So my boyfriend of 3 years and I just broke up.  He says that he thinks we are friends, and he cares about me, but he does not love me.  He was almost crying, and I know that he did not want to hurt me.  I think it almost would have been easier if there had been a fight or anger between us.  I want to still at least be his friend, but right now I am not sure that I can.  I love him dearly, and it just hurts to think about this right now.  I had allowed myself to envision a life together, and now...I feel lost.
