I know its a bad idea, I didn't want to end things but I did because she didn't seem to prioritize me and I felt like I was losing her to other guys.

I pretty much said this during the break up, she didn't want to fight to make things work, she said she felt the same way about it not working out for a while. I love what she could be, and maybe if we communicated better it would have worked but that scenario is a make believe one.

I told her I love her and she said the same, she said there is a good chance we get back together. I just miss her man.

No prob. Here I'm assuming that you still care about her as a person despite no longer having romantic feelings.

As others said, you need to prioritize your own well-being. Though, you can make the break-up as amicable as it can and help her get through the situation.

The most important thing is her living condition. You can help her with apartment hunting. Since she is financially independent, there might be places that she can afford around there.

Encourage her to expand her social circle, or take up hobbies and have online friends if she's having trouble with irl social interactions.

I was sure of it at the time and it needed to be done. She said that one day she hopes our paths cross again. I am just missing the good times man, I know this is a bad idea. I pretty much said this when we were breaking up, she didn't want to try and save it, she said she felt the same way about breaking up too. I loved her so I let her go, I did that because she didn't prioritize me and it felt like I was a FWB sometimes.

I valued them greatly as a friend, and I've told them about my love interest as well, I did say no every time they ask me out, I understood how love can hurt so much so I never hesitate to tell them "no", but they just refuse to acknowledge my lack of love interest in them.

Sigh.

I know that pain all too well man, it sucks.

But it sounds like it was mutual and that you both have said all you need to say. Look I totally understand wanting to reach out that one last time, really I do... but it doesn't bring the closure you think it does, trust me.

One day at a time, bro, just keep going.
