writes:My ex boyfriend and I have not spoken in 6 months. We broke up about 2 years ago, but remained friends. we had been best friends for about 3 years before we got together, and then after we broke up we stayed friends still. i spoke to him virtually every day for hours, and we have so much in common and get on really well.we stopped talking because we had been winding each other up about stupid little things. every now and again we would stop talking, but always make up again. this time, i figured i would give him some more space to calm down, and now its been six months and i miss him like mad.im pretty sure that he misses me too, based on how close we were before. i emailed him last week, saying i miss you, can we catch up, just a quick note really. its now been a week since i sent it and nothing - i would think he was ignoring it, except i checked my sent box and the email isnt there... so perhaps the email didnt actually send for whatever reason. also, he may have blocked my email before so maybe it doesnt come up in your sent box if that happens, i dont know, i dont think so but i dont know why it wouldnt be in the sent box because i definitely sent it.anyway, im waffling now, i want to email again, in case he isnt ignoring me because he actualy didnt get it. but if he did get it and is ignoring me, i dont want to annoy him and make him less likely to ever want to speak to me.i know you will probably say its best left in the past, but i so miss him. i cant imagine life without him, and if he didnt receive my email im pretty sure he would want me to have contacted him, but out of pride hes not contacting me. by the way, i dont want him back as a boyfriend, just as a friend.i just want to know what i can say without sounding offensive/annoying/whatever if he did already receive the email. im just confused and scared and i want my best friend back, please help me.

one of the hardest truth we all have to come to terms with is,most of the relationships dont last forever they were not designed to stand all the chalenges thrown at them.what makes it harder is our effort to forget to through people out of our mind and hearts.it is not wise to follow the bird that you will not catch at all.just pick up pieces of your life and continue as if nothing happened.there are many fish in the sea yours is just to market yourself

 well if you really want to speak to him, try talking face to face and telling him how you feel about him not talking to you. found out if he's upset with you, or what's going on, sometimes it might not be you. it could be something else bothering him. i hope this helped you out, and good luck to you and him.
