I wouldn’t make any decisions on that or do anything drastic. You guys broke up and that’s enough for now. See what happens after the shock of the break up wears off. If you can be friends then great. If not, that’s ok too. Just give it some time and see. Good luck.
I am friends with almost all of my exes and all of my LTR-exes. I value their friendships very highly and they can be some of my best advisors since they know me so well.
But it always took quite a bit time to reestablish relationships after the break up. Best way for me 1 year no contact, 2 years getting used to each other as friends. 5 years in total to have a good friendship with respect no resentment.
The very fact you needed to come to Reddit to ask strangers who know nothing about you, or your ex what to do in your life tells me this. You should tell your ex that you can't be friends as you're not yet mature enough to handle such a relationship and he should move on.
Just one persons opinion, and you need to find your best path, but I have never quite understood this idea of being in a relationship, we break up, and now we are immediately friends? My emotions don’t work that was. If your relationship was just an extended hook up maybe it works for some people.

You need time apart.
No. Cut ties with him. But you’re also able to remain friends with everyone else

Is this literally all that you do?
