Losing a friend/ex boyfriend

Ok so here is the story. I have a new boyfriend. Yay!! I told all of my friends about it. Except I didnt tell my friend who is also my ex boyfriend. He found out from someone else. He got really upset that no one told him about me and this new guy. I...

felt/feel really bad about not telling him. So I talked to him about it and how me and him drifted apart and that we did have a really screwed up relationship. He is really hurt. Also I dont think that me and him are friends any more. Should I just let it go and forget about him? Or should I give him some time to get over the fact that I didnt tell him. I dont want to lose him as a friend and I dont know what to do. someone help please.

I would give him some time to get over it, but still try to talk to him. Not talking to him may make things worse for the both of you. Try to make him understand.

he was the one that broke it off. and I am going to stay with the current boyfriend but I would still like to have my ex as a friend because it was almost a year ago that we dated.

It doesnt matter if he is your friend/ex. You dont owe him anything. You are free to date, and do whatever you want. You dont need your ex's approval, and he doesnt need to know everything your doing. Let him be mad...remember, HES the one who broke up, so just get on with your life!
