One year after our EA ended, we haven't seen each other but still communicate via occasional email. We are trying to be friends but when I make an effort to see him in person he rejects these advances (he always puts off the meeting rather than saying no). I think we're both having a hard time cutting the line of communication once and for all. But I feel like maybe we could pick up our friendship again, slowly but surely.  We both said we wanted to remain friends and recognized that it would take time, distance and work. But at the same time I keep wondering if it's always going to be too painful for us, and if we should just turn our backs to the idea of friendship. I don't know. We were such good friends. Nothing got too funky between us, but we did develop feelings of attraction and obviously something a little deeper, otherwise I can't account for the pain. I guess I'm in denial. I wish there was someone out there who would tell me they'd managed to stay friends with their EA partner. Or am I just holding on to false hope and not willing to face saying goodbye when really that's what I should be doing. As you say, I guess reality has to take control at some point. Just having a hard time with this as I've never had to cut off a friend..... [/quote]

Just like whether ex can remain friends, this depends on many factors. Who ended the EA? Did he feel hurt when the EA ended? Does he feel that you are too much a threat to his marriage? Do you live close enough to each other?

It could also be a problem with the way you communicate. Women tend to assume that a guy can read a subtle message, but in reality most guys cannot read it. Be clear in your message and be persistent.
