I want to break things.

He broke up with me two weeks ago- (A few days before he told me he loved me!!). A week later, the night of my birthday, he texts me that he slept with another girl. he apologizes. I don't hate him but I hate what he did. and it's not like he could have not told me cuz I knew something was up and he knew I knew and ugh. I'm trying to maintain a friendship because he is an amazing guy and one of the few people that really get me... but fuck I can't deal with this kind of blow.
Another week later (today):

Chris is in a relationship with Sarah

And plus I have a lot of issues with relationships.

I've been puking three times a day. I wondered why. Well I think we all kind of know.
I'm so damned conflicted.

So lonely but I can't stand people right now.

I don't know what to do with myself. I have no time to figure anything out... way too busy.

=[
I'm sorry, thats terrible.
I hope you feel better.
But he's an idiot judging by the way that he's acted, and you better off without him, even though it may not seem that way just yet.

It might be too hard to keep a friendship right away, right after a breakup, especially with him dating someone new so very soon. It's still so fresh - is it possible to cut contact for a few months and get your head and your heart together and re-evaluate a few months down the road? If he is that good a friend, he'll understand your need for distance, and he'll be there when you are ready.
It's probably good that you're keeping yourself busy. Try not to isolate yourself, I know for me, that's a recipe for disaster...
You will find a better guy. Please be kind to yourself, if you can.

Yeah- isolating myself exactly what I am trying so hard not to do. And it's so much harder during summer vacation. But I think I'm doing ok.

In terms of needing distance from him... yeah. I don't think months though. I went for coffee with him just yesterday after a whole week of processing (and a LOT of that) and it was really refreshing, to know that I was able to turn myself around that way- I figured out that what I miss is really the memories and the feeling, not so much him, because he's still there, just in a different capacity, and honestly at the end our relationship had become pretty platonic- despite the emotional and intellectual connection the rest of it just wasn't really there enough.
I need a certain amount of distance for sure- but I also need a lot of support right now, and he's one of the few people I can confide in trusting he understands and won't judge. Seeing him isn't painful. It's just the reminders of the really good things/memories that are painful.
and he said the same thing. lol. not to blame myself or doubt myself, he screwed up and didn't see it coming, and that sort of thing. I appreciate him being honest and open.
He's a really really really good friend. Just not so much for the relationship side of things.
