Okay so about a year and a half ago I started dating one of my best friends, and it soon blossomed into a relationship. We had our problems, alot of arguing, and recently she decided she'd had enough and broke up with me. I can't say I blame her if I'm being totally honest I have a terrible temper and unfortunately she often took the brunt of it. (Just to be clear I never hit her!).
As such I have decided to see my GP because I think I may have anger issues.
But now I don't really know what to do or even what I should want. My gut feeling is of course that I want to be back in the relationship and of course that can't happen, at least not for now. The thing is she wants to remain friends, and I want that too, we were friends for ten years before our relationship started, and I don't want to throw that away, so were are still texting each other and stuff.
The problem is I don't know how I'm supposed to get over her and remain friends at the same time. I don't know if I can continue to talk to her without constantly wishing we'd get back together. Has anyone ever had a similar experience and could maybe shed some light on the best thing to do?
