of course... it's take maturity and respect from both sides, but it defintely can be done. you shared a lot with one person. it's awful to not have contact with them ever again.

You can, but it takes a lot of work and maturity. One of my best friends was my girlfriend for almost 6 years. After we broke up (we'd grown apart), we made sure to hang out from time to time. When it got awkward, we'd not see each other for a week or two. We made sure not to sleep together again, and not to use each other for emotional support over the breakup, so we got a little space between us. That was two years ago, and now we hang out all the time. She's awesome, and I'm really glad to have her as a friend (and we're both glad now that we broke up then).

Yes it is possible but it does take effort and a tolerance if there was a bad break up. In time you can become the best of friends and there in times of need for each other. It's great for the kids if got any

I could not become friends with my ex- I know myself and I would never be able to handle it..but some of my friends do it, and it works for them, I guess it depends on who you are and if you can handle it or not..But could you really look at another girl holding hands, or kissing the person you used to love so much???

I'm still friends with a few of the guys I dated in the past. You CAN be friends with your ex, if the relationship wasn't ended badly.

nope, you really can't still be friends. Don't get me wrong, you can always try to work it out but it won't work. One of you will always still have an emotional attachment, also when you finally find someone else, that someone may not be comfortable with you being friends with your ex, because it will always feel like a competition for your affection.

My ex cheated on me and did the guilt thing so he didn't want to have anything to do with me.. I forgave him though anyway and wanted to be friends and he actually laughed in my face... So I am thinking that regardless of the situation, walk away and forget friendship.. You deserve better then an "ex" anyway...

Yes! I was best friends with my hubby before we got married. Now we are in the process of divorce and we're still friends. Just because I don't love him anymore doesn't mean that I don't care about him as my friend. I want him to be happy, and he wants the same for me. We just know that we can't make eachother happy.
