Dear Sugar,
I dated this guy for about six months and we mutually decided to break things off. Before dating, we were amazing friends; we hung out all the time and have always been in the same circle of friends. We agreed to remain good friends after ending it because neither of us wanted to lose the friendship.

Dear Sugar,
Recently I read the post about telling your ex what he did wrong. My ex and I broke up a year ago. I have dated other people, but I am finding it very difficult to get over this relationship.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I dated for three years, and were fairly serious. We had a future mapped out and were practically planning our engagement. However, during those three years there were some major personality clashes I just couldn't ignore.

Even if ending a relationship is a relief, leaving a person or being left by someone can come with feelings of sadness and longing, which is probably why so many couples hook up after they’ve broken up. But there is a flipside to this: some people aren’t ready to let go of their bad feelings.
A friend of mine, in post-breakup mode, says every day is a battle not to call her ex.

After you broke up with your boyfriend you both kept in touch, and though you’re not close anymore, you’re still friendly. He recently started exclusively dating someone new who you actually know through a friend of a friend.
She’s a nice girl, and you have no hard feelings towards her, but you’re caught off-guard when you run into her and she immediately starts inquiring about your ex.

At a mutual friend’s going-away party, you encounter your ex and his new girlfriend, much to your surprise. Although you know the situation is invariably awkward, you decide to go out of your way to be friendly.
When standing with a group of friends, your ex comes up to introduce his girlfriend but conveniently skips over you — you can’t help but be offended.

When things ended with your ex a few months back, you were devastated. He was the one who wanted to break up because he said he was feeling uncertain about the future. Prior to his confession, things had been great, and you thought you might end up with him in the long run.

Dear Sugar,
I dated someone for almost three years until he started to feel less for me. We thought we solved it, but a week later we broke up. We continued to hook up afterwards, but it didn't take long for him to date someone else.

While I definitely have a penchant for curiosity, I also know when to draw the line. And when it comes to a budding relationship, many things are best left in the past. It’s true that meeting a new love's ex love may satisfy my prying mind, but in the end it only leaves me wanting more or feeling inadequate.

Even if you've never heard the word "fakeup," you've surely witnessed them or maybe even participated in one. Though the fakeup comes in many forms, it's most easily defined as a fake breakup or a breakup that doesn't take.
Some couples are repeat fakeup offenders — you know the people I'm talking about.
