My Bestfriend

[beautiful13]

I have a male best friend and we been friends for a long time. Last summer we decided to take our friendship to the next level and started a relationship. We broke up and staye bf. But now its like our friendship is falling apart. We say we just friends but have sex. We have communication problems now. Its hard to talk to each other like we use to. The friendship is confusing. I would like to know what should i do?

I meant that I've dated a great guy friend before not that I've started now.  ha ha.  My husband might not like that . . .

Ugh.  I've started dating a great guy friend and it didn't work out.  It is really hard to go back to the way it was.  There are feelings involved that weren't there before and it is more complicated.  I agree that taking the sex out is essential to try to be friends again.  But when one of you starts dating someone else . . . it often brings up a lot of feelings.  One person probably liked the other one more and will feel hurt.  And the new people you date won't be thrilled about the close friendship because you've slept together.  Complicated.  Worth fighting for a good friendship though.  good luck

Remove the sex part from your relationship. Sex complicates everything and there is no way to just be friends when having sex and expect the friendship to last.
