    I'm so glad you seem brighter fedupski a broken heart is as real and painful as an injury to any part of you. If I could give a bit of advice from my own experience, It will not help you to try to be friends. Though it's painful not to see your ex at all, it will just prolong your agony. Every time your ex says something nice to you, you will interpret it as meaning that the relationship can be rekindled. Don't do it. That was probably too personal, I'm sorry if it was:o.

    That sums it up pretty well for me about how I feel Su

    Still hoping you see deep down inside, higher up reality biting there is no chance.

    Oh ladies...what fools we are... :(

    I stayed friends with an ex for awhile once then had to sever all ties cos, as I put it, I didn't know him to be "friends". Thankfully that did the trick so I'd recommend where possible.

    Fay hon, sorry as I guess with the peedie ones involved yu don't have that option :(

    bearhugs to all the broken-hearted (even those over it now cos I'm sure we've all been there at least once)
