Grass is Greener Problem!! but still hang like 2gether! Need becoming Friends

[BomBuns]

On thursday me and my boyfriend of 2yrs and 6 months broke up. We talked about being friends because we were so close and that it would be stressful on the both of us to try and hold a boyfriend girlfriend relationship while I'm going to GaTech and he goes to UGA. After talking about it and breaking up that day we hung out a while afterwards and felt almost more comfortable around each other than before; both of talking about how college would be more fun as friends and we'll be able to experience new things and people without feeling the need to have to kindle a boyfriend girlfriend relationship.

 

So the next day we both wanted to hangout with each other to start our relationship as friends. And the day went fine until later on that night when we watched a movie and we wound up having sex. Xp Afterwards we talked about being friends with benefits and both agreed that that would be a even better idea.

 

Well the next day we didnt hangout and I had time to think about our new agreement and realized I would rather be a respectable friend and that possibly both me and him got lost in the moment with that conversation in an attempt to ease the pain of our break up.

 

So today we hung out and things were awkward because we still kissed hugged and held hands like we were together. I couldn't bring myself to tell him I just wanted to be platonic friends because I guess I'm still holding on to what we both had. But later on tonight we are meeting up again and I need guidance and suggestions on how I want to be friends and not this weird in between.

 

So can you guys help me? I think it sounds like we both have a bit of G.I.G syndrome but that we still have this want to stay with each other. I need help with making myself sooo clear that we need to be friends!

You will figure this out... one of you will self destruct the friends when you can't take it anymore and move on to college fun life

Umm going from a couple to friends overnight has never worked, like ever. It won't work now either. Sounds like you aren't willing to go No Contact though so you'll have to wait and find it out for yourself I guess You are doing yourself a major disservice though by remaining in his life as friends....easiest way to test if you are ready to be friends? If he calls you gushing about this new amazing girl he met and likes, will you be happy for him or will you feel like s.hit? Until you'll either be happy or feel NOTHING, then you can't be friends.
