I just don't want to hurt anyone else again.

Hey there...
That's very thoughtful of you...but it seems the person your'e hurting the most is Yourself...

i just haven't gotten the courage to really forgive

I know, it will be hard for you, but the first thing you can do is forgive him, everybody deserves a second chance and you don't need to be close to him as earlier and apart from that, continuously thinking about it will just make you sad...

you know it will never work out?

You know, if you really love him so much what makes you think, it will never work out... i mean, every couple faces problems, you two should talk about it, and like you said both of you are not perfect so maybe you can give it a try, of course if he feels the same too...

it's really over, but would this really benefit us?

I think, answer to this is completely up to you, if you really want to end it, go ahead...but if you are even a little bit confused,then don't make any move.

Well i know, This is not much of a help, but i really think, you are just angry with him, which is making you delusional, and the proof to that is, you are using the words love and hate together...i would just say, try to cool yourself first and think about it again whether you really want to end it or not...cause in the end, it should your decision...and as for dating again...i think you should try to make your feelings clear for your ex. cause entering in a relationship with someone else with feelings for ex. is bad for your new significant other.

So the conclusion is, just have a talk with him and reach to a conclusion together and if it's really hard for you then cut every possible way of connection with him for some time...

Hope this helps...
