Is normal for a Taurus man to want to keep you as a friend when they break up with you?

I normally block and stop talking exes, thats why I am so conflicted now. He broke up with me and told he has feelings and that hurting. But I find that so hard to believe. Anyways I think he wants to stay friends out guilt. I’ve never been in situation before.
But that’s what he chose when he broke up with me. I don’t think it’s going to be healthy in the long run to still have him in my life. Do people do that normally? How would that even work ? I think it’s nice guy syndrome personally, he doesn’t want to feel bad that he hurt me this much.
I'm still friends or colleagues with my ex's. I actually just saw my first ex for the first time in like 5 years over the weekend and all is fine. I went to the wedding of my other ex fairly recently. Another ex of mine gave birth to their first child and I was invited to their baby shower. I don't know, I just don't like the idea of cutting someone completely out of my life unless I have a solid reason to. Note that some of these ex's I broke up with or vice versa. If there's open communication and honesty and no ill will, I don't see the point of burning ANY bridge.
I see my dozen harem ex on the daily & we’re cool plus I got shiiit to do
I hope to get to that place where it’s okay for me to keep people in my life. But I always think there will always be apart of me waiting to be get together.
How long were you together?

I mean in this you should really be focusing on how you feel. do you look at him like a friend or more? and if more, then ask yourself "is this going to hurt to want something that doesn't currently want you" - im sure it will.

I think people stay friends can say that after a lot of time has passed. such as you need to remove him from your life while you heal from the heartbreak, and grow away from him and toward something or someone else. then in time when you nolong feel attached you can revisit the friendship and care on as friends with a history.
