Sorry, Kossaks, but I'm in the middle of a hellish break-up.
I still love him, I think I always will love him. But he thinks that my current lack of direction in life is holding him back. Yeah, I made a lot more mistakes in that department than I would like to admit, but it still stings.
He wants to stay friends, just like I do. But I have no idea how to make myself alright with the thought of him being with another person. Even after four weeks (we were together for two years...not long, but still), it makes me physically sick to think about him being with somebody else.
Anyway, I have asked several people in my family for advice. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I have gotten a wide range of advice, very strongly correlated with the politics of the person I asked.
Having thus figured that romance is, in spite of our pretending otherwise, a politically charged topic, I kind of want to open the floor for advice on here.
