Advice

Why you should let go of the "H" word

 
My ex-BF is nice to me, but I hate him! I told my BFF not to be friends with him and to choose between me and him. I don’t really know why I hate him. I have no legitimate reason, and I feel bad because I’ve said some mean things. But do I need a reason? Isn’t him being my ex enough? We have a class together, so we are forced to coexist. I HATE HIM!!! I can’t even look at him. No way can I be friends with him, so please don’t say I should try.


Dear Hate My Ex,

Look, you don’t have to be friends with him, but hating him? That’s harsh. Instead of using so much energy hating your ex, be civil to him and focus on people you like. As for telling your friend to choose, why should she? She can be friends with you and him, just as you are free to pick other friends. You will be happier if you become more easygoing instead of getting so knotted up about this. Besides, not all exes are worth writing off – especially if you pick nice guys in the first place.
