How can I be friends with a former partner that wronged me? I've been both a date and a "friend" (altho we did still flirt some as friends) to this guy. As a date, he was not great to me, but I didn't realize it until recently. We were friends that flirted a lot for the last few months, and he was a good friend. But now he told me he met someone else and wants to be JUST friends. I want to be friends with him since he was a good friend to me, but I also feel like I didn't get closure for how he wronged me when he was my partner. I'm anxious about the idea of talking about it with him because I'm not sure what I'd even say since it's not really something he can fix or apologize for at this point, plus it feels redundant to do that. But being his friend without that closure feels a little weird. I'm not sure what to do because all options of (1) talking to him about it, (2) not talking to him about it and being friends, or (3) avoiding it by not being his friend, are all giving me anxiety.
