Reading guys...

My ex boyfriend doesn't want to be my friend...he still likes me as more. He is making a big deal out of everything, and pretending he hates me. He says he doesn't want to lose me, but he won't be my friend. He says that we could never have a relationship again, but he still won't be my friend. He has even become somewhat suicidal since we broke up, and he hates his life. What is it all about? If you are a guy what would be an explanation for the way he is acting? Should I give up or keep trying?

Maybe he's thinking that he don't be able to find someone else... or maybe there are other things thats bugging him, you never know what's going on inside... not many guys like to share feelings/emotions...

Btw, "Should I give up or keep trying?" ... give up on what and trying to achieve what?? to get back together or just to be friends?? I would say give the guy some time and some space, chances are he'll sort things out himself... oh... if he is really suicidal he might need outside help tho... :S

Hello Browneyedgirl. It sounds like ur ex boyfriend is confused and probably needs time for introspection. Some time out i guess. But I have this really dark reason as to why he doesn't want to be ur friend, but it is a scary thought so i better not say. I wonder what triggered him to be so pessimistic about life, but whatever it is, for him, the pain is outweighing logic and reasoning. If i were you, i would try and talk to him or at least somehow indicate to him that i'm there if he ever needs me. If he is suicidal, he needs to talk about it, instead of keeping it all in. Trust me, I was suicidal not long ago to the point that i saw a psychologist. From the bottom of my heart, good luck to you and him and take care!!! 8)

I think he is angrily overreacting to the feeling of rejection. The fact that he hates his life is acting suicidal is a good indication that you did the right thing by breaking off the relationship. Certainly you weren't obligated to continue in the relationship so you should not feel guilty for the way he is acting now. It sounds like you have done all you can do and it has not helped him or you. I think you should leave him alone now unless/until his attitude changes.
