Unfortunately, sometimes love passes. And the person most dear to you suddenly declares: "Let's just be friends with you." It is not surprising that an unsuspecting lover can get confused in such a situation.
Instructions
Step 1
There can be many reasons why your passion uttered a sacramental phrase. Perhaps in your relationship you behaved more like a friend, which, of course, is not bad, but only if you are also a gentle lover. Maybe they don't want to communicate with you at all, but they say this phrase so as not to offend with a refusal. It is also likely that your love is extremely pleasant to your soul mate, but she does not intend to burden herself with strong bonds with you.
Step 2
The answer to this proposal depends on your desire. Would you like to be friends with your former lover? Can you be with him without hoping to get him back and feeling no more attraction? Will you suffer when he tells you about the new relationship? Only after you answer these questions honestly can you make a decision.
Step 3
Think about whether you are really interested in this person. If only passion kept you together, friendship is unlikely to work out for you. But if you are interesting to each other as interlocutors and have gone through a lot together, you should try.
Step 4
Don't assume that this is just a temporary estrangement in your relationship. If you agree to stay close to your former passion only in order to return her, it is better to immediately abandon this event. It is unlikely that anything will come of your venture, and you will only torment yourself with vain hopes.
Step 5
Ask for time to think. You don't have to respond to this offer right away. To begin with, heal mental wounds, move away from the experienced shock. You may not be ready to become friends right now, but you will gladly do so in a few months, when you are free from worries. You need to honestly tell your former soul mate about this.
Step 6
Unfortunately, the offer to remain friends sometimes means only a polite refusal. Perhaps your ex-half is trying to soften the blow with this.
