Ex-girlfriend wanted to stay friends and I listened to her
Me 38m and my ex 36f were together for 6 years and boke up because of my job in the oilfield, I work 20 days away from home and then home for 10 days. I didnt want to be friends but we both still loved eachother. I told her I wanted to work on our relationship. After about 3 days no contact she had a breakdown so I agreed to be friends with her. I was her only real friend for 2 years, there were times where we would kiss, go on dates, ho to concerts, she would come over to my new place, we would share a bed. I was under the impression that we were working towards a stronger relationship. After her last sleep over, everything felt good and natural. We communicated everyday until I got home from work. While thinking we were going to make it, she told me she met someone and has been seeing him the 20 days i was gone and we can't be friends anymore. She begged me not to block her and how hard its going to be without me. So now I'm still in love, feeling like an absolute idiot while she got to move on.
