my ex boyfriend and I have had very very strong feelings for each other for almost 2 years now..6 months of which we went out but even after we broke up we hung out and this summer we were inseperable and basically seeing each other again just not officially together..but crazy about each other..and i had told him he could hook up with other girls BUT if he does then we should probably just be friends because i didn't wanna get hurt and that just wouldnt be right but he did hook up a couple times and we ended up still staying the same until saturday night..he got head from a girl..which is something he would usuallly never do..and that night he sent me a message saying we should just be friends..and then later that night after both of us had cried cause it felt like things were coming to an end..he begged for me to just forgive him and told me how he'd pick me over ANY other girl and he just wanted to be with me..and I just kept telling him that that its best we be friends because of what he did adn because he sent a message saying we should be friends so obviously before he hooked up with her he knew it risked us just being friends and i told him that we could just be best buds like we always were because i was hurt. and so since then ive stayed strong and kept telling him we should just be friends but hes apologized countless times. and i do wanna be friends with him but heres the thing..i dont know if i should just forgive him and jsut let us be really good buds or just have some distance for a while or what..and am i the only one who thinks what he did was wrong? thank you so much!
Additional info, added Tuesday August 21 2007, 6:39 pm: we werent going out by the way..just "seeing" each other this summer..thats why i said if he wanted to hook up with other girls we'd have to just become friends..

You two weren't technically going out and you did tell him he could be with other girls, but on the other hand he shouldnt have text you THAT night, a personal conversation would have been much better. I would say just be friends with him, you can be good buddies, and when you feel like you want to get back together with him then talk it over with him and see what he says...even though I'm pretty sure he would say yes to you in a split second. I also think that before you get back together with him you should tell him how hurt you were and that you don't want to be hurt again. This way he knows not to ever do what he did to you again.
