"[color=#1C2837][size=2]Also, should I have mentioned the main reason for break-up was religious view ..."

[color=#1C2837][size=2]Should've mentioned that, yes, and while it's silly, it's a common compatibility issue.

[color=#1C2837][size=2]Don't know what "unrealistic views" is either...
[color=#1C2837][size=2]

[color=#1C2837][size=2]Normally I'd just cut the person off 100% and if I were in your spot, when she tries to talk again I would just say "I'd rather not continue this" or something to that effect. But I'm not there. So... I dunno.

This is easier said than done, depending on the length of the relationship. Although he was with her for a couple of months, a lot could happen in those couple of months, especially since the first few months are the infatuation stage. We can all give advice to him, but ultimately its his decision. And what matters is how he feels. I just want to point out that, unless she is really religious, it might have been a just an excuse. And btw, the "I love you" part came not from her, but from her religion.

OH by "unrealistic views" I meant by reestablishing or friendship. She thought she could just show up and start over like we've been the "greatest friends ever" and nothing happened.

And the reason I didn't specifically point out the religious involvement is because the main point of this thread was to "learn how to not care"/get over it. The exact specifications, I felt, didn't need to be laid out on the table. I respect her religious views and I hoped she'd respect mine. Basically, we're both Christian. Though I'm not a church go-er. I figure being a decent human being and living my life is about as anyone needs to go as far as "spirituality goes". She is a church go-er and is somewhat "hardcore" with some beliefs. At the beginning this wasn't a problem, but then she went to some one-week camp and told me "she knows His will for her" and sent me that email the day she returned.

So now you know exact specifications.

That's one way to cope with it, but i think 100% cut-off is a little bit over the top. Depending on the circumstances and how civilised the break-up was, sometimes it's worthwhile to continue a friendship of some sort. Even though things didn't work out, you still walk away with some positive aspects from the relationship. Good times has to count for something (I'm talking about more than just screwing).

From a practical perspective, making amends is especially useful if the ex shares the same circle of friends as you are. Being friends, both of you can avoid awkward social situations when you invited by friends to a function.

I have a mate who broke up with his ex in a rather ugly way. I and others are still friends with both of them. However, because they took the 100% cut-off path, suddenly everyone has to act as a go-between, or plan functions to suit them both, or to avoid having them in one place. It pisses everyone off, it's totally childish, and ruins the fun for everyone else who is attending. We are talking about supposedly mature adults here.
