Dear Queenie,
When my girlfriend and I were together we promised each other we would still be friends if we ever broke up, but after we did break up a few months ago she doesn’t want anything to do with me. She doesn’t answer my calls and when I sent her an e-mail she replied, “Please leave me alone.”
Queenie, what happened to still being friends?—Totally rejected
Dear Rejected,
I may depend on the reason for your breakup.
If it was because the two of you had drifted apart, she may still be trying to get over the pain of the breakup.
On the other hand, if you broke up in anger over something one of you had done, she may still be angry at you.
Either way, have the courtesy to respect her wishes.
