breaking up? with a friend Plus

Dancersoul November 1st, 2019

I've stayed friends with an ex for over 2 years now. Once in a while, it rolls over into more than that and I have decided to put an end to that, This is difficult as we have known each other for longer than that and have gotten closer each year.I remember Gweneth Paltrow calling her divorce a "conscious uncoupling" and I am liking it to that.

My ex is a womanizer and I don't want to be a part of his harem. The problem is we have so much in common that when he is here we do fun things and I actually love his pad so I used to love to stay over. But I don't want to give the wrong impression so I am declining the invite.

I have to admit I am sad at this among other things that are going on in my life but its a feeling of loss in many ways.

My nephews are older and I used to take them out and do things but now have school and their own friends.

I am a social yet private person in some ways and have a hard time keeping friendships going for whatever reason.

I find myself doing many things on my own because there just isn't someone to do them with and I don't want to miss out on something that Id like to do regardless. Everyone have a great weekend

Happy DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

So update on this I met with my friend and told him Im uncomfortable "staying over"because I know he was seeing someone and that person had kids we still spent some time as friends nothing else that day and had a good time

When I later checked his FB yes he had a pic of this woman and he holding hands She had the same and changed her stat to in a relationship He didn't have anything on there just the same pic,

I was surprised that it was there but not that she considers it a relationship.

He has a lot of female friends and travels often She is where I was until I wised up

I won't say it didn't hurt but wasn't unexpected But never having any contact w him ever again would make me very sad I wish I could find someone that I was compatible with
