Betterdays, I agree with everyone here about this relationship having run it's course. You do not sound good for each other.
If you care about this man, and he is happier without you, then please do as her asks and leave him be. It will be hard on you, but it's the best gift you can give him.
Also, take it from the voice of experience: if you try to be friends with him, it will cause you emotional hurt in the long run. You can't be friends with someone you are trying to manipulate into getting back together. Even if he has some confused, unresolved feelings for you, I suggest being the strong one here, and moving on.
You will find someone with whom you do not have old baggage and can start fresh with a new, more mature love! :-)
