One was a very short and not a very deep relationship. The other was with my 're-bound guy' (who incidently was re-bounding with me at the same time!), but this was only after 6 months or so of no contact. Also we are not very close friends... not as close as we were as he was my best friend before we got together. Now we hardly speak about anything emotionally like you and your ex. Its just too complex and to be honest it drains me ;)<BR/><BR/>Sassy - thats good to hear. I did the same with the long term ex. Best thing i ever did ;)the.lifestyle.artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031560397478922935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274583065108645128.post-60938046188237056382009-03-02T17:30:00.000+00:002009-03-02T17:30:00.000+00:00I totally agree.

I could never stay friends with an ex, especially one who hurt me so much. <BR/><BR/>I just had to cut him off from my paths and I had to block everything about him from my mind.<BR/><BR/>I had to cut ties to some of our friends. Extreme yes, but I learned to move on from that.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm at a place in my life that I can tolerate a HI from him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274583065108645128.post-52837863559444073532009-03-01T03:26:00.000+00:002009-03-01T03:26:00.000+00:00I don't know...

We talk once in a while, go out for a coffee every half year/1 year, just to catch up on what's been happening(we don't share the relationship part of our lives) mostly in our professional and family life. <BR/>I don't want anything from them except friendship. Once I leave a guy or he leaves me there's no rebound... or at least not until now.<BR/>I don't fear losing them for I have them in my heart, I am thankful for the lessons they brought with them... <BR/>And you're right...if one of the people involved thinks of that "one day" it can't work...Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770981832507391820noreply@blogger.com
