How do I go about that?
How do I get into the friend zone with my ex girlfriend. We ended real badly?
How do I go about that?
I have an ex just like you. He screwed everything up and has spent years trying to fix things with me. Calling from blocked numbers, making fake Snapchat’s and Instagrams, reaching out to my mom and my best friend. He’s done everything but LISTEN to what I have already told him. So my advice to you, would be to stop trying to force your way into her life. It’s so rude and disrespectful for her to flat out tell you she’s done, and you decide to treat her rejection as an obstacle because you are being selfish and want a friendship. It does not work like that and let me tell you, the more you keep trying to push for this the more you will push her away because you won’t LISTEN. As someone who has a guy continuously doing what you are thinking of doing, I am urging you to respect her wishes and leave her alone. She means it.
I'm currently blocked on Facebook messenger , but I might send one last email. But I won't set up fake accounts
Why would you do that? Like what’s driving you in this?
Because I regret the ones I done and found out it has effected her massively, and I'm the one to blame for it. I'm definitely not trying to get back , I'm in a 6 year relationship
So be honest, what do you think your presence in her life will do for HER? Because this sounds like you trying to ease your guilty conscience. What makes you think she’s willing to try and help you feel better when she’s feeling like shit herself? You look like you’re feeling pitiful for her frame of mind and that’s more insulting than anything.
This is all about you: your guilt, your conscience, your desire to feel better and not burn a bridge. You, you, you. But you twist it in your mind to feel like it’s about her, about mending her broken heart and stuff, while you are in a 6 year relationship about to get married. She’s spent all this time recovering for you, dude: now you want to open old wounds so you can feel better. It’s fucked, 100%. I’m not trying to make you feel like shit, for the record. I’m just giving you an unbiased opinion.
I'm hoping that since I went through the shit with her, I can explain a lot of it. Because some of her versions on the events are incorrect ( probably because we finished toxicly) and no it's not a good feeling to know I have treated someone like that.
The most you can hope fire is that she accepts your apology, but from there, you need to work on forgiving yourself and focus on your own relationship. Speaking of which are you guys good? Bc in a very solid relationship I’m surprised your fiancé is ok with you so seriously trying to fix things with an ex.
*hope for
We're fine, but she doesn't know about this. If I tell her this will create another drama which I dont need
I'm currently staying away from her because of covid.
Do you think maybe that contributes? Like you and her are separated because of Covid, that creates a lot of time alone to overthink things. I could be wrong but you probably haven’t talked to your friends ex in these 6 years. So why open that can of worms now? You are right it would create drama with your fiancé because she would not understand this.
Basically the original reason I hit her up , was because I'm buying a house with some vaccant land next door, and I needed to find out information about the land, which the real estate agent abd my lawyer don't know about. I was thinking who do I know who works for the council on subdivisions, and bingo her name came up. So I thought I would give it a try and ask her. She was shocked to hear from me, and doesn't work there anymore.
She them sent a big message about how I had negatively effected her in the long run and how our relationship was for sex and other wrong actions I did which effected her.
That message surprised abd shocked me. I knew she might be surprised and maybe a little angry, but I didn't expect to have negatively effected her as much, now that's really got me thinking.
So maybe an apology would work best and give her closure. Send your own message and tell her your side. But leave it there, you don’t need to create a friendship or force anything. Just spill your guts and wash your hands. What matters now is if you’re a different person and have grown from who you were then...
Thats a really tough situation and you would really have to make strong amends. You would have to do favors and prove you are indeed apologetic.
I would start with a written letter well written too in details of how you did them wrong and I would also write that I understand you never wanting to speak to me and you may not ever forgive me but I need to let you know that I am sincerely sorry for hurting you.
thanks for the MHO
From some of the comments it sounds to me like the Only way for that to happen is to not try and actually forget about it.
Over the years she will forget you and you her. You will have completely separate lives and your personalities will mature and change over time. And then after 10 years either by accident or by deliberation you'll cross paths and maybe, just maybe she will be open to talk to you. Then you'd have to demonstrate that you've changed and that's your way in.
But you will also have inevitably changed by then and might not even bother thinking about it.
My point is, she is hurt, scarred and still pissed like a hornets nest. That shit need some serious time to fade into the background. You're both off better letting go.
I dont know, I don't talk with any of my exes. Its best not to, because you don't know how she would react seeing you with someone else or you if you see her with someone else... Maybe you won't approve of the guy when it isn't your business or vice versa. Good luck.
Thanks, and good points

I think you're wasting your time. Friendship is a two-way street. That ship has sailed with her. Doesn't matter what YOU want. It has to be mutual.
You can always make an overture. Maybe enough time has passed for her to forgive you, but you did say she hates you and doesn't want to be friends with you. You've given yourself the answer.
It's not possible.
Thanks, but I'm going to try.
OK, I'm nosey. WHY? "she hates me and dosen't want to be friends with me."
This sounds like it's all about YOU FEELING BETTER ABOUT THE BREAKUP. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with her needs or wants, which you aren't aware of anyway since you don't communicate with her.
Sounds selfish.
Umm no that's not true. Basically I don't like hearing that she's still going through shit after 15 years Because of me, that sucks for her and obviously no communication hasn't worked. She also said she feels sick around me or a bit scared, and that bloody sucks to hear, I don't want people to think like thar around me.
So Basically I want both of us to feel better, I want to stop having a negative impact on her, but I also don't like people being scared around me. Not a nice feeling to have
OK. Now this sounds even weirder! Come on. It's been 15 years since you broke up with this person and she's having all these negative reactions about that ancient breakup? OK. I take it back. This IS NOT about you. It's about HER.
