How much longer will my heart hurt?

My boyfriend broke up with me over two months ago and the pain I feel in my heart only seems to be getting worse. I’ve been through breakups before, but none of them left me as wounded as this one.. He wants to remain friends, but I haven’t talked to him for the past two weeks, because I literally just tear up and get sad & angry. Will we ever be able to be just friends?

The changes in your relationship can take time to adjust to. Transitioning from a romantic relationship to friendship can be tough, especially if there are still romantic feelings lingering from either person. If you two are committed to transitioning to friendship, both of you get to be accepting of each other's choices. Love can transcend breakups and make for a encouraging and supporting friendship. Fortunately you two have the power to create such a relationship if you choose to.My challenge for you is to express your desire for friendship with your EX. On top of that, I challenge you to share how you are feeling with regard to the breakup with him. Even in friendships, openness is key to healthy communication.

Time is a healer. Breakups are terrible. I would recommend that you keep yourself busy doing things. Thinking about it will only hurt you more. Find a hobby, go out hiking, hang with friends, do whatever you need to do to keep yourself busy. Maybe you two will remain friends, maybe not. I can say that out of my ex's only one remains a friend of mine. You'll make it through this. Everyone has gone through this at some point in their lives :)
