He also told me before we started dating, if we broke up we would always be friends. Is there a chance that you can still be friends with your ex and act polite toward one another? Please give some examples.

Yeah it can happen especially if there are children involved. In that case you want to at least be civil for the kids sakes. In my case we did not have any kids but we were friends long before we ever thought about marriage and despite a short very awkward period we are friends again now. It does help that he is not around here and is a long distance trucker so we only talk on the phone and rarely see each other in person. In fact he just called me an hour or so ago asking me how my weekend went with another guy..LOL We have always been open like that and when he was sick a few weeks ago and in a hospital 2 and a half hours away, I went down there to help him. Just because we are not together does not mean that we cannot still be friends and be there for one another. I am glad that part is still intact.

Sometimes it takes a little more time for some then others to get over the hurt of a broken relationship. Just back off the friendship for a while and dont call him for a few weeks. He will have time to think...and he will be thinking why you havent called or written etc...He will come around or, well maybe he just isnt the best one to be friends with. HEY...GOOD LUCK

I don't know about being "friends" in a true sense of this word - but yes, one can be in a civil relationship with an ex. My former spouse and I talk regularly, we don't have any animosity towards each other (been separated and divorced for almost 6 years now).

it type of feels as although some one above is searching for you. that is as if those major judgements are being made for you. He broke it off with you... i imagine you may evaluate your self fortunate and blessed! i imagine in case you had married him, issues does not have replace. maximum likely he might want to have persevered to regulate you the abusive way he did once you dated. you've heard the putting forward, " a leopard by no potential adjustments his spots". Now he needs you decrease back.To him issues were greener on the different area of the fence. maximum likely he replaced into seeing someone decrease back then even as he replaced into seeing you and made the alternative to end it with you and flow consisting of her. Now apparently like he reaped what he had sowed and he or she dumped him and now lonely he needs to bounce the fence again decrease back to you. that is purely hypothesis on my area. in any case the scripture says, A double minded guy is volatile in all his procedures. (James a million:8 KJV). i don't believe of there is any ingredient incorrect with being his chum, yet if you end up making it more effective than that, you may want to nicely be making a huge mistake. desire that permits you. trust contained in the LORD with all of your heart, and do not lean on your human being know-how. In all of your procedures renowned him, and he will make immediately your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV)

Friendship always ends in love...but love to friendship never! That's what other people say before...but now when both man and woman become so liberated in their ways...then i would say it's possible...depending on how you accept the situation between you and your ex. Remember...that ...all's well that ends well!

just be really nice to him and just try to earn his friendship back. you seem like a sweet girl, so i dont think he will have any problem being your friend again. just might take a little while for him to get over his heartache.

well, for me, it is hard (and akward) to be friends with my ex's. it just isn't the same. but if its been 5 months, he should be starting to come around. sounds like you shouldnt have anything to do with him.

According to his rules you can. Set your own rules and stop listening to what he says or thinks.
