Friendship too soon & Setting yourself up for heartbreak
After a few months of getting everything out in the open, the heartbreak is easing and you are finally talking without any mean words to each other. You feel it is time to be friends and move into a different place with your Ex. I fell for it hard and stupid. He started the contact saying he missed my friendship and that we shared a bond that no one would ever understand, so we should not let that go and be friends. So what if we can't be together as a couple? We were still darn good friends and we did make a good team right? Wrong. We didn't make a good team nor were we that good of friends.
How could I have not seen this freight train coming? I tried for one week to be his friend. We chatted over email all day, we texted all night. We talked about nothing bad, and nothing of the break up was mentioned. I was on cloud nine. Could it be that he really missed me and not my friendship? Was he still in love with me? I fell for it. I opened my heart to him again. And you know what? He used that to his advantage. I found out his girlfriend was out of town and he was just lonely.
Now, no text late at night saying "Goodnight Dingus" no emails saying "Have a good day". There was nothing but me and a broken heart again. I don't blame anyone but myself for this. I let him back in, I took the chance. I don't think you can be friends with your Ex until you are truly over them. Because deep inside, you want more. You want that old feeling of comfort. You want your best friend back. All you get back by becoming friends to soon? Is all the pain and heartache that you worked so hard to get over.
Protect your heart my friends, wait until you have no romantic feelings before you take your Ex back as a friend. Or you set yourself up for more pain and more sadness. Worse than before.
