Tis indeed a sad situation...They say that you never know what you have till it's gone. Your situation leaves 2 predicaments
1. We know it's difficult to let go...but your longing for him blinds you from searching for a new love interest. We say this because either you refuse to look...or your comparing other possible lovers to your EX.
2. It's hard remaining friends with a former lover...Not many have the strength to do it. It some cases one will suffer through such situations in hopes that your EX comes crashing and burning in their existing relationship...and comes crawling back on a rebound...If this is indeed your hope..then you must pull away
If however you can cope with just friendship...Then indeed try..the good thing is that you at least have a portion of the love that you have always had.... Refrain from being with your EX when they are around their new lover...Give it time to heal broken wounds...If your friend loves you ..they will accomodate
Fate deals odd hands at times..but if love is meant to be on it's own...In the meantime enjoy life and you may find new love....They say your true love is everywhere except where you look...
Now here is a hug and a cookie from DW...hope one of them makes you smile....
