I realize now there is no point of having a relationship. Is there anyway we can make a friendship out of this which she wants and I do want it as well.  We had some strong values like making dinner and when she was upset she would cry in my arms.  We were pretty strong at one point and I know she is looking the best guy she can take as what has happened to her in the past.

After going on about her current date (they ended apparently the other day as he travels a lot) I have asked for space for at least a week.  It caused my mind to be all over the place and actually break down into tears in front of her best mate.

Even with the space. I bumped into her and her kid today.  I thought I would be civil and ask her how she is and she was civil with me and even though you have mentioned it was wrong she let me hug her kid.

This situation is a mess.
