Some think that people who believe they can still be friends with their exes are in denial…or there’s something more that they’re not willing to say. 

Listen, attachments sucks, but letting go is a hard pill to swallow for many, even if it is better to do so.

In some situations, the break up wasn't your choice so you may still find yourself having strong feelings for your ex and those feelings don't just go away especially if you still watering them by still attaching yourself to that one person you feel has your heart.
