We Don't Talk Anymore by funshaw(f): 10:55pm On Dec 16, 2010
This happened between me and my boyfriend and another male friend (I'll call the male friend B). I've been with my BF for more than 6 yrs now, He resides in US while i'm in UK. we see eacother at least 3 to 4 times a year. Distance is not an issue though.

I recently got involved in series of arguements with my boyfriend like never before and i turned to the other male friend of mine here in Uk for advice because he too is in a commited relationship and a long distance relationship like mine, we met last year. Sometimes his advice will go against him and sometimes it favours my boyfriend, it may work sometimes and it may not atimes. So most times i'll tell my BF that i asked another guy about the issue and he adviced me on it. my BF is older than B like 3 years. Just because i talk alot about the B's advice whenever we argue, my Bf told me to stop talking to him about our arguments/differences or even any other third party and we can work things out ourselves, third party involvement/advice is bad blah bla blah.

I didnt argue with him and the following day I talk to B, he asked after my boyfriend (they bear thesame name), I told him we don't talk anymore (cos i believe thats the best way to handle it , so I can stop discussing our issue with B or any other person that know about us), so he believe I broke up with my BF and we dont talk anymore.

Meanwhile yesterday, I was talking to my BF on Skype when B called my cell phone, i told my BF to hold on for me while I talk to B.(I did this to let himm know i dont talk about him to B or 3rd party anymore) He heard our conversation and, dont want him to feel we were talking about him and i told him "you can see we don't talk about u and I told B you and I dont talk anymore". He was so upset that i actually told B we don't talk anymore and that i shld have handled it better and just dont talk about our argument/difference with him rather than saying that.

My question is this, did i handled it wrongly by telling him we don't talk, cos now he's upset (mainly disappointment at the way i handled the matter, saying that is imature of me. his point is that Not talking to 3rd party about us doesnt mean i shld tell the person we broke up) he said I need to tell the guy the truth that we still talk and for me I dont see any sense in telling him i still talk to my BF. The did has been done. Tell me if am actually wrong about this.

(This post might be a bit confusing/senseless, i wrote it in haste/sleepy trying to go to bed)

I get where your bf is coming from. Nobody likes their business being put out like that . . especially to some guy who's actually physically closer to his gf than he is.

Maybe he expected that you would stop talking about your relationship to B totally and make him understand that he needs to respect ur wish of not talking about ur affair.

By you telling B you broke up, your boyfriend may feel dissed.

what happens when B actually finds out you are still dating, wont you lose some respect that way . .since you lied to him?

I think it is better if B knows you still have a boyfriend . .and let him know you want to keep your relationship affair private.

Goodluck.

how would you feel, your boyfriend taking all your misunderstanding to his best female friend ? and making other decision from her advice onto your relationship?

wouldnt you feel that she has sort of made decision for you and your man   or that your man needs her to think over other things of your relationship

@ OP You made a grave yard miskake by telling  guyB  that you broke up with your bf~~ And no man wants third party to hear or discuss or by any means intrude into his affairs** That i hate with all passion**Even my parents*My brothers should not hear what transpire btw my babe and I not to talk of complete stranger** I beg you let  Guy B know that you and your lovely man are doing fine and always cut him off from any discussion arising from your relationship** take this advice if you want your relationship to succeed you need to have the mind of your own-the head of your own-and the brain of your own*  believe in your own judgement~ dont try to seek peoples opinion in your relationship they will never be correct and out of their own selfish  feelings they would mislead you~please seperate your friends from yur relationship they are not thesame thing *
Re: We Don't Talk Anymore by adaphik(f): 12:10am On Dec 17, 2010
If u were confiding in B, for a fellow male point of view over a situation, that may just be understandable. But telling B that u n ur boyfrnd 'no longer talk to each other' is highly unwarranted. Maybe I should ask, was that also for his own opinion? A long distance r/ship, is a fragile affair, so handle it as such.

@ ID my ex GF killed our relationship when i was still in 9ja~~We dated for  5 years every little thing she is gone to tell her mum~~ I called her I corrected her yet she refused to see any fault in her behaviour** Any disagreement she is gone to seek advice from her female girl friends that are even jeaulosy of her dating someone better than their own guy they would start to advise her in a way that they want the relationship to go** i dont blame third party i blame my girl that borrowed another ladies brain-head and common sence to take decisions that affect her life today she is regretting all that action ~~ A word is enough for the wise .

