Relationships are tricky things.
Your friends probably hate to see you in that emotional tug-of-war.
But you still have to tell them.
The reasoning here is simple.
One: You shouldnt have lies between you and your friends.
Its just not good for the relationship.
Two: They will find out anyway.
Do they have your location on Find My Friends or Snapchat?
Do you and your reunited beau go out to bars your friends might spot you at?
No one wins here.
How many times can they listen to the same old story?
Well, the better question might be how many timesyoucan relive the same old story.
Do not lie to yourself
Do your friends have a point?
Does the person youre getting back together with hurt you often?
Do you get into a lot of fights?
You cant lie to your friends, but you cant lie to yourself either.
Dont let the uncomfortableness of the situation tear you apart from your friends.
Remember they have your best interests at heart and they love you.
Any resistance your reunion is rooted in that.
For one, waiting too long gives them time to discover what youre up to on their own.
Secondly, you should just get this over with.
A group chat is a great way to go about this.
In the group chat, topics move faster.
you might also tell your friends one-on-one if you dont have a cohesive friend group.
Texting is still preferable.
Youre being a mature person by telling them, but you dont owe them a whole in-person show.
Im going to be safe, but wanted to let you know whats going on!
Eventually shift the conversation back to their love life.
Dont let the topic stay on you and your relationship too long; thats just uncomfortable.
Ask the other person, Hey, speaking ofwhat happened with that date you had last week?
