I just broke up with my boyfriend, two weeks ago. And he wants us to be friends. I t hought I could do it but, the way he's acting I realize that he doesn't want to talk about our recent brakeup. he says he really cant see himself going back together if we talk our recent breakup. I want to talk about what I'm feeling and If I cant talk about what I'm feeling then, I dont think I can be his friend. What do you think I should do?

I think its obvious he doesn't know what he wants. You need to take a break from him for awhile and if a few months down the road the feelings for each other are still there then act on them. He doesn't sound like he has your best interests at heart. I mean if you cant talk about the breakup what CAN you talk about.

I seem to have the opposite problem, my ex says he hates my guts and will never be friends with me, even though I don't know what he is so angry about, i stay out of his way.
You obviously still have feelings for your ex, I think you should be honest with your feelings to him, if he still just wants to be friends, let him know you just need some time to put some closure on your breakup, if he truely wants to be your friend he will understand, and who knows maybe eventually he will want more from you again.

Just move on - You guys broke up - it was not a good relationship. Why try to hang on to the left over crumbs? It is not easy to be friends with an ex - that is why so many people do not continue having contact with thier ex-es. If you need to talk - talk to one of your girlfriends she will help you sort it out.

Lose him sweetie!! I mean the whole point of having a freind is so you CAN talk about your feelings.
I think he just wants to ignore the breakup or whatever lead to the breakup so he can get back with you without the hassle of having to explain himself.

Give it some time, It will take a lil bit of it to get back on good terms with him. Its hard to be friends with an ex

Take a break from talking to him for awhile, let both of you think about things, then make a compromise or something....

You can't be pals if you just broke up. A lot of time must pass, wounds are still raw and open.

It sounds like he doesn't want to break up. If you do, then you need to make it a clean break and not try to 'stay friends'.
