Is being a friend going to work in this situation?

Tagged as: Friends, The ex-factor<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (15 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 December 2010)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So my now ex girlfriend cheated on me with a random guy she now doesn't talk to anymore. We broke up, then she got back together with an ex boyfriend. She says she still wants to be my "best friend." And in the past couple of weeks has been texting me and talking to me on the phone a lot. And much of the time she complains about what a jerk her current boyfriend is. I'm not really sure what she wants me to say to her. I still feel like theres still something there between us. She doesn't tell her boyfriend she's still talking to me... a lot. Does being just the friend guy to her work in these kinds of situations?

petina1 agony auntNo, i don't believe you can be just a friend with someone youve had a relationship with. She could be keeping you on standby in case this relationship fails. If her boyfriend finds out as well it could get messy. Let her know to call you when she's free if you like, but i wouldnt advise you to be on the sidelines in this capacity at the moment. Give her a chance to see what she really wants. Him or you. She will be most confused and won't be able to make a proper decision whilst both of you are being dangled.

she cheated, does she really deserve you or your friendship in her life anymore?
