    Men who think they can still be friends with an ex they're still in love with are delusional.

    It's a weak beta male move. You'd have more chance if you walked away and never looked back.

    The best way to get someones attention.....is to remove yours!

    This is a crushing situation for me, but here goes.

    We split up in the summer (ages ago I know) but we remain close. Or did until this weekend. She's been very secretive about what she was doing this weekend and when her brother brought it up earlier tonight she shut the conversation down.

    I heard that she made out with another guy at a works leaving do in April (yeah we work together) and now my head is full of this.

    I know I'm imagining the worst but it's driving my crazy.

    She obviously doesn't want to say anything but I need to know. I know I could just ask but I don't think she'd tell me. She's so worried about upsetting people.

    I'm going round the bend. Sorry.

    Sorry Delree - but she is your EX. She has no need to inform you that she is going out with someone else. You are upsetting her by stressing out about it.

    Go and enjoy your life - without her.

    Never remain close, even when the relationship is ongoing. I've been married twenty years, if we had remained close it would have lasted two.

    You have become jealous. She has moved on, you still love her. If you truly love her you will do the right thing by letting her go without going around the bend over it. Your relationship is over. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you will move on.

    Guys this post from months ago seems to have resurfaced so I thought I'd update you all.

    This situation made me into a person I never wanted to be or thought I could be. Soon after this post I woke up to myself and remembered that I have no right to this person and she has every right to seek happiness just like anyone else.

    I stopped contact but we have since resumed friendly contact. I'm dating a lovely woman and have been for a few weeks (early days, not getting carried away) and whilst me and my ex don't hang out we're most certainly friendly and I wish her all the best.

    I was in a low place when I posted this but I grew up, took responsibility and climbed out of the hole and I feel great.

    Let's let this thread slowly die now.

    You posted recently on someone's thread and they took exception to it so posted a tit-for-tat on your thread.

    Glad things are working out for you. :)

    I know, she must have actually searched through my posts to find this. Quite pathetic, backing up my assertion that she must be in her teens.

    Her friend who she doesn't want contact with doesn't know how lucky he/she is.

    Karma catches up .....so never say anything to anyone that you would not like said to you!

    Glad that you have been able to move on, though!
