I (22F) was broken up with last night by my (23F) gf of several months (we were friends before dating). She said it has nothing to do with me and that she was in a bad mental place and wants to focus on herself and she can’t give me time/energy anymore and doesn’t have space for a relationship.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, but I can accept it if it will make her feel better. That being said, how do I tell her I don’t want to stay friends? I want to go no contact. I don’t really believe in staying friends with exes because it gets messy for me not being able to move on.
I’m worried if I tell her I want no contact it’ll make her mental state worse because we were extremely close friends before dating and after dating we talked several hours a day. I’m a big emotional support to her. Not sure what to say other than “I wish you the best but we can’t be friends. I hope you feel better.” But then I feel like I sound like an asshole.
Please help
