Hi Lisa, I don’t think anyone thinks you can *never* be friends with your ex who still loves you after a relationship. But certainly not straight away. I’ve always, always been hurt or hurt someone else when I’ve tried that. Blocking them and not engaging at all is kinder and sends a clear message and signal to stop leaning on that person as you rebuild your life. I’m friends with some of my exes from years ago, but it is years, not weeks, not months. Really loving someone at 0%, on both sides, takes time. I know it’s tempting to lie and say “oh I have no feelings for you now!” so you don’t lose them, but you’re only hurting yourself in the long run. Hope it works out, heartbreak is hard. 💕
