Post subject: The return of the ex

My ex decided to come to SH after the CNY celebration.

Initially we planned on venturing into some art-based business as he is really good at them. I am like, "fine! Do come, and we will talk more about it when you are here. You can stay at my place for sometime. "

Not so long ago, we had a chat and apparently he is up to more than just business. He asked if I am seeing someone else at the moment and spoke about wanted to have a gf and how much he remembered the wonderful time we spent together.

I freaked out!

This sudden news turned everything planned upside down. I didnt want him to come and get back together with me.

My question is, should I tell him now, that I cant be with him anymore? Or should I tell him in person when I am back during CNY holidays?

The only concern about this is he is under some emotional breakdown right now, seems like things are not working well for him at where he is.

It depends who broke up with who!

If you still have feelings for him then you can go back to him but you may also know that he may broke up again (if he is the one who broke up!).

It doesnt depend on him...it depends on you...

You said YOU FREAKED OUT then tell him you dont want to get back with him! Its so simple!

Fathai: I left him a year ago, didnt go through the official break-up thing, but its obvious enough ( as I also left the country)

Didnt keep in contact for quite sometime, but 6 months ago we started talking, and eventually became the best of best buddy ( He agreed on that too!)

I cannot accept him in any other way but just buddies.

He had a gf for a short while but brokeup lately as he didnt find anything common between them, and told me he misses the moment we spent together.

He wanted to come so badly, as he needed to find himself once again ( sound like he's lost??!!??)

I dont mind him staying for a short while but it might turn bad and I never want to ruin this friendship.

You are not responsible for him.

Dont ask him to go to your place I think he can find an accomodation by himself.

Dont be too nice with people!

if your concern is for his well-being, then keep it there. just because he may be in a slump doesnt' mean you need to coddle him. you can treat him as a friend without leading him on or allowing him to think you are the cure for his problems. if that proves to be too difficult, then simply explain to him that getting back together will never be an option.

Have to admit the Ex-sex idea came more than once. As per Mag's :
....but ugh... soooooooo ick, squirmy, uncomfortable the next day.

moral? leave directly after.


Exactly why we cant have it if he's staying for more than a week!

Call me lame but I wrote him a letter to clear this issue. Suppose its better to keep him from bringing this any further

So, no! NO EX-SEX.
