Rose-Anna	Well I’m lost on this, we have dated close to 3months I really like the guy. I went to his place on a Friday, Sunday he was quit for the day he did not want to get up. It was close to the time were I had to catch my bus to go home, he was quit then to a day had passed then Tuesday he said that he didn’t like the relationship we were in and just was to be friends, and that he did not want to lose me as one. He broke up with me in a text message he keeps saying " I still care so much I am not saying I don’t want anything to do with you like I said you are a great person and still want to talk with you if you will let me" I’m lost I have to clue what to do, I still really like the guy and it still hurts a lot when I think about the last weekend we had. Please Help I don’t know what to do	11/3/2011

sig	All this talk about the couple is fine, but what about the family and friends that have been hurt. My daughter's engagement was just broken off a few weeks ago but she still wants to be friends. I'm ok with her being friends, but she insists on keeping the plans for her 21st birthday trip to Vegas just as they were before the break-up. The couple are still driving up together and staying in the same room. The rest of her family and friends do not like him and have not had enough time to adjust. Most importantly, my daughter is sharing a room with her ex. This idea is just not sitting well with anyone, but she is resolved that her ex should not have to pay for a room alone. He has friends that will be there but are there for another friend's bachelor party, but my daughter does not give a valid reason for him not staying with them. She is angry with me for trying to convince her to stay in our room or with one of her friends. As no one likes the guy, she feels it is out of the question for her friends to stay with her and her ex. I don't think she has let go. I don't think you can go from being engaged straight to friends.	9/9/2007
Meg	i amtrying to stay friends with my ex but i feel that she is purposly trying to hurt me. i ask her if she wants to do something as friends and she makes excuses not to and then i find out that she went with her other friends and did the exact thing i wanted to do. I think that staying friends after a break up is really hard and that both people need to make the effort to make it work. it is not going to work if it is only one sided.	5/23/2007

Jaki	after a year and a half my boyfriend and i decided a break up would be better for the both of us. his and my work committments were creating too many tense moments and disagreements and in the end we thought that the best course of action would be to be just friends. we realised that if we continued the way we were going then we would most likely end up hating one another. neither of us want this. its now been a month since the break up and we've both been the movies together, out to parties with mutual friends and still text one another/call regularly. i'm really enjoying the arrangment that we have at the moment. i dont think things between him and i could ever be awkward coz we want to be in each others lives too much.	9/2/2006
Gabriella	I think that it would be good to maintain a friendship after a relationship, but only if you two really cared for each other and didn't end on bad terms. The hard part is making sure the other party doesn't get the wrong idea. A friendship is totally different from a boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship. You have to set it in stone before it begins, there will not be any holding hands, kissing, etc. I think that with some work having a frienship with an ex is entirely possible.	3/31/2006

	I think those are great suggestions. You really can be friends with your ex. It does take time but if you are willing to make it happen, it can.	10/5/2005
	I don't think that it is realistic at first -- I think that over time it will be but right away, it just wont work! Too many emotions and one person might be thinking "oh, this can really work as us being friends" as the other says, "gosh, I really think that he might like me" It always ends up not working -- that is what I have seen at least	10/4/2005
Good Point	Isn't it important to consider how your next girlfriend/boyfriend may feel about you maintaining a relationship with your ex...yes you broke up, but the reasons you got together did not evaporate into thin air.	10/2/2005
