(((((Ali))))) I think he needs to go through being a friend again, before he is a BF. Do you understand what I mean? You want him now, I know that. But, this could take many more months. It probably will, and even then, we don't know the outcome. You are right, some of us are still in the same house, or have kids. And that does make things different. But it doesn't mean that you won't have a special relationship with him.
