The "I Still Want to be Friends" Issue

[Fightingforher]

SunnyD,

I'm at a cross road myself with this "friends" dilemma. My W and I still live together but in different rooms until some things pan out. She has started dating while living together and it's been hard for me to deal with. She continues to ask why we can't get along and become friends again.

After reading Puppy's post it made me realize that I have motives behind me being nice to W at times. I guess I still hold a flame for her in my heart and I have this fantasy that she is going to come out of the fog and realize she's made horrible mistakes.

The reality is she is looking to move on without me and has no interest in the R. Because we have a child together there will be a point in time when I can be friends with her. Like Gucci said I hope the WAS be able to friends with us when we are ready to start dating.
