How do I let go of my friend?

    My best friend is a guy. We slept together for over a year and said it would be nothing more. After this we stopped and decided to be just friends. There was a few moments while away that things happened but nothing was said about where we stood when we got back. He wasn't the nicest person in the world and I know he's not treating me brilliantly despite his belief that this whole thing is my fault. I feel like I should let him go despite our mutual friends and the fact i'll more than likely see him in college this year. I'd be tempted to move abroad but I want to prove to myself that I'm stronger than that and I don't need to run away in order to keep myself away from him for awhile. He used to be an amazing friend and he still can be but I feel some of the things he said were too much. Has anyone any advice on how i should go about forgetting things?

    Hi OP - I am sorry the way things turned out....

    I would suggest to you that the best way of dealing with this 'loss' is to occupy yourself with other things. Social activity, sports or physical activity etc.

    It is a very difficult thing to lose someone in these frustrating circumstances but we have no other choice but to move on. You are absolutely right in NOT allowing this to control your life. You will hurt for a while but time will ease the pain and the sense of loss I assure you.

    All the best.
