Ask yourself, what is the point of staying 'friends'? All a 'friendship' with him would do is remind you of what you want and can't have, what he himself is unwilling to give you. Worse, it will prevent you from moving on and finding someone who will want to be in a full relationship with you and will want you to be the only woman in his life, not the other woman.
This married man wants to keep you in his life, without all the emotional turmoil and possible risk to his marriage that a continued affair entails. It's about being able to enjoy those aspects of you that he likes without risking his own skin. He somehow wants to 'step back' to a point earlier in his affair with you that was entirely enjoyable for him and not stressful; hence the need for a continued 'friendship'. Realize that the boundaries of the friendship will be set by him, not by you---he knows you still love him and want to be with him, so you'll accede to whatever he wants in this 'friendship'---providing him with attention, being his confidant, occasional sex, etc. Keep in mind that this 'friendship' also means he is free to see other women, and to have affairs with other women in the same manner he had an affair with you.
The best way to protect your feelings and to truly move on is to make it clear to this married man: neither of you can go back to being 'friends'. Be firm that you feel that you two should have no further contact with each other, and reinforce this decision on your end by changing your phone numbers, email, etc. Do not allow yourself to be available to him, emotionally or physically, from now on.
