(queer female relationship) we were best friends first and then fell in love and started dating for a year before breaking up due to me moving and her not wanting to do long distance and also some other contributing factors that made it hard to commit to each other in a romantic way. She is avoidant and wants us to be friends right after breaking up. Is this possible? Conflicted between temporarily doing no-contact or just limiting how much we talk.

when she says she wants to stay friends, does she respect your boundaries? figuring that out might help you decide between no-contact or limited chat.
i found that limiting contact at first helps so much. you can slowly reconnect as friends later once the wounds aren’t raw.
i’ve been there 😔 me and my ex were best friends first too. after we broke up, trying to stay friends felt impossible at first. i had to go full no-contact for a while to heal.
