a close guy friend/suitor asked this question and without thinking i replied, 'i have no reason of hating him.' he got pretty annoyed. did i say something wrong? was my answer offensive? what do you guys think?

Not anymore but still consider him as friend!Because for me when someone loves, that includes care and communication! and I'm not doing that anymore, I don't hate him but I just want him to enjoy his own life as I am most happy in my life!

had i think it through, i think i would be saying what you just posted. '...not anymore...but i don't hate though...' maybe this would probably created a better reaction from him

you're a tough chick, huh? hehe, well said. you sounded like my angry sister. but her line goes like this, '...it's their loss, not mine...' her statement is long, i just can't remember every word XD

hi meiji15. your answer was fine with me. youre just being honest with your suitor. if he cant accept that fact then you should think about answering him. as for me, i had 3 boyfriends already and even though i am not "inlove" anymore with them, i love them. love for someone who had been a part of your life. i see nothing wrong with that. care for someone who once loved and cared for you. even though i didnt end up with any of them, i dont hate them and i wish they found the happiness they were looking for. thanks

hey there. you know, i'm glad that you do not wish evil to befall on your ex's. more often than not, if you had closure on past relationships, same can lead into a beautiful friendship (kinda corny and cheesy) but it really does lead to that. having shared a part of life with them is (for me) reason enough to thank them and make them your friends. the mushy kind of love may not exist, but the friendship does.

I don't see no reason that your answer was offensive. In the first place, you were just telling the truth. He shouldn't act like that coz, he was only a suitor and not yet your boyfriend.

my case it is girlfriend and i would say hell no, lol, we grew apart while together and there is absolutely no love anymore, that was like 8 or 9 years ago, haven't seen them in like 6 years so can't say i am even friends with her, i guess if i saw her now that is water under the bridge and no reason why we couldn't have a friendship now i guess

well, i'm friends with my ex. both of us already moved on. each having our own 'romances' but we still keep in touch. you two grew apart, in my case, it is a mutual decision to severe the relationship for typical reasons like 'we need space,' 'we have too little time to spend together' and whatnot. actually, we were laughing (relieving memories) when we opted to go our own paths. maybe that's the reason why we're friends

how can you say something wrong, if you were being honest? If he a just a close friend and he is getting upset about what you said, it doesnt really make sense, does he want something more? Im not in love with my first bf... i certinly dont hate him either. I am in a relationship now, however i wouldnt say he is the love of my life. I dont think your answer was offense, it doesnt sound like it was mean to be, or that it was directed at him.

Sometimes relationships don't work out, and it's not because we fell out of love, but maybe we just weren't right for one another for some reason. I don't think your answer was wrong, but maybe your new boyfriend is a little insecure if he even has to ask....

that's the thing that kinda ticked me off, he has yet to be my boy friend, he's just a guy friend--no commitment. yet he acts like like we're together.

Well I guess that is the best honest answer you gould give to him then stick to it. Maybe he is just looking for an explanation on your very short answer why is it that you answered that short. Well I guess its the right answer there is no reason for hating him. You just need to explain it.

well, with the reaction in his face i felt that if i say anything, i'd be digging a deeper grave. but with the way he's acting, i don't think we'll go far...

I don't think there's anything wrong with what you said, but he might feel threatened by it. You should have said you don't hate your ex, you're just no longer in love with him. I, personally, am still very much in love with my first.

I think he misinterpreted your answer. he must have equate loving with loving in the sense t that you want him back. For some guys that is offensive becausE they are thinking that you are outrightly saying you don't like/love them. I believe that what you just meant was you don't have any negative feEling to ur 1st bf right? I guess if he ask you again, you have to clear just up & everything will be fine. =)

it's pretty obvious that he is jealous, because he is courting you..he may think that all that he's doing may be nonsense because you still love your ex.
