Is it possible to still be friends with your ex?

Question

i gotta admit it is pretty damn tough because i get the feeling holding and just kissing him but i have to tame myself.....

Answer 1

aww sweetie, trust me you'll be able to be friends with him. i'm 18 and i was with my girlfriend from when i was 13 to when i was 17 - FOUR YEARS! it was ridiculous, and for about 7 months everytime i saw her i wanted to cry and hug her and kiss her but she left me and i didn't have a choice. we've been broken up for a year now, and i have a girlfriend who i'm crazy about. she's my friend and we can still talk to each other and smile, knowing that what we had was good but it's just a memory now. if you want to be his friend, i would say give it some time, not too long but at least a few weeks so that when you talk to him, it wont be that hard. good luck and remember, we've all been through what you're going through :) we're here for you!

Answer 2

The answer is no, not right away. Only time will truly tell if you can be friends. I'm recently out of a 4 year serious relationship and I thought hey we can switch from lovers to friends over night...not the case. Emotionally it just takes time. As hard as it is for me to admit, the less you talk in the beginning of not being together any more is better. Good luck!

Answer 3

I know how you feel. It is tough. I'm still friends with all my ex's, except 1, because he totally ignores me. Yes u can still be freinds. It's just harder than a normal freindship because there was something more before then. Just watch your lines and your words, or passions could flare up again and drive u to do something u could regret later. just don't beg his attention, if he ignores u and don't talk 2 u, then move on. (i've only had 4 bfs)

Answer 4

of course it is! it may take a while tho 4 things 2 settle down between u aftr u had ur relationship but eventually things with loosen up between u and u'll b able 2 talk open and freely again 2 him as if he was one of ur m8s. don't worry there will always b some tension between u both in the beginning and tht is totally natural but u will both slowly 4get and become more open 2 each othr again just treat him the same as u treat all ur friends. good luck!

Answer 5

Its almost impossible, depends on how the relationship ended, if you still have feelings etc. You have to consider the feelings of any future partners though. You really gotta let go of the past if you REALLY want to move on.

Answer 6

we'll i am friends with my ex and yes i get those feelings to hen you just wanna say oh what the Hell I'm gonna rock your world!! but eventually you will find that those feelings slowly fade...they'll probably never go away but when your friends its soo much easier to talk to him and hang out and not having to worry about anything happening!

Answer 7

yea, a break up is just the sign of that you guys are not ment to be that close in a relationship, it doesn't mean you cant still be friends, im friends with my ex, so it can work you just have to make it work.

Answer 8

I know, im in the sme boat as you, we are just friends, i still have loads feelings for him, and i see him every school day in 3 classes... what you wanna call torture to the max...

Answer 9

It is possible if there is no romatic feelings. If you got them then you are in trouble. Keep reminding yourself why he is "ex". Or just get it out of your system sleep with him and you'll know.

Answer 10

You need to get over your ex before you can be friends with him... that means only talk to him online, and don't hang out with him till you're completely over him, or else it'll just make it that much harder. And assuming you pick good boyfriends to begin with, your exes will make good friends.
