i made a agreement with my gf, if we ever break up we would be friends that have sex on and off throughout our lives (in between relationships).


she brought up the idea.
 
Saying she just wants to be friends ain't a good thing. Keep your distance or else you'll feel the hurt everytime you're around her, and more so once you see her dating other guys.
 
Well now I guess I take a different view of this. All of my romantic relationships have evolved from friendships and all have ended on pretty amicable terms (ie: This isn't working out, etc). So I on the other hand am pretty much friends with both my ex gf's. If it starts as a friendship and there is no real loss of trust, I don't see why that friendship can't continue. If you've got problems accepting that its not romantic anymore, well then maybe it wont work. I do think for most though its possible if your relationship is forged from a friendship to start with.
 
I planned on remaining friends with my ex (of three years).
Clearly you were the one who called it off.
 


<< You need to just end contact with her until you feel comfortable around her. If you stay "friends" I can guarantee that you will be hurting everytime you are around her. You will get over her quicker if you keep to other friends and maybe down the road you can be friends.

Exactly
 
Jim is giving some good advice. Anyway I'll give you my take on it.

-Don't argue with her. If she's made up her mind, you can't win.
-You'll simply get more hurt if you talk to her more and hang around with her more.
-The more you think of her and the whole situation, the more hurt or depressed you may get.
-Best thing to do is keep busy.
-Keep contact with your best friends.
-Play some sports, hack up your computers and learn new stuff.
-Keep her OFF your MIND!

IMO those are some very important points that may help. I wish you luck!
