You can’t stay friends if one of you is still emotionally/romantically attached. It doesn’t work, and prolongs the pain. It sounds like you feel differently about her than she does you, and people say, “we can stay friends” just to be kind. Maybe you will stay friends, but I said the same, and so have thousands of others, through the ages, when breaking up. I’m sorry you hurt. We’ve all gone through that heartache, and it’s awful, but you will heal.
