Thread: Same group of friends breakup what to do? Free Dating, Singles and Personals

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by Rappstar609
SO. My ex girlfriend and I broke up in June and we had been going out for 3 years w/o ever breaking up prior. We stayed broken up until August, and the reason we got back together was because we saw each other, just 1 time was all it took and we thought it could work again. Well, it didn't so we broke up again, I guess you could say we tried the 'friend' thing (that is an awful idea btw) So ...

Were you the kind of kid who wouldn't really care too much about a toy until someone else played with it? Get over it. You have no say in who your friends are friends with. If they want to hang out with her, so be it. You can either be a big boy and deal or get new friends.

Well, considering you gave no information on HOW you broke up, I'll comment on the way you posted this. Grow up. Seriously. You can't control who she hangs around with or who your 'friends' wants to have as friends. It's ridiculous. Considering you have 20 friends, you can't occupy yourself with someone else and be civil to her if you come around each other. To me, it sounds like you are ...

I gave my X custody of the mutual friends and neighbours... Either suck it up Buttercup or move on.

Stop being a dooche man. Someones friendship with another is none of your business. I know its hard but it is what it is. Theres nothing you can do about the situation besides breaking up friendships. Go to the event and have a good time, don't mention it again to your friends and deal with it. That would be the best way to handle the situation. Just don't talk to her.

Wow. You are really the star of your own show, aren't you. she was basically 'born' into my core group of friends, like 20 of them that I have known my whole life Like, she has also known these people for her whole life, or only the past three years that you were dating? Doesn't matter either way, you have to get over it and realize you can't control 21 peoples' social lives.

OP, you are the only one responsible for you being happy. She's not responsible for making you happy (and never was) and your friends aren't either. If you are not happy, then you need to change, not them. This is a great opportunity for you for personal growth. You have a chance to be a man, to take responsibility for yourself, and to make yourself happy. I would suggest that you carry on...

Thanks for the quick responses! Guess I made myself an easy target by posting such a deustch thread, but you all are absolutely right I suppose, just not gonna be easy.

WOW... a core of like 20 Friends?... that is amazing..congrats! I personally don't do Friends... it's a big commitment for me... so I limit it to a handful...less actually. Hell I've been on FB from the start and still only have 5 Friends...and 4 of them are actually associates...lol back to you...well.... let it go... you can't petition people or sway others... you are all grown ups... and...

Many of your true friends will understand and ostracize her and remain loyal to you. The guys who are interested in her more than in your friendship might go after her if she's attractive. Methinks that's where your worry lies. You don't want her but don't want one of your "friends" to have her. (Possession. Painful stuff.) None of that will change the nature of who you are. You are a young ...

I with Candid" on this one, did not want all the crap so she got custody of the friends and neighbor with the exception of the true blue fellas. There is than man code thing, you just don't date you true buddy's ex. Iwould wish her on my enemy LOL.

Oh bless - friendship is always stronger than love, it is the first Red Flag when a new partner wants you to stop seeing your friends). Yours is the other way round both of you want to keep the friends, in the settlement, sadly it just does not work that way, friends choose who they want out of the couple and go with that person. Try making new friends outside the 'old gang' of course when you find a new lady you will meet her...

You have a couple of choices here. You could dump the entire crew of 20 friends as well as your ex girlfriend, and start over. Or you could accept the fact that you cannot control any other human being and take the "high road" and be civil to your ex when you bump into each other. And refuse to take the bait when someone says something to "piss you off". Just say to yourself, "I'm not going there." Yes,...

Doesn't matter who saw them first unfortunately... if you be a d!ck about it you could loose all your friends. Once I broke up with a boyfriend that decided to keep every party and event on our social calendar with my friends which he hasn't even known very long and in an effort to get some distance I grew apart and lost that whole group of people. I guess we chat on facebook but I haven't seen a single one of them since the...

This happens when you are in relationships. I was married for 10 years. His friends, became mine. Hell, I moved out of state for the man. When I decided to leave him (number of reasons) the "friends" sitation pissed him off as well. Mainly becasue in our situation they agreed with me and he got his feelings hurt. However, I did not discuss our break up; people KNEW why I left him. For me it became too much, so I pulled away from...

You need to get over your feelings of jealousy. She is going to be friends with these people, because they like her and she likes them. When you see her, be polite, don't talk badly of her to your friends, be an adult. She obviously is a nice person, or they woudn't be still friends with her, so accept her as a friend, and move on Beth

If it's that bothersome, then don't be around your friends when they are hanging out with her. Better yet, get a new crew of people to spend time with.
