Friendship with my ex

[Glinda31]

Can anyone shed some wise words on this?

I'd been dating my ex for about 18 months and it'd gotten to a point where we were still like best friends. I was / am still very much in love with him and thought we could carry on but we decided it wouldnt work if the romance wasn't there. I was heart broken and it's been a difficult 6 months trying to get my head around it.
He now has a new girlfriend, but we still talk every day. I've never had this before. Any other exes have split and gone away. He just hasnt and although i want him in my life i just don't know how healthy it is!

It’s not healthy. He’s with someone else so it would be better for you to make some space between you so you can move on.

You can’t heal if you’re having this much contact with him.

It’s not healthy. You can’t heal like this. He’s seeing someone else, you aren’t girlfriend any more.

Take a complete break for 6 months to a year, then you may opt to be friends, or just move on.

It's not healthy and it's not fair on anyone, including the new girlfriend.

Thanks guys. You know when you kinda of know, but it just feels like such a hard thing to do. xxx
