Beth, I think you did the right thing. Even if it feels like you got slammed with a frying pan. If you realized that you don't really want to be friends, I think the only way to get over him is to completely cut off all contact. Not as a technique or as a "going dim"... as a way to move forward. Because from my understanding, that's what you want to do!
It is strange, after all this pain, to realize there is even more. But you are moving forward!!!!!!
