breakup with boyfriend: what should I do?
So... i broke up with my ex a week ago, and all the emotions hit me at the end of the day (We're both in high school) so there of course were people started drama and words got mixed up and we argued. We were dating for 4 months and a few weeks, and i asked all my other friends what i should do(They all said the same thing)-Give yourself and him some space for a while... well my ex wanted to know why I felt that we needed to part and i told him that i had lost feelings and that it would be fair to the both of us to not continue the relationship because at that point it was just one sided and that wasn't right. He told me he appreciated that i told him.... and we both agreed that we moved too fast and that we did things we probably shouldn't have done. He asked me if we could be friends after i told him my reasons and i told him i would have to think about it cause we just broke up, and i came to a decision and told him yes we could be friend but probably not best best friends and that it would take a while and he said yeah that's going to be hard for me just seeing you as a friend because i still have love for you or that he still loves me a lot, and now i'm having that same problem. What should I do because part of me wants to tell him that i still love and the other part is saying to keep it to myself. what should i do?
