The thing is that we agreeded on being friends after the break up, because of course we still care for each other's life and we want to be there for each other. The problem is that, even when we are not in touch that often, I haven't been able to move on in my feelings. My ex, on the other hand, is one of the most mature and reasonable persons I've known, so he is dealing well with our new situation. I know that it would be better and healthier for me to stop being friends with him in order to have REAL closure, but I sincerely love him -the way that one loves really close friends or family!- and I can't see myself ignoring what is going on in his life, wondering if he's doing fine, wondering if he needs my support. So, shall I continue being his friend or not?
I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks so much for "listening".

The test: your ex tells you about this great new woman he's met, and you're nothing but happy for him. If you're not there yet, you're not ready to be friends.
