I finally told him that i need space for a long time and that i can’t stay friends any longer because the attachment is getting much worse. how did it come to this? going no contact with a guy i never even dated. it’s been really hard for me to keep up the friendship when i still have an attachment to him. i would be waiting for his notification and if i don’t receive it i feel anxious. i wonder if i did the right thing. it hurts so much. i want to talk to him every day like we always are doing but it ends now. at least for now i hope. how is he okay with friendship after everything we did? was it all casual?

i think you did the right thing for yourself, even though it hurts like hell right now. i had to walk away from a friendship once because every conversation kept giving me hope, and staying “friends” was keeping me stuck.
do you think he genuinely saw everything between you as casual, or could friendship be his way of keeping you close without having to face what happened between you?
getting attached to someone i never officially dated and feeling almost ridiculous for how much it hurt. waiting for that notification, checking your phone, feeling your stomach drop when it doesn't come, that kind of attachment is REAL.
