Is it stupid to be friends with your ex when you're still in love with them?

I'm still in love with her but she isn't in love with me(why we broke up) she wants to be friends and keep talking like nothing's happened and I want to reach that point but I'm still heartbroken...we talk every day and it feels okay but when we hang up I feel so empty

That'll keep your neurochemicals flowing. Being in proximity to her, maybe even a little physical touch every now and then, that'll keep your oxytocin and vassopressin high. It'll just hurt you.

At minimum, I'd suggest no contact for 2 weeks.
