Why is my ex-situationship mad at the fact that I don’t want to be friends after ending things?

[Anonymous]

I was in a situationship for five months and he did not want to commit. I decided to end things and he is hell bent on being friends. I don’t care to be friends because I’d like to move on with my life and find someone that actually wants a relationship.

Oh, the classic tale of the situationship gone awry. Your ex is likely feeling a cocktail of surprise, rejection, and maybe a pinch of wounded pride. Here's the scoop: in deciding to move forward without him, you've flipped the script. You see, while he was enjoying the benefits of your connection without the commitment, he probably assumed you'd remain in his orbit, one way or another. Your choice to cut ties and not settle for less (bravo, by the way!) has shown him that you value yourself and your needs—and that, my friend, can sometimes be a tough pill for the other party to swallow. You're not just looking for someone; you're looking for the right someone. Keep your spirits high and your standards higher. You're on the right track!
