You could be depending on how it ended, and how far into the relationship it had gone. Then you have to also take into account if the person wants to continue as a friend. But then the good question is also why it didn't work out in the first place: were they good boyfriends/girlfriends in the first place? Why didn't it work? In a relationship they should be as much of a friend then as ever. Can they be good friends after the fact? I on the fence on that one.

You can't be friends. There is too much between lovers to actually be friends after it doesn't work out. Neither wants to hear about a new love interest or any of the other things that go along with a new love relationship. It won't work even though it is nice to say.

It is a personal choice and depends on the mental make up of the people involved. Sometimes two people are meant to be friends and nothing else. In such a case it is better off to be friends than go away. Otherwise, if you feel the need to have the person around, you can have them as friends.

Well... that is a good question...
I am currently going through this right now.. I was seeing this guy.. and it was going well..then some issues came up.. and I decided that there was too many obstacles ... so I ended the relationship... and he is having a hard time with it.. I feel bad.. but.. like Sugar land says... I ain't settling for just getting by.. had enough so so for the rest of my life..
So the answer to your question is... I think it takes alot to be able to stay friends... alot of it has to do with the maturity of the people involved...

Not relly. You may try, but it doesnt work. Its just a way to continue the relationship so you dont have to deal with the pain of losing someone you cared about. Better to get it over. No need to become mortal enemies, but socializing will cause more pain.

Yes, why not. Better to keep as a friend than to lose the person forever. Love a person means you want the best for the person, sometimes you are just not the right chemistry.

Me and my ex split up maybe 2 years ago, we are still as great friends as we were before, but with some people, it doesnt work like that, which is a shame :(

Of course! Obviously if the relationship ended badly then no, but not all relationships do. If you end on good terms and there are not lingering feelings for each other there is no reason you can't still be friends.

Yes, I am very good friends with 2 of my ex boyfriends. Some people think it's strange (for example, my current boyfriend). But I know my ex's very well, so I feel very comfortable being close with them in a platonic way.

not in my experience...it just makes it a lot harder to let go and move on. also, its really hard to deny the feelings you have for someone, even after you feel like you're "over it." it sucks, cos you want to stay friends, and you think it can work, but for the most part, it just leads to more pain.
