writes: Dear Cupid, I dated a guy for fifteen months and then broke up with him because he was neglectful and not affectionate, like at all. After some time apart, we started talking again as just-friends, even though I found it emotionally painful.The thing is, the pain and anger regarding how things were in the relationship, including the recent revelation that he was so unkind to me because I'm from a different religious background, aren't going away. In fact, I feel as bad now, if not worse, as when I first broke up with him!I value his friendship, despite everything I've been through with him, but I don't want to carry this hurt and rage for the rest of my life. What should I do?

 Hi Rachel, Do you want to be with him?
It sounds like you're not sure at all if you do.
the only way that you'll be able deal with the hurt you feel is to deal with it, either by talking to him about it and hopefully getting past it, or by trying some couples counselling or counselling yourself to deal with the feelings that you have towards him.
I hope it works out for you.
