to talk with him all time, real friends must to share all about them, with who are, to go to his wedding as friend; no is not for me, i can t play in a role like this; good friends. But if was real love can t forgetting too, so you can live, or at least try to go on, but not as friends.

Its better to be friends, It is impossible to say you will forget him if you really love him. And by not contacting him in any means I think guilt will not let you be.

Well, it really depends. You can still be good friends, but it will affect you when you will see him with another girl . And he will feel the same when he will see you with another boy . To avoid that, you should make another boyfriend as fast as you can, one that you like a little, just to be with you , and you`ll see that it will be much more easier . I do that , and it`s so good . By that, i try not to suffer from other past relationships .

Ok. Let's say forgeting is a lie. If you really love someone and you can really forget also then that love is lie. There are many types of love and it depends on how you choose to have. Some choose love at one side, the love that is enough to love someone though it may not get to be loved in return. Well, I'm not one of those. I don't like to hurt myself and I don't let anyone hurt me. I don't want to be stucked when my life is still going on. At least not anymore... I found out that to love my own mother is the most happiness love I have had.

Keeping in touch will have ramifications in your personal life later if you decide to marry someone else. He will be a wall between the two of you and it is best that you forget him. This thing about platonic friendship is non-existent.

I will choose friendship to be continue. Because if i really love a person then i will feel so bed and frustration without contacting him. But i will try my best level to forget him and consider him as a friend. though usually we don't get this option. Just get keep continue the relation or forget him.

Neither of the two choices for me. If I befriend its gonna complicate things. If I forget him it would only make me fall in love further. Therefore I choose nothing of both. I would simply face the truth that I cannot be with the person. However hard to accept it, it is just final unless theres some twist of fate.

i would probably choose smthng in between.. e.g. I spend three years with my exboyfriend, i really loved him at that time, but later on i understood that we have no future together. I wouldn't say we are friends now, but we didn't stop contacting as well. We really care about each other and if there's smthng important happening in our lifes we always share it. We contact on phone or internet, sometimes we meet for a cup of tea/coffee, but we never go to the same parties or smthng like that.

I would opt for still being friends. I have tried to always be the bigger person in arguments so that way I don't possibly lose a friend. I don't really have a lot of close friends and I don't want to burn any bridges with the beautiful people that I know and mean so much too me. I guess it depends on your boyfriend. All of my exgirlfriends I never really had a chance of maintaining friendship because one of them moved away while I was in juvie and the other won't have anything to do with me if we're not dating because she's stubborn that way. I have the perfect girlfriend right now though so I'm pretty happy currently.

It makes more sense to be friends with the person. Impossible might just become possible! :) Who knows. :) In any event, why deny yourself a friend that you like? It is very difficult to find a person that we can truly like at all times! Believe me, a 100 percent compatibility is a myth!

Hallo...as I know usually , man and woman will have different reaction regarding this matter. When they are not suitable to be together, I think better let go. For a woman,if not together, they still want to be a good friend. But for a man, it is impossible, sometimes they will pretend they never know you. Maybe at that time woman will feel hurt but man will cover up their true feeling by being cruel. Relationship between man and woman very complicated , if you are not made to be together better let go, and dont expect you still can be friend. Open your eyes widely, step outside and maybe you'll find someone that's right for you!!!!

I have been in the situation of being someone's friend or forgetting him and I chose to remain friends. I was in love with him but he was not in love with me. Seeing him with the person he chose to be in a romantic relationship with was tough at first. Then I had to accept the reality of the situation and eventually the pain subsided and I was able to be with him and actually enjoy our times together.

I chose forget him and didn't contact any more. You should begin your new life.
