When me and my ex entered our relationship, we promised each other we would still be friends if it didn't work out. We've been friends for over 6 years and have a great friendship but not always a great relationship. Now we're ldr and things this year was going well between us. We were planning on moving in together. We met up in May and were scheduled for August /September, but due to family issues and other things, it was pushed to November. That didn't happen because he decided to change the trip and we ended up arguing for 2 days. We broke up.
I held up the promise and thought he would too but it doesn't seem so. He said he needs time, and I'm giving him that and I kindly asked if he wanted to meet up for a day in December. He said no but suggested sometime next year.
This might seem like I'm pushing it with him but I need to emphasize how strong our friendship was, but I'm thinking he's going to tear the whole tree up with me and kill the friendship.
Should I just leave him alone completely and hope he'll still want to be friends? He was my best friend though and I his.

Promising something like that is dumb. Because sometimes it's not a good idea to stay friends. Sometimes it's hard and damages the healing process. You can't really ask that of someone.
>Should I just leave him alone completely and hope he'll still want to be friends?
Yeah.
Sorry for your loss, OP.

as a general rule, friendships with ex partners is a bad idea.
Promises are fucking meaningless and trying to put weight on them is futile.
Cutting contact is the best thing you can do. It's hard but in the long run the best solution.
Every time you talk to him it would only reinforce whatever feelings you have for him and getting over him would take longer.
Just fuck some randos until you forget about him.

I'm not the one who's struggling here. I'm not going to find anyone else and I've been totally at peace with that since forever. He was my first real friend and boyfriend, and I know I will be a forever 40 and single until I die. I've accepted that fact and I have accepted that he needs to move on and find love elsewhere. I'm fine with that too. My point is that I fear for our friendship and our friendship has always been most important to me. Having him as my friend made me feel whole.
But he obviously doesn't see it that way and I feel he may not want to have anything to do with me if I wasn't his girlfriend.
I found comfort in knowing he'd still be my friend but perhaps it wasn't a genuine thing?

Maybe he just needed some quality time with his ass not getting bitched off.
