My ex-boyfriend and I were together for 3 years. I am a cancer and he is a saggi. We definitely had our bad times but we always got over them. Because I am a cancer I was able to somewhat forgive but never forget any and all of the lies he fed me. I knew from the beginning (by reading compatibility forcasts) we were a bad match but I always believed we had a chance. Over the 3 three years we became best friends and so much more. Towards the end we were pretty much only together out of convenience and fear of being alone. Well, he met another girl and decided to break it off with us in Nov. I took it really hard because I wasn't expecting this at all. After a month had passed I realized I didn't miss him as a boyfriend, I only missed my best friend. I told him that everything that has happened is for the best and that I don't hate him for anything, I let him know that if he needs me I'll be there. We've kept in touch and even met up a couple of times and it is so nice seeing him but then I realize he is going home to spend his time with his new gf and I fall back into sadness because the place I want to be in in his life isn't there anymore. Everybody tells me to cut all ties with him and have nothing to do with him but I can't imagine getting rid of the person who I have the biggest connection with. After not talking for 2 weeks he emails me telling me he was feeling sad and had so much to tell me. He says I always make him feel better after we talk and I love being there for him. Because of my concern for him I don't know if I am doing what is best for me. I will love him forever for who he is; he taught me alot about what I want and don't want in a relationship. Thankfully I am going away to college and I will be surrounded by newness and I will find my own happiness (hopefully). I guess I'm looking for opinions/advice on whether or not I should follow my head (move on) or my heart (be there as a friend).
