Hello everyone, I've been posting threads about problems with my ex, and it's like a phase arising every time something happens between us, and when the phase comes i post here, as a new problem arises. I'm confused and stressed.

I haven't talked to my ex for weeks now since the last friendship attempt (we've been trying to be friends on and off for the past year but it didn't work so i tried to move on), following the no contact rule so that I'll move on. We haven't talked for about two weeks? And that was a pretty long time.

I've been doing self-improvements and studying, having a hobby, and joining this lovely forum in the process. Last week he sent me a friend request on facebook and even left me a message saying he still cares and wants to be friends with me. I know it won't work, considering the 985656534763 friendship attempts we had, but this time he seemed really sincere about it.

I told him that I've got to move on and we can't be friends because we still have feelings for each other, (he's already found someone else btw, go figure) and I said I've been stuck in the past for too long and I didn't want to hurt him again, though i also said i also still care, and i appreciate his effort for friendship because things are always 1000% awkward between us.

I also told him that I've been ignoring him at school in order to move on and that sometimes i miss him terribly though. He says he misses me too, and he said why not use each other and talk to each other in order to move forward, since we've depended on each other for so long and can't stop thinking about each other, but we should try not to get emotionally attached. We agreed to trust each other and be close...and when he goes overseas to study, we'll still be friends. We also agreed to not have feelings for each other.

I know this sounds like a weird thing. What should I do? I still care for him, and he feels the same for me. Should I trust him? I don't want to be heartbroken again when he leaves, but i also don't want to hurt him again...

It's like. We agree to be friends, and at the same time try not to get emotionally attached, and then we try to be close friends and talk to each other as much as we can because we need to depend on each other, and at the same time we shouldn't have feelings for each other as we try to move forward. I MEAN, WHAT IS THIS? I MEAN WHAT IN HEAVEN'S SAKE SHOULD I DO WITH THIS GUY?

Just recently he was honest with me saying that I don't make the effort to talk when we agreed to. I was just trying not to get emotionally attached while trying to be friendly at the same time.I felt tired when he said that. i just......help, please? Anyone?
