Ask Andrew
Staff Writer
Dear Andrew,
I was in a relationship with a person for two years. It was emotionally draining, to say the least. We lived
together for most of that time and spent all of our free time together. We argued constantly over many issues,
but at the end of the day, we were still best friends. I broke it off about a month ago and even though I have
moved out of his place, there are still some loose ends. My ex still thinks we are together, but I have made it
clear that I need to be alone. I care for him and my love for him has evolved into more of a platonic friendship,
but he still thinks of me and loves me as a girlfriend. I feel like I have been clear about my intentions, but he
still doesn’t get it. I have tried to let him down easy, but I am afraid that I may have to be harsher and I really
don’t want to be. I respect him and love him, but I know that we aren’t right for one another.
What can I do to show that I am over the romantic relationship without compromising the friendship?
Signed,
Caring for Clueless
Dear Caring,
You have to risk something to gain something. You may lose it, but do you really want a friend who thinks
he is dating you? If you put your friendship on the line now, you could end up strengthening it.
If you have confidence that everything short of being harsh has been tried to help him get the message,
it is time to take it up a notch. When someone does not pick up on a subtle message, it usually means that
there is an unwillingness to accept the situation as it is or that your signals have not been received. Either
way, it is time to get more to the point.
While your relationship sounds healthy, your communication does not. If he still thinks of you as a girlfriend,
it’s time to break off completely for some amount of time.
You may believe that you have been clear, but resist the urge to assume anything. State your case in plain
and forceful terms. If you feel the need to say that being friends is still possible, do so, but be careful to leave
a sign on the door to friendship rather than leave it open. If he wants to be just friends, he will come around
after some time disconnected from you. You can respect and love someone all you want, but if they fail to
respect or love you, there is nothing you can do to fix that.
Clean up your “loose ends” as quickly as possible. You must either completely redefine or restart the
relationship as friends in order to avoid the awkwardness and residual feeling that you are experiencing now.
You mentioned that you are no longer living with him, but if you are still living in the area, it may be harder
to not see or talk to him for a while. Nevertheless, a complete break appears to be necessary, at least for a
time. Otherwise, the issue will continue to persist.
