Confuzzled Elise,

Definitely talk to him if you want to keep the friendship. You can't be friends if you don't even communicate. And if you wanted to work it out, you've got to talk first.

He Was Worried

I agree. He was afraid she would break up again.

Look, sometimes when one person in a relationship breaks up with the other, then the dumpee feels insecure later after they have gotten back together. So, maybe after a while he was worried that it wouldn't work out further down the road. Did he just break up with you out of the blue? Or were you arguing?

Have a Heart-to-Heart with Him

No talking anymore. She should give him space.

Just have a heart-to-heart with him. Approach it in a way that won't make him feel guilty or to blame. That's the last thing you want to do. It could hurt your future friendship, or any future with him at all.

Be understanding about his feelings and the reason he broke up with you. Don't let his reason anger you or make you feel bad. If you feel bad, it's not worth talking about.
