When we broke it off, I said goodbye. He said, "No, we'll be friends." He knows I'm not an advocate of being friends with my ex's. I told him I didn't bring that kind of baggage into our relationship and I don't plan on bringing it in to the next one. Anyway he's totally disregarded my attempts to cut him out of my life and says he refuses to disappear.
I tried to explain that it hurts me to talk to him because I still love him and I need time to get over it. He said, "that's dumb, we can still chat about a basketball game..." I feel myself giving in but think I may be doing myself a disservice.
I miss being able to call him up and tell him about my day. He was my best friend! But how do you move on if you fill that void with the person who left it?
I would really like to know people's take on how it works being friends with the ex.
