text: you didn't mention how old you were, I'm in the same situation I'm 27 and I think my ex-gf gave up on me by saying she just wants to be friends, that's the easiest way out for you, think about your future, do you have a future with him? Does he have goals? Could he be a good father? If you can picture yourself with him and happy in the future then stay with him, if not then just tell him you want to be friends that way he won't be let down hard
