Getting back or staying as friends?

duate June 29th, 2017

My boyfriend broke up with me 2 weeks ago. It was because we hanged out but I didn't let my parents know he was gonna join me. but it's more than just that...In our 4 month dating relationship, i did have some insecurities and worries that i was gonna lose him. because we were heading off on separate colleges and my parents did tell me that they wanted me to focus in school and that high school dating was wrong timing. but i loved him very much and he really has the character worth admiring. and he loved me too and promised me i wouldn't lose him. anyway. he found out through my parents telling him what i did wrong and said to me that he can't be with someone who dishonors their family like that. he was hurt too, because he saw me hiding my worries inside and not opening up to him. i was so scared to open up to him because i didn't want to add my stress into his life, into our relationship. he has given me time to rebuild my family relationship and says that one day we'll inevitably meet again. he's unsure about starting a relationship with me again because of college and the distance between our colleges (diff states) and he's scared i'll hurt his trust again. but i've been rebuilding and healing and at some point i want to meet with him again. he's considering friendship with me, and if that's what makes him happy, i'm happy with it too. i'm never going to show him any animosity or arrogance when we meet again, because i don't believe that's loving or kind and he doesn't deserve that. he's a wonderful man, he has a heart of gold and has great values...should i even consider entering a relationship with him again? he told me he still has feelings for me so that is quite confusing. and if we stay as friends, how do i keep my own feelings aside and move past our former relationship experiences/memories/past? thanks y'all!
