writes: My boyfriend broke up with me a week ago and he still wants to remain friends with me. His reason for breaking up with me is because he's not happy with his life and needs time to be alone to figure things out. Is he keeping me around just in case he wants me back or am I wasting my time being his friend still?

 Many people will tell you you are waisting your time.Do you think you are waisting it? About 19yrs ago my boyfriend then (now husband) said the exact same thing your ex said to you.I remained friends ,but did not contact him I said to myself if he wants me must make the effort to get me.I did not wait around for his calls,I carried on without him.I went out with my friends and enjoyed myself.3months later he phoned me and asked me out on a date ,which I accepted.And the rest is history ,we are married now 16yrs next month.We have had ups and downs but its a journey I would not change.xxx

 You're wasting your time if you feel like you want more than friendship. If he wants to be alone then let him be. He can't have his cake and eat it too. Be friendly but not too friendly. Answer his call and talk cordially but he chose to be alone and you are respecting his wishes. If he has time to see how his life is without you then he will come back to you and if he doesn't then you know its was something you had to go thru to grow. Good Luck.
