Scenario

When staying friends with an ex prevents moving forward

My ex-boyfriend and I stayed friends after we broke up but now he's dating someone new and I realize I was holding onto hope that we'd get back together and I don't know how to be happy for him.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The generosity of continued friendship can become a prison of false hope, making moving on feel like betrayal.
