Can I stay friends with the ex who cheated on me? (F19,M19)

I guess I just feel like it’d help us end on better terms, and especially cause I go to college with him, I don’t want things to be awkward seeing him around... also with being in the same major and everything, we can help each other if ever needed :/ I guess I’m just trying to justify a way to help with my dependency, and idk if slowly cutting off ties and not losing him completely would ease my anxieties. He seemed to care about our friendship but not our relationship obviously, and I wanna see if it’s still possible to go backwards and pretend our relationship never happened, since we rushed and didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into
