friends

my ex we were together 2 years wants to be friends and meet up occasionaly I am still in love with him, and our relationship finished in Nov by him, have met him twice since then it was difficult but was great to see him.Never asked him why he took astep back as he called it as I was too shocked and hurt.His wife had died of cancer only 4 months when I met him and he had 4 daughters ...all mature and married..he was very concerned about them because they were very close to their mother.He says he has 2 male friends and 2 female friends now...it was a good relationship we both agreed on that....feel I should wait on him but dont know for sure ........I may be wasting my time

hmmm hmmm and hmmmm hmmm
ever hear the song blanad YOUR MY FAVOURITE WASTE OF TIME???
if you find enjoyment in time then why see it as wasted??? but that been said, im going with the inkling hes looking for something abit more then friendship??? if he still has feelings for you maybe i'd risk it but if you think he has not then dont let him take advantage of you scold
NEVER, NEVER go back you cannot re-create what you once had, remain friends if you want but anything more will lead to greater heartache.
would like to ask him if he still hads feelings for me as I do for him.......but I am afraid of the answer...he hinted at getting married or living together when we were together..but I didnt encourage it as I thought he was on the rebound and was not thinking rationalyhelp he never did explain why he took a step back.........should I ask him now?he never told me he was so unhappy as he said we had a very good relationship....perhaps it was his daughters but I feel he ows me an explaination....thank you foe uir interest ..hope I can help you some time confused
It is so easy to make comment from afar and you have your own story and circumstances much like the vast majority of people on here.

Specifically he may have moved on as he has told you about other friends,and you say he also wants you and he to be friends. You are on here so that raises another question?

I'm wondering if he is still, or was, in grieving for the Mother of his children and possibly moved on too soon to make a heart-felt commitment to you, or, in fact to anyone.

Rather than second guessing all this I can't help feeling that to be fair to both of you and particularly yourself, you might be the one to start this much needed overdue discussion.. We all know that communication is just SO important along with trust and integrity.

You say in your profile you seek someone who is an open communicator! take the initiative yourself and broach the subject and sort it once and for all.Better than trying to move on but always wondering.

You have your own life to get on with and it is not desireable to be "stuck".

I would prefer this to come across as reflections rather than "advice" and as you say you still love him.

Can I suggest using your feminine intuition not just your heart in whatever ensues. Best wishes and good luck.
