For the record I definitely feel quite badly about the breakup, especially since he was my first love. Although it was mutual, he was more of the one that did the breaking up. We both felt our relationship had gone stale-- not that we were fighting, but we just stopped making each other happy. He stopped calling/ reaching out to me as often and I felt I was giving too much in the first place and wasn't getting much back. We haven't spoken since the break up, and I still feel horrible about it. But I miss him a lot and the way our friendship used to be. How do I go about being friends? It was a long distance relationship in the first place (which I know never works out) but we used to see each other during the summer/ school breaks (such as spring, christmas, or thanksgiving breaks). Is it even worth it to be friends at this point? My worst fear is that he doesn't want to talk to me or that I would reach out and he would say he doesn't want me to be a part of his life.

ex-boyfriend of over a year broke up with me a couple weeks ago; how do I go about being friends? Would be far better to just forget about it and move on?
