How to Breakup/Deal With Break Ups - Confused


Expert: ***ERICA*** - 10/20/2009

Question
Hi Erica,

I hope you can help me with this. My ex and I dated for 5 months. He's a great guy. Two months into our relationship, we started fighting alot. Things got really bad that we were fighting almost every week. (Both of my other relationships also ended because of fighting. So I realize now that I have issues that I need to work on). A month ago, he told me that he was sick of fighting and that he just couldn't deal with me being mad at him all the time. I told him that I would change so he agreed to give our relationship another try. But ever since then, I saw that he just wasn't trying anymore and we broke up two weeks later. When we broke up, he told me that he still cared about me and that he wanted us to remain close. He called me everyday until I told him that I didn't want to talk to him for a while because I needed time to deal with the breakup. That was two weeks ago. I've been doing alot of thinking and I feel bad for the way I treated him. I've accepted the fact that things didn't work out between us but I still want us to be friends. Should I start talking to him again or is it too soon for us to have a friendship?

Answer
Dear Anna,
I definitely think it is too soon to be friends... way too soon.  Learn from this and your previous situations.  Maybe go to a counselor and find out why it is that you like conflict in your relationships.  Until you fix your own problems you definitely won't be in a satisfying relationship.  Give it 90 days of no contact.  Work on you!!! If at that point you still want to remain friends with him that will have given you enough time to really know what you want.  Good Luck
