Relationship has ruined a friendship I really valued

  • Thread Starter

I was worried about dating a guy who I've known for years as I didn't want to wreck the connection we had. We were not really friends but we worked out together sometimes and he has taught me a lot in life. I had a crush on him and he asked me out. I didn't know whether to go ahead with it because I didn't want to ruin what we had, I mean I heard that most people said ex's can't be friends. I told him that basically I would rather stay friends. I would rather him of found another relationship and I just wanted to be his friend. So we were friends for a few weeks and then he said that it was time he backed off, after a chat I decided to go out with him. When going out with him I mentioned that the only problem with relationships is that they ruin friendships and he said that he still stayed in contact with some of his ex's so I was a little reassured.

Anyway, it turns out we are not very compatabal as a couple we both want different things. It's hard to let him go though only because he said that if we break up he wouldn't want to see me again.

That last bit just breaks my heart so I kind of feel trapped. I'm jelous of his male friends who can just be his friends, talk to him and see him now and again without having to have a relationship! I'm also jelous that the other people in my social group will get to talk to him and he will be closer to them as a friend than me because I will have the label 'ex'. I knew this would happen, just wanted advice.
