Relationship Stress / by monsteroflove

...See more My boyfriend broke up with me 2 weeks ago because his mom is in the late stages of ALS and he needs to be there for her. He feels guilty for not being there enough so he ended things between me and him so he could help her out at home whenever she needs it. We dated for 6 months. I know it doesn't seem that long but it has been the best 6 months of my life. He was really there for me and treated me like a princess. I have dealt with a lot of pain in my life and he has helped me be a better person. Throughout the relationship I was 110% supportive of his issue and was always there for him. I never complained that I never got to see him when he had to be there for his mom and always cherished every second with him. So him leaving has been the hardest thing. We agreed to stay friends and we do talk everyday but it is so hard to be his friend. He knows that I wouldn't have mind being in the relationship and not seeing him all the time but he chose to break up because he couldn't give me a real relationship. I know I have to be there for him as a friend through this tough time in his life but how can this be easier for me?
