We broke up a few weeks ago but we have seen each other almost everyday since. We agree we need this break b/c we get to the fork in the road and can't get past it. We want to remain friends of coarse but I know we need time apart to get past our emotional ties before we can have a platonic friendship. Is this really a good idea?
When we are together we can't seem to make it work when we are apart we can't stay away from each other...we have the most complicated relationship. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Yes being friends after a breakup is a good idea so long as you both are on the understanding that that is all it's going to be. But I can see that you still have some feelings for eachother which does make it complicated. If this is the case then I really would recommend you think about what you really want. Do you really want to try again or not. If you are certain that the best way forward is to not be involved with your ex again then I suggest you meet new friends and avoid your ex as much as possible. Otherwise all you will be doing is prolonging and the agony which will do you both no good.

OH YEAH I'm sorry to hear about this.
Yes I have been in the exact same situation. We saw each other on a regular basis after we broke up....Eventually it just peetered out, but it still hurt a great deal. We never talk anymore unless it's on a birthday or something. What I'm getting at is nature will take it's course. If it was meant to be it will be if not it won't. Go with your intuition.

The platonic relationship will get very tough if either of you start seeing someone else... It always seems to work on on a friend basis until that happens, especially if you still have feelings for each other.

i went through a similar thing and know others that have too.
I think that you can be friends. My ex is my best friend and my roommate and my boyfriend thinks that hes an awesome guy, though i do have a laid back boyfriend.
Know though that since it's a recent breakup good chance is that one of you is going to want to get back together, or you both may and that can get hard and trying.
good luck

Yes I have been in that same situation before...you can't be friends..it doesn't work out. You think it does at the beginning but trust me it just gets bad...it's hard to be friends with someone you have been intimate with, I mean real friends. Especially if you see the other one with someone else...which will eventually happen.

yes i keep goring back to the same men and does not get no better you can be friends but soon or later you wanted more so if its meant to be then it will be if not then move on to love and friend all in one because you need more then a friend sometimes

im pretty sure everyone has this. its life. my advice is dont be friends right away, because your going to get jeolous if they go out with someone else. give it a few months before you hang out with them.
