Do they always want to be "friends" when you break up?
Do they always want to be "friends" when you break up?
I could think it's all part of the niceities of breaking up, the suggestion that we continue to be "friends" after we've clearly gone our separate ways, but I wonder if there is some toher purpose...future supply, or just to think he's scored another "female friend", at the very least, to stack up with the rest of the "friends"...fall out from previous tattered relationships.
During our final talk it was clear to my N that I was not going to sleep with him or do him anymore artistic/creative favors for his various projects. So clearly the well is dry with me. I have nothing left to offer. Why then did he still insist on being friends? I said I dont need any more male friends (well, him, mostly) and that because I am still attracted to him, there is always going to be that element creeping in. Meaning I dont want to be standing around watching him hit on other women, or even talk about them. I'm sick of it.
His answer? "OK then, one day when you're totally in love with some new guy, THEN we can be friends."
Yeah, this was one of those "WTF?" moments. Come on! So what he's saying is "when you're over me and don't care like you do now, THEN we can be friends."
But WHY??? I have nothing more to offer, any time..ever again.
Maybe it was just some way to avoid being totally rejected. I've noticed sometimes with other men too, I am ready to bolt forever and they seem to like the lingering.
