I believe that if the relationship was as serious as you claimed it to be, then the two of you should definitely become friends. And no, after one becomes involved with with someone else, the friendship should not lessen. Just because the two of you have broken up, it doesn't mean that you should forget about the love that the both of you shared, so I believe that you should become best friends, you never know, there are a lot of things that could benefit from this opportunity like:1) there will be an opportunity that the two of you could get back together2) you will get to know him better and you will get to know somethings about him that you already didn't know about him, that will give your friendship a chance to grow!

My ex husband and I remained best friends for years (19 in fact). When he met his new girlfriend just recently, she decided that the relationship he and I had made her uncomfortable and he has backed away from me. I think he felt that he had to make choices that would make her feel more secure about them. I believe that these kind of relationships are no different than others. Sometimes you outgrow each other and travel different paths. Just a fact of life.

I personally do not think this is a go.
I no there would be a problem if I had a male around whom I treated as a friend. Spending time with that person instead of the Mr.
I would not like him hanging around another women...
Just opens the door to problems. I do not think it is a trust issue with your mate it is a human problem. We are just human....

I'm still friends with all my past relationships, they knew from the start that I was not looking for a long term relationship or that I was not ready for a deep relationship.

the respond is certain they are able to. The seize with it extremely is that it extremely is plenty rarer than maximum individuals could choose for to have self belief. countless adult adult males will conform to only being acquaintances in the initiating so they are able to get to be attentive to and do stuff with the female to be certain in the event that they actually like them. in the event that they do, then they attempt to circulate the relationship to "extra suitable than acquaintances". Or there are additionally some adult adult males that attempt to only be acquaintances with a woman and as quickly as there'll become a closeness with them, then they the two substitute their thoughts in direction of them or mistake this for extra suitable than it extremely is and issues come out. You boyfriend is jealous because of the fact he's usual with that probable ninety% of the so-pronounced as "only acquaintances" relationships is the two bogus (on one area) or ought to grow to be extra down the line.

Some can...but I think most people (including myself) find it next to impossible go from platonic to catatonic and back to platonic again.
Personally, i think most people who claim the ability to remain friends with former lovers are actually fooling themselves and secretly carry a flame for the former lover.
