Would you tell your friends you miss your ex or lie about it?

[gow311055]

I heard from a friend that my ex said she didn't miss me yet a month later when we broke no contact and texted she opened up to me about herself, tried to make me jealous by talking about other guys, and said she wanted to facetime me. A month after that she saw me in public, feeling better and for the next few months spammed her snapchat story.

 

 

 

Personally if my friend asked if i missed my ex i would say no even if i did. It's definitely out of pride and i was wondering if other people here does the same

I'm guessing you're a lot younger than my 46 years old....but....if I miss someone I would tell my friends that I did. If I didn't, I would tell them that, too. I would not play weird games in real life or on apps.

I've admitted to several friends there are two exes of mine I miss and will probably miss for the rest of my life.

Lying is never great. But out of pride, if I missed my EX I could see myself evading the Q.

Sure, why not. No pride is lost in missing someone. Missing is far far from wanting. Nor is it hurting. Actually when you can admit to missing your ex that's when you're actually over her.

I always thought that's what friends, at least the good ones, were there for? If I can't be honest with them about my feelings, seems I'm living an unnecessarily isolated and inauthentic life. While I wouldn't post those thoughts on social media, my friends get the real me...

Missing them and wanting them back is two different things. I wouldn't put out there to anyone who might blab that I missed them unless I was angling to get them back. Too confusing.

 

I think it's more or less universal that you will miss something about a person after you break up, or you'd never have been with them to begin with. That doesn't mean you want them back though.

being open and honest with friends is important. Youll find out one day, as I have recently, that your true friends will be there during your darkest times.
