If yes, what did you do to achieve that? And please don't say you have to "give it time" or "space away from each other" cuz I don't have those luxuries.

yes it is possible, and the best way to do it is to just do it

I went through a phase where I hated him, then wanted him back... We tried but failed to work out the relationship and then just kept our distance and dated other people. Through this time we both didn't realise that we were maturing and learning from each other as well as from other people. Now we are best of friends and can talk to each other about anything no matter how bad. Btw he was here half an hour ago to show me his new car. It's a long process but you learn something from it and in the end, makes you and your ex better people

Is this an ex-wife or girlfriend? The Wives to take a while to get back and friendly with. With my ex we were cordial with eachother after the divorce, but were speaking som about 8 months after she moved out. Unfortunatly it does take time. Actually, she called me twice tonight for advise and we still have the same friends so we occaisonally even end up at the bars together.

Yes, when i want to get back with my ex i just remember the reason we broke up in the first place.
Or go on the rebound and if that doesn't work ..... go on the rebound.
Its hard to see your bf/ gf and know what you two had shared but remember that their are lots of fish in the sea, and you should start catching a few because so that you can find the one for you.

It is possible, but it is really hard. You have to have a lot of strength, because it is so easy to fall back into old habits. Maybe for a bit, dont spend an incredible amount of time alone with each other - have other friends around. In addition, make sure that you are out dating and that they are too. Other then that, I dont know what to tell you!

Yes I am friends with a couple of ex's but they still want to sleep with me and given the chance, they would have me back so i don't know how good a friendship it really is. Its more like, they are still hanging on to the relationship and being friends might make me realize and come back to them. I don't think its healthy to see them often because of that so I remain friendly but not close friends.

Not only no, but don't even try. Been there, done that, and had the disappointment of a lifetime. Cut your losses and move on. Its not a luxury, time heals all wounds. ITS HARD, I know.

well, i think that it is possible but that has a lot to do with how your relationship ended and a mutual respect for each other......i've remained friends with several of my exes......of course these are people that i would never go back down that road with them again and there is no sexual attraction so that made it more than easy

It depends on how it ended. If it ended on good terms then just give him a call and see if he just wants to hang out and watch a movie or maybe go out for coffee. Don't talk about anything that had happened between you to. Talk about other stuff.
If it ended on bad terms then it might not work out.

Well, I dunno... I still talk to my ex, we're on friendly terms. We didn't do anything specific to "achieve" it; the break-up was traumatic, but we didn't end up hating each other - maybe because both of us took our share of blame. I wouldn't "hang out" with him or anything - I am married again now, and he has his own life as well; but if I needed help, he would be one of the people I could count on to help me without expecting anything in return. So, in this sense, I guess you could say we're "friends".
