Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
It seems that he still has a bit of place in your heart, which is confusing you in making an obvious firm decision in this matter.
My honest opinion is to totally ignore him, even then if he keep insisting then warn him that you would call the police if he ever called you again. Why ? Because any communication with him in present would be very dangerous for your future relationship, incase you decided to marry anyone.
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
If I ignored him for two weeks or more, I dont believe he will try to contact me anymore. So I am not concerned about that.
Yes, I do have some feelings for him still which is why I prefer to cut off contact. But then theres the other side of me that thinks, well, he wants to remain friends so why not? Remaining friends is one thing, but messaging me that he misses me is what I find strange. Although I am not saying I will remain friends.
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
Fraudia, its interesting you say that because he told me once that if I ever call it off, that is it, he will never speak to me again.
Ask, yeah I dont want any pressure and I feel after a few weeks he will come to some realization himself. Perphaps its difficult for him since he hasnt done this before, I dont know.
Cheegum, if I am the one calling it off, which I have in the past, I dont mind remaining friends with the person. Unless I see that they are trying to get back together with me which will only hurt them more in the long run.
It seems to me that he is potraying himself asa victim...U know as he hasnt done it before etc...please dont let him make u feel obligated to "rescue"..him as it can get alluring...be honest with ourself..I know u feel really hurt that he rejected you and you are hoping that he may come back just to soothe your feelings of hurt...but if you isolate that ...do you really think that you would be happy with someone who doesnt or cant make up his mind if he "wants you or not",,think about the situations when the choice he makes can really make or break you later in the relaionship.Its better that you think the things thru and come to a conclusion irrelavant to the fact of his "wanting" you or not.What is it that** YOU** want..not anybody else.
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
Ask, actually I am not desiring that he comes back. He has said its over and I take his word for it. Allah does what is best, and I honestly feel that way.
I'm just trying to decide if I should honor his request for friendship or not, for his sake, not my own. I can continue ignoring his messages as I have been doing.
I've been through quite a few rishtas by now that I dont take too long getting over such things anymore. I've just never had a rishta say no to me and then ask to remain friends and message me that they miss me.
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
Why carry along with you a spark which can anytime light fire in your future house. If he MISSES you than it means that he has FEELINGS for you which can anytime become so intense that it might also increase the presently minor feelings INSIDE you (for him) at anytime in future when you are married to someone else. THAT would become a very difficult time for you. It would be better to select one boat instead of placing one foot on one boat and another foot on another, in that case the maximum chances are that you might fall in between the two boats.
The following confusions (contradictory statements) could prove very bad for you and your future husband.

Munnii please be strong and hang in there, ignore him coz theres no point being ‘jus’ frends…the woman in us always tries t ofind the Mr. Right and to settle with him…
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
Kindly also keep in mind that it might not be a good feeling for your future husband to know that you still consider someone as friend with whom your rishta was previously broken. Though it might not always happen, but devil does get a fair chance of puting suspecions in innocent people's mind no matter how positive they want to think. (in such cases)
Why even let a new husband face such a situation. You would be telling him that it is all over with the previous person yet you would be telling him that he is now just a friend to you !?!?
Edited:Now I understand, I hadn't read your last post before writing this.

Beleive it or not, I have exlained this entire thing to the person. He said he understood. Which results in the current confusion.
I think I will just continue to read what he writes but I wont respond at this time.
Perhaps the messages will go away after some time.
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
Now I am confused. Previously you said that you never responded to his series of messages, now you say that you have explained the whole situation to him, but he doesn't understands.
Kindly forgive me if I misunderstood. Is it that you previously explained to him the whole matter and presently you are not responding to his messages ?!?

Yes, I explained this to him previously when he called it off and he said that he understood.
Since then he has been emailing me and msging me, but I have not responded.
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
My humble opinion (which might be wrong) is that kindly don't even read his messages. Having spent sometime with you he might know which things you are sensitive to, and at any stage due to extreme emotions / frustration he might write anything which you might find disturbing / hurting. Secondly it won't distract your attention from your other activities in life. At times when we read about anything from time to time, it does engage a part of our mind in thinking over it, which might affect it's efficiency. Also reading them might make it a bit difficult for you to immediately give up the feelings you already have for him.
A quote I once read helps alot for anyone who faces such situations in life.
" Though the heart might weep at times for what it has lost, the soul shall always smile for what it has found"
Re: Would you stay friends with your broken rishta?
dear Muni,
it will nice to be of contact to know that he is doing fine.
for he violated your respect and worse, wanted to appear all self justified in doing so, it is a moral test for you to let him realize his moral test on his own.
but, make sure that he is not cheating on his wife, who he cheated when he left you for her for what ever reason.
men are very insecure creatures in themselves.
women are indeed their necessity, be it even TEMPORARY when they reflect their vulnerabilities as if you are the only one they want to be with - even though their FALSE lies fall flat on their faces - but please know that women are never important to men.
so, you just improve them and leave them to their devices.
it will be a surprise to see someone like that come to uplift his guilty inner self and then fully absorb the shock of having disregarded your honesty and care that you would have otherwise accorded him.
best,
Dushwari
My rishta ended things recently but he wants to remain friends with me. I cant understand why.
I dont prefer to stay friends with him but he messages me sometimes that he misses me and stuff. I dont respond when he messages me such things.
