we broke up...but can we still be friends?

It's all in the mind. One man says he can't and the other says he can't and guess who is right? Both of them because their mind dictates what they can and what they can't do. So, is it possible for you to be friends? The anwers is yes. The first step is to accept your situation. Just have a long heart to heart talk. It's important for you to talk it over and give each other a chance to be friends. Who knows if you guys are really meant to be then you are meant to be. Hope that helps.

i don't think so. i don't think it will be a health relation between you two. you love him and he loves you. but you two are just friends. how do you tell your boyfriend in future. the same question to him and his girlfriend. look before you leap.

For me, I wouldn't be friends with him anymore, since it would feel totally strange to me, and I would like feel really awkward around him. I don't think I would be ready to be his friend yet. Maybe someday I would be, but not now, not immediately.

i believe you can still be friends. so when you guys broke up, did you talk well? i have had two failed relationships and after a while we did became friends. the other one we spoke 2 years after.. now we send messages to each other in a friendly way... the other one (latest) was just about 4 months ago.. we have talked just last week, though he wanted us to try it again.. i said no and we are better of being friends... he said we can still be friends and would be sending messages to each other and would still go out at times with other common friends... so its just how you guys break up... if there is really no other person involved... you can start talking to each other again and still be friends after all you have been through.

Or course, you can still be friends and enjoy each other's company. It happened to me. Things like this all boils down to both of you. Being together again as friends is a choice to make. It's all up to the two of you. Good luck my friend.

i think you can still be friends but you cannot bring back the old times....and of course it will deeply hurt you, so i suggest better not to be friends coz it's complicated....

i know it is always tough to move on. But still people find the way to move. actually there is no harm in being friend with ex. but this can be done with caution. see that it does not affect the other persons amy be your or his next love? is he also ready?

i think so... it depends on your personality. if you can forgive and forget and just be friends type of person then i think you can. i have a few friends and they are my ex-boyfriends. we still talk a lot. one of them is a godfather of my first born. we are not better as a couple but sure we are cool as friends.

You could still be friends. But it will take some time for it to heal. I have broken up with my girlfriend right now, and I'm waiting for the time for us to talk.

The decision will always be yours. If you think that it's still reasonable to become friends with him, then why not. Be sure that you will not regret if you prefer to become friends with him despite of the past relationship you experienced with him.:-)

i don't think.are you sure you love him or he loves you?in my opinion,it is a problem,boyfriends or girlfriends are not good friends,they are lovers in fact.

yes dear i still think you'll can infact be very good friends. well i would not have advised this if youll were seeing each other every single day but in a distance relationship it is easier. What you could do is just be goo dfriends try to start your own lives and when you do meet next take it from there my dear. wish you all the best

I think it is complex.I don't belive that you can be friends. Love is not equal to friend.when you contact with each other,what emotion do you have. I love my first lover very much,but now I feel hard to face him and his gf.I can't accept the change,although I know that he also loves me. when I face him or something concerning him,I will feel my heart hurt and tipping. I can't bear it. So I think keep a distance with him. He stands for your past,we should look ahead,is that right? We live for the future.
