Original Visitor's Question from a 31-40 year old Female Hello, To make a long story short. I broke up with a guy who I was dating for a year. He insists we should remain friends. I've told him many times that I can't be his friend because I'm in love with him. (the reasons for the breakup and even our relationship are complicated and it will take a longer email to explain). I really need to get over him but he's not making easy for me. To the best of my knowledge I know he does not love me the way I love him. I know if I keep contact with him I'm not going to heal anytime soon. I have explain everything to him with no reserve and he still wants to be my friend. Our realtionship has no future. What can I do? I need some help...I need to move on. I need to get him out of my head and heart.
