I've been dating the same person for 7 years. About a month ago, he decided that he couldnt take the stress he's under being around my family (which is understandable to me - dont want to go to further details with this). BUT one thing that's bothering me the most is the fact that he broke up with me & already found someone that he's interested in then tells me he slept with her! I'm still very much in love with him and thought maybe its ok to be JUST friends... should i still see him?

I was in somewhat of a similar situation a couple years ago. The correct thing to do is stop any and all contact with him. You will go through many things, crying, sleepless nights, wanting to pick up the phone and call him. But please, don't. You need to get yourself used to being away from him. Slowly, gradually, time will take care of most of the hurt. And believe me when I say that you will get on with your life and be a better person for it. Through your experience on getting through the hurt he gave you, you may be able to help other people do what they need to do as well.
The best thing you can do is stay away from him. Let yourself go through the depression and everything.
JUST FRIENDS doesn's work. When you've loved someone for 7 years, you will be hurt everytime you think of them with someone else if you haven't given yourself time to heal. Take time for yourself and whatever you do, DON'T CALL HIM.

For your sake NO.
He is obviously not meant to be. The just friends thing won't work if you are still carrying a torch for him.
He has found a way to move on and you should too. I am not saying jump into bed with the first guy who revs your engine but let yourself be available to other opportunities.
Maybe down the road you can explore friendship only...who knows by then your situation could change and you and he may become close again. But, don't schedule your life around a maybe.

No don't see him. He moved on way too fast. Maybe he was already seeing this person. I mean after 7 years u just don't find someone in a month and start a relationship and start sleeping with them and all that. I would save my own heart and stay away from him.

If you have been with this person for this long and in a heartbeat he can meet s'one and sleep with them already he wasn't very serious about you in the first place. If he really loved you no matter what he would've stick it out with your family. Don't put yourself through that leave him alone and try to move on.

get out of his life.
lesson - do not go out with a man more than 2 years without any serious commitment, like engagement e.t.c
lesson - 7 years is way too long to know someone...

I would say no, cut him cold turkey aout of your life, if you don't you will only get more hurt and will never get over him. It will be much more painful to witness everything he goes trhough with his other relationships and you won't move on.
