my best friend and i have dated on and off for the past 2 years and we’re broken up right now but still act very much like a couple (and slept together today) he has a lot of mental things to sort out and doesn’t feel a relationship is best for him and his Mum feels the same way. she tracked his location today and was upset that we were together because she thinks it’s more beneficial if we don’t see eachother. i get in a way where she’s coming from, but it hurts the most that i feel like i’m losing my best friend because of this. at the end of the day him and i agreed that no matter what we are we’ll still be in each others lives because we’re best friends, but i feel so much heartache simply because i feel so strongly about our relationship. i know sex probably isn’t making it any easier to “get over it” but i don’t know how to feel. i don’t have any friends that are girls or friends outside of our friend group really to talk about with this so it sucks. i just want him to be happy, i also wish i knew how to help him. i know mental illnesses first hand and i know there isn’t always something that can be done to help the person struggling, but i feel so badly for him because he says he just wants to feel like himself again.
