Im so tempted to email my ex and ask if we can be friends now!

Asked Nov 11, 2010, 01:37 PM — 36 Answers
Ok it's been 3 months since I've heard from him, and well he broke up with my 3 months ago and then just disappeared out of my life because I told him that I couldn't be friends anymore and I've kept no contact but I cann't help wondering everyday how he is and I'm so tempted to email him "hey, can we be friends now?" but I guess I'm scared he won't reply...I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that he could just cut me out off his life like that, but it's for the best right?

Do you really want to be friends with him or do you wish for more.

Can you handle if he has found someone and is in a relationship with another woman, and as friends he wants to talk about her to you. Would you be okay with that. I personally think seeing my ex-fiancee with another woman would STILL seem like I was having my heart ripped out all over again.

Bottom line is what do you really want out of this friendship and what you can handle.

Why he would answer you?
He broke up with you (he doesn't want to be in a relationship with you) you told him you can't be friends (you didn't want to be in contact with him) and you kept NC for months.

These are your own words, you two went different ways. Your ego is hurt because he "cut you off his life"... He's moving on because its what EX-boyfriends/girlfriends do. Is that a good enough reason to try to go back into his life... Just because you "can't help wondering"?

Move on with your life, you don't need him as a "friend" that will be way to hard esp this early

You are still wanting him back, so after you are dating and could care less about him is when you could be just a friend "maybe"

Yea you guys are right, I guess I want to contact him because I still want to believe that he loves me and misses me and wants to give our relationship another go and maybe if I contact him then that's what I will hear from him but that's not going to happen in real life most likely...I don't know how to stop having hope! It's driving me crazy!

Having him as a friend won't help you ! If he talks about another girl .. Your going to get crazy . Your willing to having him more than a friend, it's obvious . Your only missing him maybe physically more than anything, maintain NC and see how you feel after a month. Talking with him as a friend will let you feel good for a very short while, then u'll come to an end .

Tell him that you are not pregnant first of all, but keep in mind that if you do get pregnant he will be stepping out of the relationship, if that is someone who you want to be with then try to fix it, if not then find someone who wants the same things you do.

Good Luck,

Consider this a test that you passed, and he failed. You misjudged your pills, had a scare you were pregnant, but weren't. You were given a get out of jail card free- use it.

He took the test of learning he was a father, and he bailed on you. He failed.

Why you would consider risking pregnancy again by choosing a man of such low character; he spent more time having sex with you, than thinking about the consequences of you possibly becoming pregnant. Then when you though you were, he bailed on you. No interest in sharing the horribe time you spent worrying yourself sick that you could be bringing a life into this world. He didn't step up and take responsibility before you knew if you were pregnant, so why would you think he'd be a better man now that you're not.

Please re-evaluate your contraceptive needs, and make sure you either don't have sex, or that you are well prepared with contraceptives, and/or, you trust the person you are with enough to know that if you DID get pregnant, he wouldn't bail. You don't need a potential deadbeat dad in the picture, anymore than you need an unplanned baby.

I agree with Jake. This is a test. He failed it. Take this as a hint. He won't be supportive of you through a pregnancy, what purpose does this person really serve in your life?
