Question - (2 August 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 August 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I was with my ex for just under a year. We lived together, and every thing was hunky dory, we got on amazingly, sex was good, we were great companions etc. We had a problem sometimes with sex drives, as in his was all the time wanting it, and my libido lagged behind his.

We broke up around Christmas time (2007), we both were having seperate personal problems, with families, jobs, etc, and things got too much and we ended it. Or more precisely, he ended it. I don't think he could cope with everything.

7 months on and he is one of my best friends. There is still that spark, and I know he wants to try again, but I'm scared of getting hurt again.

We both have our own houses, so we wouldn't have the stress of living together, and we could go on dates. I feel more comfortable with him than I have done with anyone else I've ever met, we have such a good connection. But I know his fatal flaw is bottling things up, and that's why we ended up breaking up before, he wouldn't confront his problems and deal with them.

Do you think it could work? Or are we best as friends?

isn't it better to take the risk and get hurt than asking yourself what would have been for the rest of you're life??..

XxAnGelXxx agony auntThe thing iv noticed about couple's who have split up and decide to stay friends is that they either cant cope with the whole just friends thing and chuck it away all together or they stay good friends for a while, then get back together, and seeing as you've been such good friends for so long after breaking up chance's are that you could get back together, and judging by what you said it could well be alot better a second time round?
