Does it ever work when ending a ual relationship, and becoming just friends..??

It can, but it's going to take major effort. I've only managed to do it once, and that's because his friendship was really, really important to me and it turns out mine was to him as well. Try to just turn off the for a while. Don't go over, just call and talk. If he asks you over or if he can come, make up something. It sounds dishonest, but before you can go from back to friendship, you have to revive that friendship first. Once he remembers what great friends you are and what great conversations you have, tell him that you'd rather not have . Tell him the way you were feeling used and that now that the is out of the picture, you don't feel that way.
