Honestly, you really haven’t even given yourself a chance to get over him. Being friends with him might be ok eventually, but right after a break-up I think you just need some distance, friends or not, because suddenly being his “friend” is just going to be too painful right now. In your case, he is still getting all the advantages of having you as a gf anyway, since you would become romantic with each other again… so yeah, it’s like you’re torturing your emotions this way, and yet he seems to have his cake and eat it too. You’re available to him if he wants you. Honestly I feel he’s taking advantage of you now, and this is only going to hurt you more and more emotionally. It’s not fair to you. I think you need to distance yourself and allow time to get over this, and stop being his fall-back person to be romantic with. There’s no way to say how long it takes for someone to get over a break-up… it all depends… but this way is only causing more emotional pain for you, I think, because you haven’t really broken the ties.

Hun, the thing you have to consider is.. how much does he harm you and to what extend are you feeling good about the situation… It is soo hard to live through a break up especially if both dont wanna let go… but think about it - if possible dont even talk to him.. it sounds soooo hard but it will work, the less you have to do with him the faster it goes over… you need something more mature than that.. your life should go on while his might not but thats not your concern anymore though its hard to believe.. move on… in the toughest cases, and Im talking as an A student in Biology here, hormones go back to normal after a year latest, doesnt matter if your dog or your grandma died or you lost your favourite shirt… or boyfriend…
hope this helped a little :)

dont be dump, i bet he expects you to be dump and thats why he is doing it? Just think one thing (ITS OVER) face that feeling you RE AFRAID OF AND IT WILL GET BETTER. gURANTEED

I am in a very similar situation, i have just broken up with a guy who i am in love with and i feel like my heart is braking yet he cannot understand and his life just goes on. I don’t really know what to suggest, although i think what they say is right and i am going to try it, stop being friends for the time being its too soon, maybe one day you will be able to be just friends and be comfortable with that. My guy says we can be just friends for the time being, i have tried but its too hard for me so i have told him that if we cant be what we used to then i dont even want to be friends because its too painful and i just want more. keep in touch

Im going through a simlar situation. You’re still in love with him and he’s not in love with you. For now, being friends with him for you is **** near impossible necause you’ll be holding on on to a glipper of hope. I was BEST FRIENDS for a year with my x until life circumstances forced us to split. I tried the going back to friends thing but it was way to painful. It’s been 5 months and we’ve texted like 3x. It’s still painful even after all this time. VERY PAINFUL. I wasn’t even invited to her graduation last saturday. 8 years of school, biggest day of her life, and i didint even know the date, i heard it from a friend. But, it’s better that way. I havent healed yet…..
