Let go, be patient, have faith!

I’m having a really hard time of letting go of a relationship right now. The sad part is that there isn’t even anything to hold on to. He’s repeatedly told me that all he has for me is friendship but my mind will not let me move on. I used to be a really strong person but this past year has beat me down so low that I have absolutely no faith in myself. I know that for my life to get on track again I must do this but I don’t know why it is so hard for me. If anyone has any advice please let me know. I’m stuck. I know this is what I need to do though. I love this person with all my heart but if he doesn’t want to love me back then it’s doing nothing at all for me but dragging me down. It’s just so difficult to hide these emotions when we are so close to each other and share a child.

I know this is what I need though. There was someone in my life before that I had very strong feelings for at least 6 years, and I know I was young but I really loved this person. I finally let go of him and decided to move on because I knew he would never have feelings for me, I had been honest with him and told him everything and he felt nothing. So I opened myself to someone else and not even a month later he began telling me that he loved me and cared for me. I was stupid and I came back to him and he ended up leaving me again. I don’t want this to happen again, but I do want him in my life forever… I just need to let go, be patient, and have faith. that damn patience is so hard though!
