| I really dont understand why people have gone on the moral high ground here. This poor guy has no said he is looking for a buddy of any kind, he just wants to know that what he is feeling is normal. Going from a relationship where you have sex on a regular basis to not having sex at all can be really difficult, especially when you have a high sex drive. The feeling will probably calm down after a while, but sleeping with an ex is not a good idea. It will cause confuse feelings and could leave one of you getting hurt. I do, however, apprieciate why you do it. It is easily done and can seem so natural in the heat of the moment. If you have feelings for that person and your not used to not being able to touch them the you think about them more. The more it is on your mind the more you will talk about it. Once youve both talked about it and know that you are both feeling the same there seems to be nothing to stop you. I dont think age will make a difference to these feelings, although maybe age will bring more self control. I also dont think this in any way suggests that your relationship was based on sex.
Also I dont think a 'buddy' is an immaturity thing, but it is obviously going to be something that people have different views on. I dont think these are just down to religion and age but I admit that my generation seem to be a lot more open about it than the one above, but then again, look at what happened in the sixties! maybe the term ' buddy' itself might suggest a younger person but 'casual relationships' happen when people are older all the time.
I really think the disagree button should be changed to to helpful and unhelpful because taking points from someone for giving advice you dont personally agree with is harsh but taking them away for un helpful or detrimental advice is fair enough. |
