Lets be friends

To be honest I think maintaining a good friendship with an ex would be a difficult ting to do. If the break up was amicable and both parties agreed that a split was the best thing, then I think a friendship is possiblee. Otherwise I think it may be too difficult.

I guess it depends on how bad was the breakup, if you have forgiven each other, and how long has it been since the breakup. If it was just a couple of days or weeks ago, then I would suggest that you take the time away from the ex and heal your heart. Experiencing a bad breakup is really stressful, so just to lessen the pain and stress, stay far from the ex for the meantime. For you to be friends in the future, it's also important that you have forgiven each others' faults (and probably say sorry to each other as well). Forgiveness is an important step in healing and removing past hurts. I believe that if you still harbor ill feelings towards each other you will never really become friends. Becoming friends with an ex is actually possible, but you should undergo what I've said above. I hope my advice makes sense to you.

It is better to be friends (if possible after a hard breakup) than bitter enemy. But seems unlikely because friendship also requires almost an equal amount of trust. I would say be good to her when you meet but do not think much about her as past is past.

I think that they should be friends. But if you really dont want to be with him anymore, or being with him shouldn't happen again, maybe because he is a cheater, a batterer, etc, then I suggest that you wouldn't go out with him, just be friends. Because if you do, there is a big possibility that you will go back together, as what I have experienced.

if you talking for hard break up well its not easy for that to accept it takes time to heal and move on. well its better to end up as a friend than you hate each other.

Hi,kae06_tigger! I think it's possible for an ex-partners to become friends after a hard breakup,if they want to.Some ex-lovers just hate each other and are unwilling to talk after they break up.It is good to have your ex as a friend sometimes.My ex is one of my best friends now.He knows a lot about me and I know a lot about him,too.We've known each other for 12 years.And I cherish this kind of friendship.When I feel sad or happy,I always talk to him about that.And he knows some of my little secrets.I am not afraid of telling him anything.He is really a good listener.This really feels awesome.Thinking about that,once he broke my heart after dumping me.I couldn't get over him for six years.We are each other's first love and was pretty naive at that time.Now we are all grown-ups and things have changed.We agreed to be the best friends forever. And one of my friends in high school,she has had several boyfriends who remain her friends after they broke up. Sometimes we break up just because we can't fit in with each other.But that doesn't mean we can't learn anything from each other.So if we can't be lovers,being friends sometimes will also be a good choice. Have a nice day!

It's difficult to say that it's appropriate or not for different people have different choices .But it's possible to be friends with your ex-parters because you know each other very well but if you dont want then dont keep in touch any more so you can forget each other easily.
