writes:I need someone's opinion or analysis on this situation preferably from a woman's perspective.Basically, my ex-girlfriend was torn between me and her ex-boyfriend. After a few weeks, she chose the other guy. It hurt a bit as any break up does, but I love her enough to let her go. She keeps telling me she wants to be friends, but would understand if I walked away to be happy. After thinking about it, I really thought that I could be friends with her and keep my emotions in check. Part of me is doing this because it's something she wants, but the foundation is already there so I figured why not build something from it. Then she texts me saying she wants us to act 'normal' and 'be friends', but that she can't act normally around me...she is holding back and really wants to do things to/with me that she knows she can't because we aren't together anymore. I can sense that this is causing her a lot of stress and frustration. I'm sure that giving her space would help alleviate these frustrations, but she continues to insist that we be friends. Why is she torturing herself by wanting to be friends, when she clearly can't handle that? It's almost like she's stringing herself along.

Listen, she keeps you along for the ride because it allows her the freedom to date other guys, while you sit and wait. When she's done with her men, she will come back to you. I put anything on it.
