Thank you so much and really appreciate your help.
Hi Ameliaalwi
This doesnt have to be complicated if you trust what you are feeling in this situation, when a person wants to finish things it means that, you should allow yourself to move on from this situation allow yourself time and space to heal from that experience without him in your face, take in what you have learned from your boyfriend and about yourself from this experience or it will be complicated for you.
It doesnt work out when your ex expects you to be his best friend when he has just told you he wants to finish with you as a r/ship..... it is your choice but if you were honest to yourself with this situation would it suit you to be in his life as a best friend after having him as a boyfriend and be there for him as a best friend when he dates other girls and take out other girls? ...It wouldnt suit me to do that to myself or allow another to do that to me.
Where does that leave you?? not a good place to be in, another person cant expect you to be there for them as they want you to be after breaking up with you, your feelings matter too, you have every right to be with a person who does want you in their life as a r/ship if that is what you choose.
I think that is being very selfish of him to ask that of you, he cant have it both ways, if being a best friend means having a sexual r/ship and nothing else then that should ring bells as to what he really is about
I would be very careful, and i would be very honest to yourself about how you feel about his arrangement with you personally i think it sucks lemons.
Dont get caught up in any guilt of believing you have to be there for him, if the r/ship has ended then it has ended it means it has come as far as it is meant to and its time for both to move on , if one cant that is not your problem you have to do what you feel is right for you by trusting what you feel over what you think, your true feelings are your gut feelings so listen to what your gut is trying to tell you if it doesnt feel right then it isnt...speak your truth, stand in your truth honour your truth and live to your truth.
We are not here to be as another wants us to be , we are here to live our lives to how we need to be for ourselves as an individual and with a parnter if another wants to control us or expect us to be what they want us to be for them, then that is not a good healthy r/ship it is one of a one sided taking and not giving r/ship and we are the only ones who know what is right for us by trusting our feelings and what is wrong for us, so please trust what you feel you need to do for yourself i feel you have a good head on your shoulders and you will get past this and move on, there is more waiting up ahead for you that will be different so dont fear making any changes for yourself as they will bring you to what you are meant to have

and what you are deserving of, all r/ships teach us something about ourselves and others so we know what we want and what we dont want if we choose to learn some will some wont, some will go through life putting up with all sorts of treatment that isnt loving, healthy or right for them, because they believe they cant have anything else or wont find the right one...that isnt true we first need to learn the valuable lessons that r/ships teach us about our true selves and already i feel you know this doesnt suit you or would make you happy being a best friend to your ex boyfriend because it suits him to have you as he wants you and not allow you to be free and have your own life to live as you need to if he is in your face you wont allow yourself to meet others, go out and be yourself and i dont want you to do that to yourself he chose to break it off with you so that decision belongs to him and he has to deal with it and except that you are not responsible for how he carries on if you dont choose to be his best friend i feel he is immature in alot of ways insecure and controling and i dont feel he knows what he wants only when it suits him.
Get out there enjoy your life to the fullest meet new people make new friends, dont rush into another r/ship friendship first and please dont put your life on hold for your ex...its your choice.
I hope that has helped you in some way....jazz.
