Ok, so me and boyfriend were together for almost 3 years, and we decided to be friends. The feelings just aren't there anymore, but he is my best friend and that is the only reason it is so hard for me. I'm not losing just my boyfriend. So we are trying to stay friends, but the habits come back like touching or the pet names. And I just feel it will only be a matter of time before the habits take us from friends to a relationship again and we won't make it, we'll only go through this again. But I can't let go. So I just need some words of wisdom, or some advice. I just feel like i'm losing more than a boyfriend and one minute I'm fine and the next I can't handle it. I know it will get better, but help...

You'll get over it of course. However I think you need to act more like a friend at the neginning so that no one even you should be confused. Like call him once or twice a week and him once a week.
There are tons of people outside and since no way back has ever been a happy experience for 99% of the population your only choice is to move ahead and discover new people, get those thrilling feeling of meeting someone new...
It takes time though but you'll make it

that's how it is with me and ex husband...feelings left..we became best friends..got divorced..and it was hard .... (much easier about not doing the serious relationship part now that I'm dating someone).I can handle the not having the husband part...but he's my best friend so we still talk about stuff and all that..and it's good...you can still have him as a best friend..just takes a bit to get past the boyfriend part of the relationship....we had gotten back together one time..it lasted like 3 months and we wised up..lol...decided being best friends was much easier.
you can do it! :)

my 1st boyfriend was my best frined. he was my 1sr everything....then one day i realized that i no longer had those feelings nemore....but we stayed friends. (close friends at that) we tell eachother everything...or we use to neway. hes in a new realtionship with one of my friends...so he no longer has time to talk to me. but when we do talk its alwayz. but yea it took us a while to stop calling eachother "babe" and the "i love you's" before goin to bed. it just takes time to adjust. and trust since you 2 are no longer together u are going to find it hard to make time. just make sure that u 2 no longer have feelings for one another...cuz once u see them with someone else else it might be too late. ( i thought they were gone but they were still there) i hope i helped you out!
