<human>: My ex and I broke up after being together for 8 months.  We had a very up and down relationship and because of the emotional roller coaster the relationship made me endure, I decided to ended it.  We were breaking up and getting back together at least 3 times a month...it was very rocky.

Anyway, we broke up a few weeks ago and we decided to continue being friends.  I started going out again in the local bar/club scene and I would see her friends there, and they would text her and immediately tell her and she would start to text me and get jealous and ask me what my intentions were, even though we were already broken up.  Because I felt like we started to go back to a relationship, I told her we couldn't be friends and cut her off completely (much to her dislike).

Its been a week since this and we haven't spoken.  I keep finding myself looking at her Facebook and it is kind of killing me inside. I care for this girl and I wanna know she's ok, but at the same time if I find out she's with someone else, it would hurt me.  I think the best thing for me to do is never talk to her again and never check her Facebook, but it's been really hard and I'm tempted to talk to her again and see her.

Should I / can I be friends with this woman?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Me and my ex cut communication off completely and I think its the best thing for me, but its hurting and Im tempted to re-establish the link.  What do I do?
