In love, with a possible future, but wants to be friends now?

[Buktuvu]

I'm so confused. My ex broke up with me about a month ago due to political fighting and my anger problems. We are best friends, and we went to prom together a week after we broke up as a last sort of memory. Except prom was so amazing, we acted like a couple still, and a couple of days later he sent me something saying he didn't want to push me out of his heart and he still sees a future with me but the timing isn't right. I feel the same way, so I took a month off from seeing him i talked occasionally to him over text, but today I finally wanted to see what the future would be like and he said he still just wanted to be friends. I honestly don't understand how you can stay in love and just be friends. I asked him whether he wanted to keep loving me romantically and he said yes and no, but honestly I need to know either yes or no. If its a no, I need to take a break from him for like a year, I can't keep the friendship because I'm too in love with him. I don't know what to do because he won't decide, and I think it's a terrible idea to just be friends but still be in love. It won't help us grow and improve and it might create jealousy and resentment. It seems like he wants it all. Tomorrow I am meeting with him. What should I do? I need help please please please. He told me he wasn't going to go try to find another girl, but doesn't want to commit to me i guess. I can't do this whole thing anymore it hurts so much he needs to choose! Ahhh. He also said he wasn't sure if we would date in the future, he thinks it will just happen naturally if it's really meant to be. I'm just scared I'll be on hold forever and he will find someone else and I'll be broken. What to do

Don't put your life on hold for someone who can't make up their mind. I get the feeling that he has checked-out of the relationship a while ago. Time to move on.

 

Also, maybe time for you to look into getting professional help for your anger issues.

Ill translate his actions: He doesnt want to be in a relationship with you, you are intense and he wants to let you down easy so there is no fight or arguments. Dont hold on to the promise of possible friendship down the road. Just accept that it is over for now.

Focus on you, do what it takes to make yourself happy and who knows, you might find another guy who is better fit for you. Someone who shares your political view.
