The friendship you once had has changed — it’s no longer a genuine friendship. You’ve both been honest about your sexual feelings for each other, and you said he cheated on you, so I assume you dated or slept together making the friendship something else entirely. All of these changes mean you can’t go back to being friends.
I think you need to let go and understand that not every relationship is meant to last forever. They don’t come with visible expiration dates, but like bad milk, yours with this guy is no longer fresh.
Read Think & Date Like A Man so you can understand how to win the dating game (because it is a game, and how you play determines the quality of your relationships).
