I think you have been given stellar advice. Remaining friends with your ex gives you no closure. I know, I tried. In his mind it was over. I don't know what I was thinking remaining friends but it doesn't work. I hate to say it but you have to start the gut wrenching process of grieving the loss of that relationship. After almost 2 years I never really accepted it was over. He never called But to me it wasn't over. Now I do and the pain is awful. I just finished a letter to him letting him know what I thought about his treatment of me. I'm accepting it now. You need to as well. Staying friends is your denial that its over. Start your grieving...its a xxxxx. But keep posting. We'll help you get through it like Rose and others helped me.
