What a wonderfully romantic question... tough one, too. Takes a lot of work because you have the issue of what happened to change the feelings of the depth of your love for each other. Eros (intimate love) between us and our mates leaves a brand that burns deeper than Philio (brotherly, plutonic love). I guess that is why being friends FIRST and having the friendship blossum into a more intense love is so great becasue no matter what there is a foundation of why you both LIKED each other - minus all the fluff.

I'm not sure what you mean- maybe provide more details to find the answer your looking for. If you're just trying to poll I don't think one can exist without the other- and if love means dating if you weren't friends to begin with you won't be after but if you were friends you should still be friends after unless something unforgivable ended the relationship...

There can be anything you want. The world is made up of a lot of people---millions of us are out there. How we act everyday and under different conditions varies by that number of people. I can be friends with an ex---I see them all everday--I am not about to move out of town because I went with someone and broke up. Of course I don't treat people like crap or give them a reason not to be friends. it's life---you fall in and out of love with lots of people. Of course the people who can't be friends probably did something real lousy and are too ashamed to show their face. It is a question of maturity, nothing else. So just smile and don't worry about it.

I think it might take a while, but yeah, it can happen. I agree also that it depends on how and why it ended. Timing is everything too. If you try to get regrouped too soon after the breakup, then you'll only open all wounds.

Yes I was married for 30 years to a good woman. We had children- and after they were growen and on their own. We had nothing in common, so we divorced. We are good friends. She has remarried but we still go to familly functions togather and are still good friends. I still love her. We just can't live togather.

Its not necessary. It usually ends up getting kind of mixed up coz its kinda hard to set limits. Its not worth the bother trying.

Hmmm the things we do as friends we can still go onto do as lovers. But the kinda things we indulge as lovers can never be repeated again as friends. So its not easy to accept.

Yes, but it is very tricky and needs to be given great care and sensitivity. You are not exactly what you used to be, but your history binds you in way that can't be denied,
