Need Someone To Rant To

<div class="ExternalClass48B61274BB424071B7665000238C90E0">I kind of just need someone to rant to. My ex who I was on and off with called me a lot of rude names and has been disrespectful to me ever since I got a new boyfriend. My ex said we'd be friends who wouldn't fight and now he's calling me names and won't apologize. I don't want to make a big deal of it I just needed to blow off some steam. </div>

It can really help to talk to someone and blow off some steam when your feelings are hurt in this way. It sounds like you wanted to make things work with your ex-boyfriend as friends but that has been difficult for him since you got a new boyfriend. Sometimes when relationships end there can be feelings of resentment. It's possible that these feelings came up for your ex when he saw you moving on with your new boyfriend. Though it sounds as though you want to be friends with him, this may be difficult to do given the current situation.When conflicts occur, there are many possible solutions. You could have a discussion with him about your expectations if you are to continue to be friends. You could also weigh the pros and cons of staying friends with him to help yourself make a decision as to whether or not you would like to continue this relationship. Situations like this can bring up a lot of different emotions, so if you need someone to talk to about this you can always feel free to e-mail us or reach out through chat, text or on the hotline.Take care, Teresa - Crisis Counselor</div>
