It's possible, especially when there are children involved. When both are willing to respect each other, and not hold on to being hateful or resentful.
You can love someone, and not be in love with them. If you both appreciate each other for who they are, and the things you learned from each other, it is easier.
I learned to accept him for who he is, with all his imperfections, and even though the things he did were bad, he was not all bad. He had good qualities, or I would have never been attracted to him.
You can't change a person, they have to be ready and willing. If there was too much hurt, it's okay to forgive, but that doesn't mean you are willing to go down the same road together.
This has to be a mutual agreement, and not be a selfish way of still being hopeful into reconciling.
It may also not be long term, if either one lets a third person, come between their friendship. But, again when there are children involved, there is no other choice, but to be able to communicate effectively, w/o all the drama.

I think it's hard to get over really loving someone and then trying to have a relationship that is just friendship. Whatever stopped the relationship from going further, would be a friendship breaker. Unless you both decide that you like each other as friends, but as lovers it's just not good thing. One sided-no-no. If he has told you that he just wants to be friends, kick him to the curb and move on as fast as you can. You sound like the idea hurts, so why put yourself through it! Time will take care of it but in the mean time get real busy and find something else to do.

it doesnt work. u cant go out wit someone and expect to be friends after sure the people say that they are friends but really both people dont want anything to do wit each other or one just doesnt want to be around the other person for wat happened. the only way this works is if both people are honest and truthful and say how they really feel and fix things. once some one loves someone else it is never the same between them. remember that. cause if u dont u can get hurt.

This isn't something you need to worry about. When they tell you we can remain friends upon a breakup, it means it's over. Just move on.

You can't. You don't get over people you remain involved with.
