We lived together for the last 4 years of the relationship, at 6 years he proposes and then at 7 years he falls for a girl at work. he doesn't tell me any of this and that last year i was sooooooooo preoccupied with graduating from a doctoral program that i started to neglect our relationship. He left and never even told me why, i found out through someone else, and then he strung me along for a few months while he decided who he wanted. Ultimately he chose her, and after going through that all i should hate his guts, but for the 8 years we were together, our romantic relationship was never so strong, i never felt like he was really in love with me, but our friendship, to me was like no other, i NEVER thought we'd never speak again, and he told me while we were still together no matter what happens we'll always be in each others lives. I've given him space to persue his new relationship, and now he really wants nothing at all to do with me. I just don't know how to let him go??

I know you want to. You really miss your ex. Go ahead and see if it works. Good luck.

If you know the word Possible... then make sure you know the meaning...
Life has it's ups and downs, never will it be easy, but how do we know if we don't even try?
It might be hard straight after a breakup, but time heals the living soul, keep in touch and let time guide you, let time show you the possibilities...
You might want an answer now, but I'm afraid every one has a waking up time... you'll need to go through enough to see what's a head of you, so just ride this wave for now and see where it might lead you.
Stay strong and good luck.

best friends would be hard. but friends that don't talk about relationships is possible. i was engaged to my high school sweetheart we were together for 7 years and it didn't work out. he decided not to get married. that was 10 years ago and we took about a year and started talking again and now we are good friends and talk about everything.

I would like to say yes BUT I don't believe that it is possible. You can be civil and even friendly but not friends. The word "friends" may have a different meaning to me.
Think about seing him/her with their new signifigant other?
Think about knowing he/she is getting married?
How are these times going to TRULEY make you feel? Are you happy or are you depressed?
Now, think about your life. Your new signifigant other..is he/she going to be comfortable with you being FRIENDS with your ex of 8 years? Will they care if you are on the phone with them or go to mall with them? More then likely, they will have issues with it and cause the relationship to fail.
No. I don't think it is possible to be FRIENDS with an ex.

It is possible to be friends only after you know that your heart is completly over that person because if not you open yourself up for more heartbreak.

DUH! just act cool around him/her. most likely you guys wont be able to be close friends but regular friends sure, it also depends on your break up if someone cheated or foul language was being thrown around too much it most likely wont work.it also depends on the level of comfort.
