It's a tough situation to be in. Although the 'romantic' relationship dwindled, you were still inseparable. It's truly the equivalent of a committed relationship, without the commitment, if that makes sense? Of course, you'd placed yourself in the mindset that it wasn't permanent, yet, all the talks, cuddling on the couch watching movies, etc. still existed.

Although, you've been technically available, in reality you've been unavailable because a 'best friendship' of that magnitude doesn't leave time nor energy. And also, without space between, healing and growth from separating is a slow process, if not a backpedal.
