Do I still love my ex?

I haven’t felt ready to date since breaking up with my ex. I think I might still love him, but yet I never want to get back together with him cause I hate how he treated me and cause me much anxiety by hiding things and betrayal. Why do I feel like I can't date anyone else, even though I know in my heart and mind I don’t want to date him again? I also talk to him sometimes as friends so I don’t know if that is hindering me from moving on. Thoughts?

My advice is to cut contact completely. Will make moving on less difficult. Sounds like what you love is who you wish he was and what you wish would have been. That’s just not reality and is only going to keep you stuck.
