I’ve tried no contact. my mind spirals and I can’t sit in the discomfort. If we’re both open to talking to each other, should we just talk? Is it possible to be friends. We still love each other, we just weren’t working together.

i tried being “just friends” right after my breakup because we still loved each other too, but every conversation kept reopening the wound for me. i kept hoping we’d somehow find our way back and it stopped me from actually healing
No contact is important for you if you really want to move on, otherwise you'll keep hurting yourself because what if someday they started talking to someone else while you are just friends? you won't have any right to question that they won't have any obligation to follow you...it's better to stay away from your ex and focus on your own life! build yourself from scratch, learn new things, understand yourself better, hit the gym, level up in your career...become unrecognisable in next 10 months and you'll then understand how much you have outgrown. right now it will hurt...but trust me it gets better with time
you can’t ever be friends with an ex, you will hurt yourself and it will take longer to heal.
every single conversation will lead to your breakup.
are you ready to advice your ex on his relationship with his new girl since y’all are friends.
perhaps heal first than and be friends.
I know the feeling of discomfort I’m going through it now, and it sucks… but I know one day I will laugh about it.
It depends on what you want, but for me, no contact is the healthiest option. If you become friends now while you still love him, and he gets over the relationship or finds a new partner, it will hurt you.
it’s hard to sit in the discomfort. i’ve tried to say my feelings and got met with being blocked. Seems mine just wasn’t open to talking. i think you should talk if you’re both open to doing so. it’s possible to be friends or at least friendly
