And to just make it a little more clearer, I am not hoping for any kind of reunion with him in the future. I just want me and him (us) to still be a part of each other’s live in a way, by wishing each other well. I just genuinely think this person is still an amazing person and a friend regardless of the break up. It is true that I had a lot of attachment to this man as a partner, but I have the intention to keep the friendship going. He also agrees on this. What I mean by staying friends is that we contact each other 2-3 times a week on special occasions like birthday etc and maybe saying hi when we accidentally bump into each other instead of avoiding each other.
