Alright. Here's the story:
My ex-boyfriend left me about 2 weeks ago. We broke up mainly because the relationship became tedious for him. Lately, I've been doing fine. That is until he started talking to me again. He acts as if nothing happened, and I guess this is because he's over me, and he made it pretty clear that he still wants to keep me as one of his best friends.

Since we started talking again, I've noticed that I think of him more now. Yesterday, his away message said "I can honestly say that I have never ever felt this way before". Of course, I assume that it means he likes someone else...I could be wrong.

Anyway, that thing has been disturbing me and has been on my mind so much. Who is she? I know I shouldn't care, or be jumping to conclusions but I can't help it.

I also know that the only way to fully get over it is to distance myself from him, and not talk to him anymore.

The problem is...I like talking to him, and I don't want to lose the friendship. I know that if I bring up anything about needing space to recover, it will become extremely awkward.

I don't know what to do.

omg! I wish I had 2 weeks away from my boyfriend! But it's hard because we LIVE together!

I'm probably not the best person to respond to your issue, because I've taken back my stupid ass boyfriend for cheating on me (more than twice). So I'm just gonna share with you what everyone else has been telling me to do.

The distance thing is good. Of course, you'll be jealous that he's "already moved on" with some other chick, but that's 'cause you still like him. That's totally human! But of course you don't know for sure.

I guess ignoring him for awhile will help. Just say that you're too busy to talk to him or whutever. Try to hold your feelings back, and don't get too attached. Guys love attention just as much as girls do!

It's coo to be friends, but not so soon, especially when you've still got some kind of feelings for him.

That's the best that I could say for your situation. Good luck!

I know how you feel. You wanna get over your feelings for him but you dont wanna stop talking to him because you think you'll change the bond you guys have. I don't really like doing the whole ignoring thing because it only makes you more curious. My only other option is you talking to him about how you feel. Thats the only way you'll actually really know. Or if you wanna go with the spacing yourself form him thing, hang out with the girlies, find some eye candy if you catch my drift.
