Hey me and my girlfriend that I had been with 2 and a half years have been having trouble lately. Before we went out we were both best friends and I really want to stay best friends with her even if where not together anymore, do you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Also things seemed to have changed in our relationship from meaning the world to each other to now where we get in arguments more and she doesnt seem as interested in me. Do you think its possible with time apart as friends (say a month or two) to get back to the love we had before or is it just going to go back to how it was right before breaking up... I know online isnt such a great place to ask but ive already talked to a lot of friends and wanted to see what some strangers thought on the issue, thanks

you should get to the "bottom of the probs"
why have you two been arguing so much?
maybe you need to compromise on the issues goin on.
or not neccesarily take a break, but not see each other as much, give each other space. if that doesnt work then you can do wat ur planing on doing.
maybe shes just stressed out from work/school/fam...
wait did u break up already??
good luck

my girlfriend of 3 years and i have recently had a similar issue. we were very good friends before we started dating, and are now completely in love with each other. over the last couple of months we seemed to start having some troubles; getting into little arguments over nothing, easily frustrated with each other, etc.
what we did is took some time apart. we tried not talking to one another for a few days and not seeing each other. it really drove us crazy. you dont realize what you have until it's gone. my advice is to try this. talk about your issues with your girlfriend, figure out your frustrations.
this for sure won't be easy, but i'll tell you from recent experience, it really worked out for the best. we only spent a week apart, but that was enough for us to realize what we had and what we needed to change. since then, we've both made great efforts to work on what needed to be worked on and really appreciate each other as we did before our troubles.
hope this helps. good luck.

wooow i'm glad i've encountered your situation...me and my best friend have been going though many many circles about the whole "go out" or "not go out" situation. Thanks for the insight...ANYWAY
i know you wanna stay friends but i think right now, just give each other space - when most people get into frustrations like that it's because they need their own time just to be alone, you know? My best friend and i have been frustrated b/c of that situation so we wouldn't talk for a week...i'll call him a week later and he's fine...and you know what they say...abscence makes teh heart grow fonder...good luck!

When you break up with a wife or girlfriend it is best for both of you to break clean and not see each other again. That is if there are no children involved.

i would talk to your girlfriend about how you feel about where
the relationship is going. it may be time for both of you
to really look at taking a break from each other .with any
situation, it sometime take time to deal with things that
going on.
