Staying best friends?

by 'Best Friend'

J was my first everything.. I love him so much, and he loves me back - I know it. He still tells me he does.

But he ended our relationship because he wasn't happy in it. I can't stop feeling like I "wasn't enough to make him happy"..

He has been in long relationships all of highschool and said he never had any time on his own, and he also said that since I'm younger I have a lot of growing up to do. We're staying best friends, because we don't want to lose eachother in our lives, and because we're hoping that later down the road when he's ready we could give things a try.

How can I be his friend and not get jealous over all these other girls that are trying to be, and soon will be in his life? Girls that I know are already intrested in him, and are trying to be with him.

It hurts so much to think of him with somebody else.. I don't want that. I can imagine that he would want to be with anybody else if he loves me so much?

I don't know what to do..
How do I move on? How can I possibly let go?
What should I do..

for his happiness
by: sanjay

see buddy, i have gone thru this if u are really committed to him then let him go. what u will always think of is his happiness. though its not as easy to sometimes let go. maybe someone else is praying for u more strongly and due to his prayer u are not getting ur love.

be patient. u 2 will get ur love soon. stay calm and never have a bad word for him.

if he is happy then u also have to feel happy no matter if he is with you or not.

i know exactly how you feel
by: Anonymous

Last week, my girlfriend and I decided to split up but remain friends after a year and a half of an amazing relationship. I still love her and I have a gut feeling she still loves me.

The weekend after our break up she was asked to homecoming. It is hard for me to imagine her with someone else (especially since i wanted to be her date for hc) but i want her to be happy on her last year of high school. I just started college and I'll admit it gets lonely, but i dont regret anything or have hard feelings against her. There may be a chance that we will get together if our friendship rekindles what we have, but I try not to get my hopes up for that. Life goes on , but memories with her will always be in my heart

Not Being Happy
by: Anonymous

So he was not happy being in a serious relationship with you but he wants to be best friends? That won't fly with another if he chooses to date. Perhaps he is trying to find himself. Maybe he's gay.

If he starts dating other girls, then there must be some underlying issues he has specifically with you and he's just trying to be nice. You have a choice to hang onto the past or to move forward.

Never

I am in the similar situation and strongly suggest it never will work staying friends. I did the same thing and it's impossible.

I think my man or ur man just don't want committment
