Sex changes everything. It’s impossible for you two to be friends again, now that you’ve slept together and dated for five months, until you’ve BOTH moved on. Right now, you haven’t, and he’s wanting to “mess around” with other girls, but to still have you as his friend again — a best friend, no less. Your feelings are going to be hurt each time you’re with him and he talks about or spends time with other women he’s interested in dating. And he’s going to expect you to be okay with this.
My advice is to let go and stop seeing him so that [i]you can[/i] move on. Not all relationships are supposed to last forever, and being friends with a guy often ends like this. I don’t mean to make you feel badly by telling you this — I just want you to understand that what happened to you is normal, but that you’re going to continue to feel hurt, sad and even depressed until you move on and let him go — as your boyfriend and as your friend.
