>my ex-boyfriend that I left 8 years ago because I realized I loved him more as a friend than a lover, but have remained close to ever since, says that he wants to go our separate ways because he's never fallen out of love with me
>don't want him to leave me and trying to convince him not to go, but he seems deadset on doing this
My ex-boyfriend that I left 8 years ago because I realized I loved him more as a friend than a lover...
Let him go you’re killing him and he can’t move on
Let him go. If he can't get over you and wants to get better by leaving then it's his choice not yours.
Let him go.
How am I killing him?
8years...sounds like hes got issues.
Time you both moved on if you're having such an emotional crisis over it
because you selfishly want to keep him around when it clearly is affecting him. He wants to distance himself from the hurt you are causing him, but you are too self absorbed to care about him or his needs
If only you knew just how badly you’ve broken that man.
We're best friends and, once or twice per week, spend 3+ hours together. Sometimes as much as 10 if we're both free all day. He wonders sometimes why I don't date him if we're compatible enough to spend so much time together, but sadly friendship and romance are different things.
Wanting to keep someone around for a reason different than why they want to be in a relationship is selfish. If you can't see that there is something wrong.
Well, if it's been 8 years, he's definitely had alot of time to think about it. Let him go. Trying to guilt him into staying will only hurt him more than he's already hurting now.
you're a fucking bitch l0l
Imagine "caring" about someone as a friend but somehow not being capable to see how they want to do something to better themselves.
"Buh my frenship!"
Okay retard, your thing that can be found elsewhere is apparently more important than him being completely stuck on you.
>thinking you have the right to other people's time, attention and affection
lmao
Why do you think I'm a bitch?
just let him go fuck some pussy in peace you hoe, seek validation elsewhere
>the SJW has arrived
Ultimately you have to accept others' decisions, but there's nothing wrong with making your case to see if the friendship can be salvaged.
Because you're selfish. You don't care that you're hurting your best friend. You only care about how him leaving would hurt you.
dog let him go, he spent 8 years of energy on you. It actually hurts to think about. You might have fucked him up by keeping him around that long. If you had let him go 8 years ago or when he asked you why you werent dating he might have recovered in a year or two. BUT 8 FUCKING YEARS of thinking about you is pain and it will take a while for him to get over it. You have to give him closure and then let him go
If you love something, set it free
We can just spend less time together.... he doesn't have to leave me completely......
Don't let him go, keep dragging him through the mud and watch him suffer
Listen. If the man is still in love with you eight years later, he always will be. Every waking moment in which that love is not reciprocated is pure fucking agony for him. If you can’t return those feelings, then his only chance of ever being while is to break contact.
Trust me. I know.
Being whole, that is
let the man live, u wasted fucking 8 years of his life that could have been spent with someone WHO WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE WHAT HE NEEDS.just let him get the happiness he deserves, cause if you are such a friend, you would actually fucking see that he wants someone more than just a friend. Selfish cunt.
You seem like you're enjoying this thread, user.
Honestly you should just kill yourself cunt, women like you are the worst thing that a man could ever stumble upon
Tell us your story, user. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the succubus who hurt you.
Women like me? What do you mean by that, exactly?
At this point it's just bait right? You aren't actually this dense are you?
lmao this is a bait thread otherwise it would have been over after
No. You can't salvage a friendship outta that, you cause the man pain. The guy has finally grown a fucking pair and left the mental abuser.
If the roles where reversed Cuckit and Twitter would be like "YASSSSS QUEEN SLAY THAT ASSHOLE"
Women don’t love in the same way that men do.
Not much to tell, really. Fell for a woman who didn’t feel the same way. We were friends for years, used to talk for hours about everything and nothing. Years passed, she got more and more distant. I tried to get in contact with her again, and her last words to me were that we were never truly friends. It was the most hurtful thing anyone has told me, and I hate her for it. But it was liberating. I finally felt like I could move on.
>pure fucking agony
lol its not that bad. but itll always be in the back of his mind
Like, were you really hoping validation from Yas Forums ? "yeah continue ruining his life, you're a cool person".
I hope this is fake. Otherwise you're the worst bitch I can imagine
What the fuck? That's horrible. Why did she think you were ever friends?
That’s the worst kind, user. The little pain in the back of your mind slowly eroding your sanity for days, months, years. Water torture for the mind.
You can't fire someone from a job, and keep them around to do volunteer work it's unethical.
In layman's terms, your a Thot.
I'd personally call you a sociopath.
If you can't see what your doing to this poor guy by keeping him around like a dog, your pure evil. You can't move on either. My ex tried to pull this shit on me, and was all "we can still be friends right?" I hit her with the hardest "NO" known to man.
