I bet you all had this problem at least once. The problem of letting go.
So the background information -
I dated this one guy for almost a year. Then he broke up with me. He told me before that the reason was because he wants to live his life. I realized that during our relationship, we became each other's lives and focused on nothing but each other. So I understood his reason. We loved each other. Well, I still love him. So four months after the break up he comes back to my life and tells me that he misses me. He told me that he threw away the best thing in his life and he said he didn't even know why he broke up with me. But he doesn't want us back, because he doesn't want to go through all that pain we went through again. The next day he told me that he loves me as a sister. Now, eight months after the break up we talked again. It was like a normal conversation. But at the end, I started crying because I miss him so much. We didn't talk about our feelings. I didn't bother bringing it up, I didn't want my hopes to go up just to be pulled down.
Anyway, it's really hard for me to let go of him. I need to let go of him. It's so painful. But at the same time, I'm not really sure if I want to let go of him. I feel like if I do, I will completely lose him. If pain is the closest thing I can have with him, I feel like it's fine with me. I know, it might be pathetic, but I don't know. I don't know what to do.
We used to be best friends, now I'm not even sure if we're friends.
What should I do?
I'm sorry if it's long.
