would you stay friends with an ex when you love them more than anything but they only love and view you as a friend? I can’t imagine not talking to them. I don’t know what the right answer is. I have two choices be friends or not be in their life

no, i’ve tried to do this and it just hurt watching him get into a relationship, personally i recommend just trying to cut contact and move on separately

No. I’m only “friends” (more like social media acquaintances lol) with one of my exes but he came out as gay after we broke up and we were never sexually intimate. My first serious serious relationship we cut off completely and I have no clue what he’s up to and don’t care what he’s up to.

Hey so if you're considering this, don't. Its hard to just be friends with someone you loved or do love still. You're only hurting yourself 10 times more especially, like others mentioned, they move on. The best thing you can do right now is heal and get to a place where one day you can be friends and it actually work out

If the breakup is fresh (like one year out) it’s understandable to not imagine a life without him but after the 2+ year mark you really stop thinking about what theyre up to. He’ll come up in passing in my mind in a “huh I wonder what he’s doing now” way but not in a “I need to know what he’s doing”/“I need know if he’s happy now”
