it just doesn't work

[Gumleaf]

ok, so my ex girlfriend broke up with me a couple of months ago for someone else as most of you who read my posts would already know. anyways, at the time she said, i still want us to be close and good friends. the thing is, that just doesn't work for me. everytime i see her it reminds of all the hurt she caused me and sometimes it even makes me feel angry. i don't know if i'm just being selfish or what, but it doesn't work at all.

i just came home from church, which the only time i usually see her now. when i was at church she tried to talk to me, but when i saw her it just brought back that hurt feeling i've been having. am i a bad person for not getting over that hurt she caused me or am i right to still feel this way more then 2 months after the break up?

Your not a bad person, never think that, the break-up was hard on you, you should feel better in maybe a week-month or so. :hug: you will get over the break-up, and still be friends, like you wanted.

erugh i hate that
they rip your still beating heart out and then wanna be "friends"
ya I wouldn't be up for that really

If you dont' want to be friends with her, than don't.
You're not a bad person at all,
You just don't want to be around somebody that hurt you,
And that's only natural.

No, she obviously hurt you, friends don't do that. Why should you force yourself to be friends, when you don't want to be. That doesn't mean that you have to completely avoid her, Just means you don't have to force yourself to have a conversation with someone you really don't want to talk to. Maybe later you guys can be friends, but for now it may just be better to not be.

hmm. friends she says. well if you fell uncomfortable tell her. if she doesnt except it remind her that she was uncomfortable being ur girlfriend

Poor Stephen! :hug:

Well I'm sorry to hear about this. How long have you lived near her? If so then you may want to not hang around the places she goes. That way you can focus on other things than just the pain she caused.

She just crawled under your skin and then just tore your heart out. I'm sorry to hear that.
