I tried being friends with an ex once. Then I realized that he was never really in love with me like I was with him. For a reason I don't want to go into here he couldn't get involved in a romantic relationship.
When we got back in touch he controled the conversations and talked only about what HE wanted to talk about. He wasn't really interested in my life, just too insecure to make other friends so he wanted me to fall back on when he wanted to talk.
In a moment of strength I told him what I really thought of what he was doing to me and he contacted me twice since then, the last time was almost two years ago now.
The strenght I had then is gone now, but so is he. And good riddens. I have a good relationship with a man who loves ME the way I need to be loved, not what's convenient for him.
You are the person who knows best what you need. Don't settle for less.
