To cut a long story short, got back together with ex.
Unfortunately it was not meant to be, and just recently, it was called off.
Now this is the problem. I love him dearly as a best friend. From my point of view, I have no more doubts in my mind that we are not destined to be together as partners in life, but we work very well as best friends.
He is of the opinion that our intellectual platonic attraction, will lead to a vicious circle of on-again-off-again involvement, which would be detrimental in long term.
I honestly believe that it would be very unlikely to happen anymore. Something died for me this time around, and I do not want him as partner anymore, but as a best friend.
I have told him so, explaining my reasoning and thought process that lead me to that conclusion.
As I am awaiting for him to think about it and let me know what he thinks about it, I just wanted to ask you what your opinions are.
Thanks in advance.
