Men see their partner as a friend that they have want to have sex with. Unless you've done something to radically alter your physical appearance, he's always likely to want you sexually - which is always going to make it difficult for him to see you as just a friend. This will be even harder if you dumped him.
Ask yourself how common it is for ex's to stay in touch as friends. Ask yourself how meeting an ex is typically portrayed in films and on TV shows; is it with affection for one another or do they usually show a desperate desire to avoid one another? Answer: the latter is most common by far. Is it common for there to be hostility towards one or the other - answer: yes, especially if the relationship broke up because of a bad mistake such as cheating.
I think you're thinking more about your own needs, and point of view, than his. Why _should_ he want to be friends with you? Do you have anything besides being female that he can't get from his male friends? I doubt it.

im in the same boat
right now he's angry though but hes still trying to work it out so i dont know best thing to do is just let him go little by littlr so he wont get hurt and let him come around when he's ready to be just friends. It might take a while but in the end it'll be better

If he refuses to be other than friends then consider, you make him think by staying connected as friends there is hope for repair of you still being his girl.

If there was sex involved, I would say you can't. He needs to do it on his own and come to a place where he can be your friend. Nothing on your part can do this, other than you NOT talking to him or being involved in his life.

He needs time to heal. Dont force a friendship on him because he will never get over you. He will come to it when he is ready
