They say ex bf/gf can still be friends after only if they parted without problems but in your case you can be friends but it is awkward to be friend your ex and you two did not even have an official break up. There would be some tension and uneasiness to each other so better not but if you can forget what happened in the past despite of what you have said then it is up to you although it also depends on the guy whether you are ok with it --- the question is how about the guy? is he over it? It would not be appropriate to open up things in the past unless you are cool with it too..

i don't know if he is over it. i tried to talk to him to sort things out but the last minute he told me that he can't go. i'm still close with his family when i invited them to our house if there's an occasion, he won't come. does that mean he isn't over it yet? he already has a girlfriend which he had chosen over me and they've been together for a year now. ever since they were together he still refuses to communicate with me like before. honestly i misses him and the friendship we had. i started texting him again saying we were still friends, he would just ask how i was doing or ask his brother to ask me how i was doing.

I guess, it depends on how you parted, if you agreed that you will still be friends after you have broken up, well, it's good. But maybe it will take time before you get over the pain of losing someone. When I and my first boyfriend parted, we didn't not mind each other whenever we see at any place. be it at the mall or just in the streets nearby. But after a year or so, we became nodding acquaintance and get to talk once in a while. Unlike my second boyfriend, we parted with a heavy heart, we bumped each other in a mall, he just looked at me and turned his back away, as if, he didn't know me. I guess it was his foolish pride that made him disregard me. It was me who call it quits, and he can't take it that someone like me dumped him.

There was really never the closure, at least for me, with my last breakup. We were together for almost 4 years. As soon as I was packed I headed back to my home state. The way it ended, I really don't think we could be friends again, it would not work. I am friends with my ex-husband however, but we have both moved on since our divorce, and it didn't happen over night. About a year after I moved to another city after our seperation, we started talking again. Now I live 45 miles from where he does, and I get along with him and his girlfriend.
