I still love him but don't want to be in a relationship with him

Question - (12 June 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 12 June 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

About a month ago I contacted my ex boyfriend and we started to talk. We had broken up about 10 months ago and both really missed each other, so we decided to try and be friends again. It's been going great, we get along just like before the relationship and have been having a great time. But when I contacted him I felt like I was totally over him, and now that we're talking again all my feelings have come back. So, I still love him... but I don't want to be in a relationship with him. It all feels really confusing and I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should tell him, or just keep it locked up, but either way I don't want to lose him as a friend. Should I tell him how I feel? Keep it to myself? Should I just suck it up and break things off?

I think you should be honest with him because otherwise it could create strain between you. If you both know where you are it is less likely either of both of you will get hurt.

Well i've been in many similar situations before and sometimes it seems like when i really like the guy he's not all that interested but when i stop liking him he starts to like me. You never really know until you find the one who u have no more doubts about. Have you ever heard this saying " If you love something let it go, and if it comes back then thats how you know?" Confusing lol just listen to Marques Houston's "Circles". But anyway i feel like you should tell your ex how u feel because how would you ever know if you never asked? And even if he does'nt feel the same way at least you gave it a shot because no matter who he is you have to keep it real with yourself!!

maybe tell him how you feel about him but also tell him that you dont think being in a relationship with him isnt right either and just see what happens you never know he might feel the same as you

I think you maybe feel this way because you see all the good stuff in the relationship you had before with him and miss it. I think you should stay friends with him and not tell him your feelings. If you still feel like this in a few months say something casually but not just now.
