I recently ended it with my ex of about a week.....here's the story....I've known her for two years, she's one of my best friends. but I had recently just got out of a relationship with another woman. I feel I jumped the gun, and I accepted her request to be my gf. I want so badly to be with my friend of two years bc I am highly attracted to her and feel our relationship would work.

I ended it for now bc I feel it selfish to not be over my past and to not be able to give her my whole self. I feel like I will lose her forever if I don't get over things soon, but only time will tell how fast I get over things.....

I feel like the worst person in the world for even accepting her request, I just like her so much, now I feel I've ruined everything.

I have been hurt so much by my previous ex, I don't understand why I even care. I just want to move past the hurt, the pain, the memories. I want to heal and be able to fully give my whole heart to my friend, she is amazing and deserves all of me, not some of me.

I told her this, she says she understands, but is upset, which is understandable.

I just don't know what to do, if I'm doing the right thing? or what? I'm so lost and feel like I just let the best thing I had walk into my life go.....


help plz.

" You are Always doing the right thing when you realize you aren't healed enough to begin a new relationship. It was the most honorable, mature, thoughtful, sweet, kind thing you could do for her and especially yourself, hon. *high five.
You have the insight and clarity about healing and taking things slow after a break-up that many just don't 'get'. I am amazed and so very happy to read this post from a woman who is strong, smart and making the right choices. "

" Uhhh.. Sister. 'Just Be' for now.
Reflect back to learn; but stay in Today to be real with yourself.
Try not to be worried about the future,..because the future will be there waiting every day you wake up :O)
Deep breath. Ground yourself.
I promise you one simple thing, it will all be okay IF you listen to your instincts (it's that Positive Voice in your head that doesn't sound like you thinking *smile). Just sit back for a month or six.... and listen :O)
Weeks of solitary thought is not going to hurt you or determine how your whole life will be lived, honey. Relax for a while,..It will all come to you. (hug) "

" PLEASE!!

Just tell her the truth. That you like her very much but need to process the end of your previous relationship.

A good friend will understand that and if she truly loves you and wants a future with you she will wait and just sit and be supportive of you while you go thru what YOU need to go thru.

But not telling her why is NOT fair. I see WAY to much of this going around. You must speak the truth from your heart 100% of the time. "

" Thank you all, I've told her why and we are in agreement it's best to be just friends as of now. I need my time. I do not know what my future holds but life is too short to dwell on this. No matter what happens, Imma do me. Thnx for the support everyone. "