My recommendation is to steer wide and clear of this person. If she hasn't made her peace with a 15 year old breakup, something is off about her. And it's NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to fix anything about this situation.
This lady needs to get some therapy and why is she holding on to these negative feelings after all this time? You are not a therapist and you cannot solve her problems in this area.
Remeber, you cannot control how someone feels about you, or how or why they think something about you. You can only control your OWN feelings and emotions. You cannot fix her situation. Live with your discomfort. And, if you know what you did wrong in that long ago relationship, avoid doing so in the future.
That is ALL you can do. It's up to her to handle herself.
It’s too late you treated her badly and you made her your ex / she doesn’t want anything to do with you. Move on and treat the next woman better. Now the next man can treat her better.

How dud u get treated like shit, in what way?
It's a culture problem when men are young, they see girls as sex first, It's seems like everyone else is doing it so you also join in.
@t-8900 Christian people are often the most judgmental people out there, religious faith has nothing to do with being a good person.
How about 15 years later though?
I don’t think you want to do that. Respectfully, That to me sounds like an excuse to keep being in her life in hopes of getting back together somehow and someday. I’d say move on and heal. & let her heal. Find yourself again and do things you love and stopped doing before her. Someday you’ll find someone much better who fits exactly what you look for :) don’t give up that hope. Wish you a happy day/night✨
It's definitely not a way to get bavk, as I'm in engaged in a 6 year relationship.
I just dont like the idea of the damage I've done.
Then let her heal :) & let yourself heal as well. The damage cannot be undone and I’m sure she’s forgotten about it by now. Your s/o would probably feel uncomfortable knowing you’re trying to become friends with this person again. Relax, and free your mind from past troubles. It’s time to let go of the past trauma or mistakes. all you can do from now on is pick yourself up and keep going and not create the same mistakes you did before. now, if you’re any to apologize to them , consult your partner first about it so that they can give you the green light to apologize to that person RESPECTFULLY. But that is my advice to you. ✨
Couldn't agree more. Remember that every single decision you make, hastily, well thought, deeply considered or with the factors briefly glossed over or ignored all together; every single decision has a related consequence. Attached to that is the fact that some things that can be said cannot ever be unsaid. Likewise some things that can be done, can never be undone. Some things are actually unforgivable.
To forget these points is to invite regret to dance, stomping on your heart, each step a woeful reminder of our foolishness.
Make yourself more, better, greater than you currently are. Do this each day without fail. And you'll find yourself far from the needy sniveling thing who asked this question.
Embrace your chosen lot. Revel in it's consequence and don't be such a fool again.
You need to respect her wishes and feelings and just let her be. There is a learning lesson from everything we do in life, and this is definitely one of them. If she ever has a change in heart, there is the possibility she will reach out to you. "If you really love this girl as much as you say you do, just tell goodbye and good luck" - Orlando Jones-- "Say it Isn't So" (2001 Movie with Chris Klein and Heather Graham). Why were you such a douche bag to her?
You don't. Before she accuses you of harassment. She doesn't want to bother you anymore and you should respect her. If you know you in another relationship, why are you going to risk sabotaging that one?
Because I'm not trying to get with her, i just want to be friends. Mt current girlfriend doesn't need to know, she has also texted other guys in the past.
If you wanted to keep your friends or whatever it was you're looking for, you should have thought about it before either of you broken up. Focus on who you are with before your obsession makes you lose that too. You never cross a woman who already has you on her hate list. You just don't.
Let her go, as she asks. Take it as a life lesson. You screwed up with someone you loved. Learn from it and try not to do it again.
Evil ones can’t become friends again with ex/people they mistreated. People that mistreat DO NOT change this is why a smart ex will fail to return and be friends again. Your loss her freedom
You're wrong, plenty of people change over time
Whatever maybe on tv or fantasyland. Your ex is in the real world, all you want to do is mess up and control her new like. Give her her FREEDOM
Unfortunately, you can't make anyone want to be friends with you. You can give a heartfelt and sincere apology, but if they don't want to accept it, there is nothing more you can do.
You leave her the fuck alone! If she doesn't want an ex in her life, you do not push your agenda on her.
You don't. You said yourself your treated her bad. You don't get to be in her life now just because you realize you fucked up and feel bad
It’s not going to work since you treated her bad. It’s best to give up on that.
@Jouth I didn't cheat on her, we just had too much sex in every place you could imagine and not enough 'romantic' dates. So unfortunately that stands out.
It never works like that. Of course, it will be difficult to accept the breakup but being friends with her will not work, just move on
Leave the poor girl alone
You've done enough damage!!
What makes you think you're God that being friends with her will treat years of abuse and or harassment from you. I promise you she wants nothing to do with you. Just leave her alone😰
Leave her alone, you put her in shambles why would she want to back with you? I personally would hate you too if you did that to me, don’t talk to her move on with life.
learn from your mistakes, move on, don't treat the next girl as just F*** meat.
You don't. You already blew your shot when you treated her like shit. Apologize if you get a chance and then move on.
You can't force anyone to be friends with you, much less if there's so much resentment. You can apologize but it won't guarantee she'll become friendly with you.
Acknowledge the fact that you inflicted pain and trauma onto someone and use it as a way of learning. Next time you meet someone you know what not to do.
Why? What value will that add? If she doesn’t want to, you need to move on.
Because I went through a lot and, the other day she said i left her with negative long lasting effects and that she feels scared around me.
I dont want to someone to think like that around me. It sucks.
You can say you’re sorry, but I think that’s all she’ll accept. And if she somehow agrees, it’ll take a very long time
Friend zone is never a place you wanna be.
Better choice is slam the door and keep walking
