Was in a relationship for more than 11 years and now I have her as a friend this is so painful

Awe that's tough, would you prefer her not a friend at all?

sorry too hear that ````

Thanks for ask Of course not, I dont want to lose her friwndship but Im trying to move on and we have to deal with this sad part for now, I know later we will be fine and great good friends but is not easy right now, I adore her but I dont want to be in a relationship without love and I dont regret anything

Thanks :(

Having a true friend includes loving them too, maybe not compatible as lovers? Sounds like one of you was jealous because if you can maintain a friendship and love and care then there is no reason to stop dating unless someone was being too possessive or perhaps wanted an open relationship. Anyways it will get easier with time. I missed my boyfriend forever after a year of dating I missed him when we broke up but he was a total jerk and I still missed the companionship. Now I am soooo glad he is gone. I have found someone much better who I am more compatible with,so you will too. Give it time. who knows absence makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe she come back to you and realize grass isn't always greener on the other side.

We care for each other, but she is not in love. She is a great person and we are still talking as friends we always respect each other and I think that is why we had a great relationship for 12 years and I know we will be a great friends but if one of us dont feel more than a friendship there is when we have the problem. I havent tell anything to my fam they never accept her or my sexual orientation and I told to one of my sister because she was one that accept a little and treated her with respect. Now Im just trying to deal with the separation :( I know some day Ill be fine is just matter of time but for now it hurts like nothing I was been thru in my life

All families exare diiferent. My family didnt care for my ex and they still hate my sexuality, but the one thing they DO understand is heartbreak. Tell them and show them your emotion, that will help them understand it was about love, not sex, or those other annoying misunderstandings.

True that, thanks :'(

Rili I dnt think being friends is such a good idea.u r just gon keep getting hurt and its gon b vry hard for u to move on. U v to stay away 4 a while until u find som1.

If you truley want to be happy you have to be open with your family, and if they can not accept it, then follow your heart not their rules. I've learned to just keep my dating life non existent from my family, until I get engaged or. Something....I won't bother because there are too many judgements.
