Hi Gagan,

Only be friends, if it is not emotionally draining for you. Maybe right now, best to have no contact, so you can try to move on, and like you say, live your life now, not for her, but for you..and to make room for that special someone. You can’t put a new car in the garage, when the old one is still in there. Try to distance yourself the best you can, distract, don’t become your thoughts, and replace your thoughts of your future, instead of her, picture another loving woman and friend. It does get better.
