<human>: Well, it was only 8 months long and we knew it was coming but it really didn't change anything. We both still love each other incredible amounts. We tried an open relationship first but that ended quickly since from both sides we were incredibly anxious and hurt thinking about each other with another person. 

When that "ended" and she suggested we just be friends, it really is no different than before. We still say we love each other all the time and talk constantly throughout the day. When shes home on break too we'll pick right up where we left off. 

Although I'm miserable and I don't foresee that stopping. I look at photos of us all the time and have written letters from her that I read often too. 

It's not like anything bad happened between us that I can use to distance and get over the person. Additionally, we're both heavily reliant on each other for support. 

Everything I'm doing is the opposite of what I should do to get over a person. But I can't just stop talking to this girl, shes like my best friend. But I also don't want to be miserable everyday.

Please help.

<bot>: I want to get over my ex. Yet we talk everyday, say we love each other, and both heavily rely on one another.
