How do I become friends with my ex?

Question - (22 August 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 August 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

When me and me ex split up just over a year ago, we agreed to stay friends. He started being mean to me and I couldn't stand him any longer so I blocked and deleted his MSN addy, deleted his phone number and threw away his address because I wanted no contact with him at all. Now I feel like I want to get in touch with him again. Not to date or anything, but just to be friends. He's friends with my boyfriend and I hate it when I can't go to his house just because he's there. I'd like to be able to see my boyfriend when he's with his friends because they are all really nice guys and I get along well with them all. I'm wondering whether to email my ex asking if we can still be friends but still a bit unsure because I don't know what he'll think. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Get your boyfriend to have a word. If they are mates then he can have a word and say you no longer want it to be awkward.

After that, go round and just asct normally. There is no need to officially sign a contract of friendship. Just act friendly and if this guy does anything nasty then I am sure you boyfriend will have another word with him about that.

Good Luck!! xx
