Head Over Heals

My boyfriend broke up with me last month. We still talk and text almost every day. We're still connected on social media. We've even had dinner twice. I feel better that he's still in my life, even just as a friend, though we don't work as a couple. Is this healthy, or am I prolonging some sort of grief I'm going to have to feel down the road?

Your approach to a breakup is like having your dog die and then, instead of burying it, having it taxidermied and taking it out for "walks"...
