Is is possible to be a friend with your ex, specially when there was betrayal, humiliation and abuse in the past?
what do you think?

For what?? what's the purpose?? forgive and forget and move on... don't dwell on the past.. it's easier that way..

I don't think it's possible given the circumstances. While I remained friends with Hubby #1 (no abuse suffered and separated amicably), hubby #2 was different. Suffered through the verbal and physical abuse. Once those feelings of betrayal, lack of trust, and especially humiliation exist... you've gotta sever the ties that bind. People like that don't want friends, they want people they can control.

Yes, its possible to be friends with your ex. I'm friends with two of mine. In one case there was betrayal as you call it, and in another just a case of a change of thinking.

If there are children involved it is essential to be civil & not bad-mouth each other.
But if there are no children, what reason would you have?

I don't think that you can be a friend with your ex.
