do you stay as friends after the breakup

Author

a day ago when i texted him to get clarity, he said stuff like “the chemistry isn’t the same anymore” and we could still be there for each other if we stay as friends because right now he doesn’t see us as compatible partners. did i do the right thing by rejecting him that i can’t be friends with someone i dated because it’ll hurt even more? as much as i want to keep staying with him, i don’t want to imagine seeing him with someone new and supporting him as a “friend”

how long have you given yourself space since the breakup? sometimes distance makes it easier to see what’s right for you

2 weeks max because he broke no contact too early

You cant never ever be friends again with the person that broke your heart!
be proud of urself what you did.

saying no to friendship doesn’t make you selfish. protecting your heart is okay. you’re allowed to set boundaries even if it stings.

i tried staying friends once and it destroyed me. cutting contact hurt like hell but honestly saved me so much pain
