Well, I found roommates that I will be living with in NYC when I move there in august. I wanted to know what people thought about this. My ex and I broke up a few months back but we are still the best of friends and still hang out. We have ended up sleeping together a few times and it was strange because it didn't affect our friendship at all. Well, We aren't back together because we decided that after six years together we needed a little space to grow up individually and see if it was really meant to be. We are both doing a very good job of that, and we are both graduating in May. In June, his mother decided that as a graduation present she was going to take my ex and his best friend (me) on the queen mary 2 cruise. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and when we have been together since we broke up or even when we hang out as just friends, it hasn't been wierd. But some people are telling me that I shouldn't even be friends with him. Why do people assume that they know what is best for me and that they know exactly why we broke up or how I feel about it and how he feels about it and how do I handle these reactions?
