Moving on is tough but you're only making it harder by staying "friends" or whatever the hell you both agreed on. Some people can be friends with their ex...but you need to give yourself time to heal..ALONE. None of this "lets keep talking...lets stay friends" shit because it will just backfire on you. Obviously it's easy for her to say that because she's already moved on while you're still in love with her.

Don't feel like you're not a man because you cry over her. Crying is natural...it's how a person grieves a loss. Don't feel embarassed and anyone who tells you you're being a pussy is a douchebag. Some people take longer than others to move on, everyone is different and don't feel like you neeed to rush into getting "better."

The old saying "Focus on you" may seem cliche and typical advice..but it really is the best remedy on getting over a breakup. Take this time to spend time with friends, be with your family, work out, ANYTHING to get your mind off of the sadness. You'd be surprised how much you will learn about yourself overtime and you'll have a better idea as to what you really want in a relationship the next time around.

As for the guy...define "close-ish." Is he someone you talk to daily? I don't think it's wrong of you to think WTF but at the same time...these things happen. Maybe he wasn't all that great of a friend you thought he was in the first place...or maybe they really are a better match. Either way, I think it's time to just distance yourself from all this drama and just close that chapter of your life.
