do you feel like she could ever show up as that friend again without you feeling second place… or would it always sting a bit now?

Its so sad but being friends after a breakup is impossible (And believe me I tried).
The emotions are still so raw, and you dont really see him as a friend. You will never be able to truly move on if he is your friend, and so is he.
I do think that its always worth a shot to try and work on things before giving up completely, but definitely not staying friends.

sometimes the “friendship” after a breakup is just the old bond pretending to still exist.

when me and my ex ended, it wasn’t just losing the relationship, it was losing the one person who knew every stupid detail about my day. i kept craving the “best friend version” too, even when i knew it’d hurt like hell later. it’s such a weird grieving.
