My girlfriend and i broke up a week ago. She told me she wanted a break to find herself. She has recently started seeing another guy. She said she wants to be friends with me still and cant imagine not talking to me.She has told me how she is hanging out with other guys and i told her i was happy for her and i was glad she was doing new things.

She doesn't want the committment of being your GF anymore but she wants to keep some of the biggest benefits that the relationship has been providing her. Not fair.

You don't need to completely block her out of her life now, but DO back it down a lot. Stop being the kind of close friend & confidant that you have been during the relationship. Make her have to try to get that from the new guy she is all over. Don't fulfill her daily relationship needs for him while he is getting the fun & interest & affection out of the deal.

You're better off moving on from her. It was a lousy excuse for her to break up on.

Laura1318 agony auntJust be platonic friends and don't get too close or you will only get hurt.

Go out and meet others and forget about her.

rcn agony auntIf you are comfortable in being friends, do. I would not recommend getting back into a relationship. Finding yourself, has nothing to do with, finding yourself in someone else's arms. That was a poor excuse for breaking it off, so I'd stay out of a relationship, because she may excuse other behaviors just as easily.
