<human>: Hi Reddit,

Short and sweet, here's the details: We're both in our early 20s and were together for 3 months. We just broke up two days ago after about two weeks of stressful interactions (in addition to sickness and midterms). We felt that we both needed to work on some individual things separately and decided that we should break up to work on those.

The thing is, Reddit, we haven't stopped talking since. We both still have really strong feelings for each other and wish that things weren't how they are, but we both see the immense value in taking some time apart. My problem is that every time we talk or see each other in person, I still see him as my boyfriend and have to physically stop myself from crossing the friend-boundary.

Before you go jumping to the "just stop talking to him" default answer, I should mention that we both desperately want to be friends. We enjoy one another's company and really enjoy supporting each other as friends.

He says he's already stopped seeing me as his girlfriend and now sees just his friend. HOW CAN I DO THIS, REDDIT, DO DON'T WANT TO SUFFER EVERY TIME I SEE OR TALK TO HIM.

hlelp meeee

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Boyfriend and I just broke up and want to be friends but I can't see him as only my friend. Help?