He actually didn't tell me to tell B we stopped talking, he only said i shld stop talking to himm about our arguments and stuff, and i think this is because i bring B advice up when we argue and tell him B said it. But I didnt mean anything bad, just thught thats the best way of handling the issue is telling B we didn't talk. He's still insisting I shld tell B we are still talking and fine. do i have to do that again though

to be clever only ask advice after an incident and use what might help your relationship but be wise dont tell him that someone told you how to sort out your problem just sort it out as if it is your own thinking
Re: We Don't Talk Anymore by Osama10(m): 12:53am On Dec 17, 2010
@ Poster its better you settle your problems with your BF and not involving a third party who is a MALE for that matter.

I don't think there is any man out there who would be comfortable with your story and action.
Re: We Don't Talk Anymore by MurphyG1(m): 12:54am On Dec 17, 2010
@ funshaw, I wanted to use a word 4 u but emm, (I changed my mind). But seriously I how old are u? Is this ur 1st relationship? I think so because of wht the way u are handling it, No man, I repeat, no man will want his GF to always tell another guy what transpires in his rship.

Now u dont hav to tell B that ur ended ur rship with ur guy. He cant force words out of ur mind if u dont want to tell him abt ur rship, can he?

Of course u have to let B knw that u are still in a rship with ur BF. That way u will be free when u are with him and ur BF calls u, Ok. Or dont u knw how to tell B that u still in the rship?

Thank u, I was going to ask d OP of her age too. Well in a nut shell, I think she should treat her r/ship as a private one. Delete B off ur private affair, abeg.

Re: We Don't Talk Anymore by 1honeybee: 2:53am On Dec 17, 2010
i'm sorry but y do u all assume the bf has never discussed his gf with his friend(s) before? does it occur to anyone dat gf is probably trying to get a man's point of view from guyB and the only mistake she has made is probably telling bf about mr adviser and d fact that she told him they dnt talk? how are u all sure she actually responded positively to d advise given anyway

POSTER
does she tell guyB everytin between you two or just wen she want a man's point of view on one or two tins?

By the way you were right, the post IS sensless
Re: We Don't Talk Anymore by baby4u2(f): 7:54am On Dec 17, 2010
@funshaw, I believe a problem you may have is just keeping quiet sometimes. Why in the world cant you just say my bf is fine when B wants to know how he is doing. Why did you have to lie that you and ur bf dont talk so that he wont ask you anything? I know you still hv a lot of growing up to do. If you really want ur relationship to last, heed this advice and this is not from B, even if you relate any info to anyone about ur man, dont use their names in a convo to him, say it like it came from you (your smart enough to come up with ur own advice too). Secondly, remember that when you forgive your bf others may not forget what he did that you forgave, stop denting his image. This will help you in ur marriage too, please please learn to talk less. Now to the problem on ground, go and apologize to your bf and if it will help you talk less minimize ur friendship with B. (Looks like his name alone may spoil ur relationship the way things are going)

Its not every post u see on forums you can respond to, ur reply is stupid and baseless. Do u have to reply when u've got notin to say? Or u're probably better than those that gave their sensible advice?  Go back to bed man. A poor little baby knows ur reply is tasteless and pointless. grow up

Is this kinda dumb or am i the only one getting this picture? You hav a boyfriend you hav only met 6 to 12 times in 6years and you are still there deceiving yourself worried about him getting mad from miles away. I tot Naija girls were wiser than this. Trust me you will soon discover after another 6yrs that he has been happily married or in a relationship with someone physical for all these years. You will b back on NL to tell d story of how bad men are 4 wasting your precious years! trust me we've heard it b4. As far as i know u guys are just online chat bodies. Believe it or vex. NONSENSE!!!

Methink your subconscious mind even fancies your friend. U might not realise that now but you will at this rate.

Well, if you say so,

Then that MR.B may also be her other backup boyfriend.Since she is closer to the MR.B than her bf.

And MR.B is also in a  long distance relationship too. So fair is fair.
