my ex and i were together for 4 years but we had been close friends for 11 before that. when we started dating we promised it wouldn’t ruin our friendship and that we’d always stay in each other’s lives. now he’s the one who ended it and i don’t even know where that leaves me.
he still wants to text every day like nothing changed but he doesn’t want to get back together. he says the relationship affected his mental health but at the same time he says he adores me as a friend and can’t imagine life without me in it.
towards the end things already felt off. he got distant stopped being physically affectionate even though he’d still compliment me. we argued and he’d say he was tired of me but the breakup still came out of nowhere over a text right after we had spent a full day together and everything seemed fine.
what hurts the most is i can’t imagine my life without him either. i miss him so much but at the same time i feel hurt that he could walk away so easily and move on. i just don’t know what i’m supposed to do now.

i get why you want to keep him in your life, but texting daily like nothing changed
he wants you as a friend because he truly values you, or because he doesn’t want to feel the loss of you?
i’ve been there with the best friend turned partner thing, and losing both at once hit way harder than i expected. they wanted to stay close too, and it just kept reopening the wound every day
