Definitely shag the boyfriend
Move on and let it fade out.
Don’t drown your spirits with a bottle of red.
Drown them with a bottle of spirits. Go big!
Do you think you would have remained pals after she got with another parter?
Seems odd to be willing to lose a good friend just because she’s found a man. Yes, it can be tough to see, but (no offence intended), grow a set, be happy for her and let things ride.
Don’t be a dick about it and you will probably still be friends in 10/20 years. Who knows, the flame may re-ignite – just don’t cling on to that hope
By behaving like an actual grown-up, I stayed good friends with several of my exes, some I broke up with, others broke up with me, one of those I ended up actually living with after twenty years. Although to be fair we were never really ‘going out’, we were really very good friends. One went straight out with my best mate from school, got married, they now live just across the road from me, and I see them both regularly, three of my exes invited me to their weddings.
Plenty of people of my acquaintance have expressed astonishment that I could be friends with my exes; I avoided saying that possibly they were never friends in the first place…
It really depends on the circumstances..
I'm very good friends with one of my ex's... she's engaged and I'm currently single... But we don't get along as a couple, simple as that.
I'm sure we'll remain life time friends, and some of my friends are like 'does it bother you she's engaged'?
My answer to that is simple... we get along much better as friends than we do as a couple, so as long as there is nothing bad going on in her new realationship, it's not my business.
It sounds like the OP is still holing a candle for his ex, though, which is maybe not healthy, and complicates the matter.
Most of my ex's though, if they contacted me, I would run a mile!!!!
Yeah well that conversation has been had and it was as painless as possible. 2 bottle of red have diminished the pain somewhat. Tomorrow will be an almighty hangover but a new start.
Many thanks all
