Some people claim that they are still friends after a broken marriage or relationship. I have known peole who has just separated from a long-time relationship, but that, they could not help throwing invectives at the mere mention of their ex's name.

of course yes...you started as friends and you might as well as end with it..friendship is the greatest thing on earth.You both shared a life and i think those chapters in your journey should be treasured and that includes the friendship..you can be friends but not really instantly..both should learn to move on...let bygones be bygones.. learn to forgive and forget

Why not? If friendship truly is a base of most relationships then I do not see the problem. Think of it as a pyramid. If the top level (relationship) deteriorates, then you should still have the base (friendship). However, in some cases, if the break up has that much of an impact and the base is too weak to suffice, then the whole pyramid collapses.
So to answer your question... is it possible? Yes of course. But there are other conflicting factors. Most can be resolved with time away from each other.
Good Luck

It really depends on what kind of people the two of you are and why it didn't work between you two. I was friends with both my ex's before we started dating and we're friends now that it's over. It takes some time but if it's your goal, at some point the friendship you had kicks back in.

Yes its possible but it all depends on how the relationship ended. Its gets easier as time goes by to become friends with them again. I never held a grudge against an ex. I talk to them when i run into them. Its easier to be an adult about things and just move on with your life,

Hehee :-) I married my ex.
I honestly think it all depends on why you broke up in the first place. I think I would have a hard time being nice though if someone cheated on me and then broke up with me. Other than that, Yeah, I don't see any reason you couldn't be friends, other than maybe they're not good for you (like drug and alchohol problems and such) and you'd be scared to be attracted to them again.

My ex asked if we 'could be friends' since he left me three months ago, but now says 'its too confusing to be friends'. He's the one that did it all too!
So no - I don't think its a good idea until enough time / distance etc has been put between you. Its impossible if either one of you still has feelings.

in spite of if we are nonetheless married, my husband and that i have lived separate lives for over 2 years. in simple terms as you suggested, in the starting up we stayed aside and it replaced into awkward to keep up a correspondence. yet now we are waiting to communicate on the phone and if we could do criminal or economic issues in individual, we are both nicely behaved or perhaps make one yet another chortle. in simple terms because you split it does no longer advise that the man doesn't nonetheless have those similar features you fell in love with. It in simple terms means you be conscious of them more advantageous in detail, and in doing so, got here across they weren't the precise proper tournament for you. strong success.

I think it depends on the people. I am not best friends with my ex but we can communicate for the sake of our daughter. I think if you want to for whatever reason then you can.
