We talked today for about 30 minutes.  My ex lover man wants to see me.  Of course he says he just misses his best friend but I know he has alterior (is that how you spell that??) motives.
 
Part of me wants to see him, I mean you get use to talking to someone basically every day for 5 years and then its over.  I've already broken one of my cardinal rules of breaking up: 
 
Thou shalt not speak to the ex for at least two weeks after the break up
 
So I say to myself, self can it hurt to have dinner with him?  Of course it could hurt.   Second cardinal rule:
 
Thou shalt not have any face to face interaction with the ex for at least a month after the break up
 
Not to say that I would fall back in love with him but I'd definitely notice that I missed his company.  But I am determined not to go back. 
 
I guess the worst part of this break up is that the relationship wasn't technically bad.  He is a nice guy who just doesn't get the whole romance thing.  And some people could live with that but I just found that I couldn't.  If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with someone then I want a little romance, a little spice.  I mean I'm 32 years old and I want to look forward to being intimate with my man and that was not the case.
 
In the end I begged off dinner but he is still trying for some type of face time.  I guess eventually I will either have to bite the bullet and tell him I can't talk/see him or go ahead and meet up with him.  Maybe we can work it out and be friends like I think we should have been in the first place.

    That's a tricky situation. It probably wouldn't hurt to see him again, but if you don't want to get back together, you just have to make it really clear it's friendship you're after and not starting up the romance again. When you've been with someone for so long, it's really hard to just stop seeing them altogether like that. Because you do miss their company. I hope you guys can work something out.

    PS: It's 'ulterior motives' :-)

    thanks evil...i knew i had that spelled wrong.  i've decided that before we get together i have to make it crystal clear that friendship is the order of the day.

    I think if you feel like you might fall back into it with him, you should hold off.  You made a decision, and it seems that you know what you want.  There is nothing wrong from walking away from a situation that simply didn't live up to be all it can be.  If he's too persistent, just explain to him that you're not ready...he doesn't have to know why.

    i say stick to those cardinal rules because they're pretty darn wise.
