Hello aunts. I'm in a situation that I can't seem to escape and let go. I'm 17 and I was in a gay relationship with my boyfriend for 2 years. Our relationship was perfect, we were there for each other, we did everything with each other, I thought we were soul mates. Even though we had a couple arguments and fights...what relationship doesn't? I loved him, and he loved me. He was the only one I had, the only thing that made me happy in life, the only thing that kept me sane. But now... I don't have him. He broke up with me a month ago, for what ever reasons he wouldn't tell me. Whenever i would ask him why, he would say "it's not you, it's me, just not working out." Right..that's original. He asked to still be friends with me, to the fact that I have to see him on the regular basis so he's still around me and hugs me like we're best friends. But it's tearing me apart having him that close to me, but not really have him at all. If I try to stay away from him... I'll just miss him even more. So I'm stuck. Ever since he broke up with me I've been more depressed than i ever was before I met him. He was my medicine, my cure. and now im just..ughh, can't even think. I don't know what to do. can anyone help me?
