Am I overreacting?

Question

My gf broke up with me and now I’m sad. She wants to remain friends but at the moment, I just hate her. I miss her, but I’m just mad at her. She’s tired of me acting this way, but am I overreacting?

Answer

Years ago, my now husband and I broke up and he wanted to stay friends. I wanted to be friends because we broke up for reasons unrelated to our relationship. But I was so hurt and broken. I didn’t hate him right away, but over time I did. He would constantly call me and try to talk as friends. It made it worse for me. It was truly horrible. If you don’t want to be friends or need some time before being friends than tell her. If she can’t respect that then block her on everything and do your best to stay away (I know it’s hard, I felt like it was impossible). If that’s what you need she needs to respect that and not try to push you. It’ll only make it worse for you and guess what, now that you’re single you do not have to worry about anyone else but you. It doesn’t matter if you hurt her feelings. You get to decide what you want and what’s best for you. You’re not overreacting at all.
