Is it ok to still want to be friends with my guy friend I had a situationship with?

So I’ve known this guy for like 4 years and we have a mutual friend group but we only got closer as friends like 2 years ago. Shortly after we got closer we started to talk one on one and hangout a lot more just us. We started to like each other and we slowly became like cuddle buddies/friends with benefits like I don't know how to word it bc we didn’t f*ck but we started to be physical like upper body touching and cuddling is all we did like no kissing or anything down there. But like we stopped it bc we didn’t see what we have to be working out the way we wanted. He wanted to be with and talk to multiple girls. I didn’t like that or want that but for some reason I still like him.. maybe bc he has that bad side and that’s what I’m comfortably drawn to.. but we decided at the end of August we’d break ties like not see each other anymore but I made that decision when I was on my period and my emotions were confusing to tell what I really wanted to I kind of impulsively chose. my older brother thinks I did the right thing but like he doesn’t know him like I do. My friend genuinely cared about me and always protected me and if I’d go m. I. a bc I have depression and he knows he’d go high ropes to make sure I’m ok. Always. so is it so wrong to still want to be friends with him?

Why? It’s just gonna cause issues with your future BFs.


I divorced my ex wife because she could not stop herself from calling her college ex who treated her like garbage. I mean, I hope it was worth it.


I’d forget your ex and try to wipe him out of your life to make room for someone you want to have a serious relationship with.


If you show up to your next relationship with your ex situation in tow, it’s gonna be ugly and it’s probably not gonna work

He was never my ex though like we never dated officially we just had something more than just a friendship but not quite a relationship

Yes I think so, but you will probably have to establish some boundaries. And no more cuddling or touching, lol.

its hard to let go of those you've been with for a while. especially if you still have feelings lol so its normal
