How to get over a long distance mutual break up?

leiaamidala
I just broke up with my long distance ex yesterday. He mostly fell out of love with me because of another girl (no real cheating, just emotional cheating. and some feelings for me are still there. I still have feelings for him too) and after some thought he realized it was a long time coming. I had a good, deep thought session myself and also realized that our breakup had been a long time coming, and we were just holding on to a dying thing in vain. We Skyped, and were very calm and even laughed some and we are very open to being friends and even maybe trying to be together again someday if we think we can. We are both actually very, VERY relieved we broke up because we had both been under a lot of stress from our relationship lately.

We're going to have a short time of no contact and then try to be friends, because we are sure that we are just better friends than in a relationship.

However, whenever I think about him with that other girl and him falling out of love with me, I get so angry and sad. How can I deal with this problem? And can I have some extra tips from the community on how to get over him some? Like, how long to have no contact, etc? Because I definitely want to be friends with him again. Thanks a lot :)
