writes: My ex and I broke up awhile ago BUT I still have to see him all the time. And no I'm not just "accidentally" running into him. My best friend(she's the mary kate to my ashley)'s boyfriend is one of his best friends so every time we go out, I always have to see him which doesn't really help me get over him. Especially since he's always drunk and hitting on me. What should I do to get over him? Or help me move on? Because I'm aware that if he wanted to be with me, he would be. But it's hard because it's not like I can go get a new friend group and I can't avoid my friends just because of him.Also BONUS he said he broke up with me because he was depressed about life(which he was), is this a legit excuse?

Any excuse to break up is legit. It just means he wants out of the relationship. However, there are no good excuses to flirt with your ex while you are drunk and make her miserable, only to continue being broken up when he gets sober. You are right, if he wanted to be with you he would have made an honest attempt at getting you back. When he doesn't try to get you back, tell him that this flirting and bothering you needs to stop. It is making you uncomfortable, and you still want to hang out as friends so he needs to leave it at that. If he has regrets about the breakup let him figure it out on his own and not use you as a comfort blanket.
Last question is for you: do you want this man back as your boyfriend or not?
