i am starting to realize that with my ex nothing is going to get her back and that i may have to live with never getting another chance to be with her. in my heart i need her in my life because she is my best friend and i still love her. how do you become just a friend with an ex, i know it is hard but i am trying to find the strength but i dont see how i ever could. some people say that i can never be her friend but i just dont know anymore. sorry im not more descriptive ive just had a bad day and very emotionally tired, ill type some more later and be a little more coherent.

I strongly suspect that right now you're not really that interested in just being her friend, are you?

 

As long as your primary desire regarding her is to get back together I don't think it's possible that you ever can be friends. How many other "friends" do you have that you would marry & move in with tomorrow? Not many I'd 'reckon.

 

The day will come when your feelings for her will have changed & suddenly you'll be able to relate to her as a friend - but it takes time.

just hang out with the person like you would with any other friend. Problem of course is doing that is so hard because there is a history that both people remember and will usually act cautiously because of it.

 

Note that it is almost impossible to hang as just friends if you have feelings for the person.
