My boyfriend dumped me a couple of days ago and I've been feeling pretty down about it all. What hurt me the most was the fact that he couldn't say it to my face and had to get one of my friends to tell me. Then he starts crying as if it's my fault. He was the one who dumped me, not the other way round! As you can probably tell, I'm pretty angry but I still want to be friends with him. Every time I try to talk to him he either ignored me or I get a one word answer. We have to see each other every day because we get the same bus too. I basically need some way of making myself feel a bit happier- any advice?

This sounds like a tough situation and I'm sure that it's difficult for both of you, and I'm glad that you're being the bigger person and trying to keep things civil. It sounds like he might just need some space for a few days, and if he keeps ignoring you maybe just confront him about it. It's great that you're trying to stay friends with him, but if he's consistently making you annoyed or unhappy, it may be better to distance yourself from him.

Over time, I'm sure that you guys will be able to be friends again, it's just a matter of how long it will be before you both forget about the anger and upset that the breakup caused. Do things that make you happy, hang out with your friends and generally try and stay positive. I'm sure he'll start talking to you normally again, he may just need some time.
