It's too hard to not ask the questions I would usually have asked and probably don't really have the right to know the answers or really want to know the answers either (if any of that makes sense I'm not sure LOL).
I do want to be friends with him but it's going to be more of a struggle than being in a relationship I think. He still hasn't found a place to rent which is not doing me any good as he's just up the road and I need to get back into my house to sort out MY life. I don't want to kick him out as for the time being it suits me financially and really I'm just a nice type of person and wouldn't want anyone to think bad thoughts of me....
Once again thanks for the advice. I agree with you, I think it's important to stay friends with someone who has shared such a large chunk of life , love and laughter with you...
I just hope that I can do it... Always open to new beginnings and I think that this is going to be one of them |
That's good to hear. I don't see anything wrong with being friends if it was a nasty breakup. Though I have no real personal experience to share as I have never been married. Overall I think that you are doing the right thing though. If he has never hurt you before (mentally/emotionally) and you still care about him, being friends is better than nothing at all. It will be hard for you at first (as you mentioned) but it will start to get easier. Plus as long as you guys are comfortable with one another, you can always share with him your feelings if/when you decide to seek out another relationship.
