hello!

my ex emailed me today. it took me completely by surprise! it is friendly. he told me he is so busy at the moment so he would like to just remain friends and then he gave me an update on his life. he broke up with me about 2 months ago but we finally got closure 3weeks ago... i dunno we were together for 5 years and he is my first everything including my first ex boyfriend!! so do u think i should email him back and be friends with him? or leave it for a while? i dont want him to think im ignoring him... i just think its been 3weeks of being completely by myself and now he's back wanting to be friends. i guess im just confused as its only been a short period of time. he saw me chatting to one of his friends the other day on facebook and shortly after, the email arrived. i cant help but think would he of got in contact if i hadnt spoken to his friend? like i said im confused.

kaylagal agony auntI think he can't let you go so he want's to keep you there as a friend. As soon as you start seeing someone he'll probably want more. I think he's confused, and he wants to keep you on the side, just incase, and that's not cool.

If he was your first in everything, you should ignore his email and let it go. You don't have enough experience to be friends with him. It will be too much for you. Just ignore it and if he persists, then tell him - "relationship or NOTHING."

good luck
