Could ex-lovers be friends?

It is hard sometimes sweetie, but ex-lovers can be very good friends. Just try a bit harder. It is someone you know for a long time and that is a good starting point. But, if it keeps on hurting you like this, just stay away from him then. TATA.

Yes i think they can but it seldom happens and not working in most failed relationship. The fact that the break up happens in most painful ways imaginable like she or he betrayed his partner by having relationship with other woman...that would be very difficult to remain friend with someone who hurt you so badly. Normally you want to stay away with that person to not be reminded of the painful memories you shared together. Even if the relationship is full of happy moments together it only takes one mistakes to delete it all. And honestly I don't want to be reminded with the person who betray my heart or see her face again.

It depends on how they are separated. There are lovers who break up but that is a mutual decision so at one time when they meet in the road, they can look on each other and greet each other. If the separation is worst, like they gone to many fights before they finally decide to break up, then the chances is stiff for them to be friends. Moreover, one more thing, if the pain is already healed and they are happy with their situation in life at present they can be friends. Surely, one will be willing to be friends with the other.

Good day to you lilmuchang, For me, it is possible for an ex-lovers to become friends. But it depends upon the situation. If the lovers broke-up because of unreasonable matter, as for me, it needs the proper healing. However, if they broke-up and settle things in order, that is the time, they might become friends easily. Hence, they can set aside the things to their past. Different situation can somehow dictates the ex-lovers if they can become friends because there are times, the people that surrounds them also affects. And not to mention, the pride or the ego that we have, sometimes, this attitude affects our decision if we will going to get-in-touch again to our ex-lover.

To me, its totally different when i broke up with my ex thats it thats the end of the relationship. I do not remember that afte i broke up them we are friends.What i do remember is tat after i broke up wiht them is that i don not want to see them,no contact end of everything lol.And i will start a new one.

Lovers to friends? That seems impossible and of course, it is STUPID. Face reality, how could you be friends with the one whom you love the most? Think again :P

Well i'm familiar with such a kind of situation when we want to stick to our partners but the things dont go the way we wanted to resulting in misunderstanding among the two. It really affects the sweetness and charm of the relation. So I guess at that time the both partners should take time to sit together and discuss the matter and if both really thinks that the relationship will possibly not work well in futut=re then there should be a mutual decision of both to get out of it. But breaking up doesn't mean that we should have some hard feelings for our ex rather it should end at a happy ending and why not .. we can be friends with our ex-partners.

As far as your title goes I do not think that I can ever be friends with my ex-ver without all the good or the bad thoughts in the back of my mind. I really feel sad for you but if you love the person so much I feel that sometimes you have to sacrifice some things and it is always the girl who does it. Why don't you find out the reason why you'll have lost out on the love between the two of you'll. Maybe you can rekindle your love maybe HE IS THE ONE. God bless you and may all the problems between you too get sorted out.

I believe that ex lovers can be friends as long as they are not stepping anyone's shoes and they know their limitations. But if they both have new relationship or just even one of them has new already and their frienship will just cause problems to that new relationship, then I think they should not be friends anymore and so that all of them can move on.

I am sorry about your boyfriend. The question which you asked has the two sides o a coin. Depending upon your feelings and emotions i don't think you could be friends with him anymore but i am sure that even you won't be able to forget him also. Me and my ex had a fight at the first over why she didn't accept me but later on i moved on and now we are just friends though i like to stay apart from her i can't stop thinking about her every single day.

Yes. I am still friends with several of my ex boyfriends... of course, it was a bit easier because by the end of our relationships we knew we weren't meant to be more than friends. In your case, if you feel that your heart will be broken by the break-up, you might have to give yourself some time to heal before seeing him again. On the other hand, if he has hurt you repeatedly and makes you suffer, are you sure that it is worth keeping him in your life? There are MILLIONS of people in this world... if you've found one that is unhealthy for you, then why not be friends with someone who makes you feel good?

no one knows exactly who is really their soul mate, it just their own believe that their current girl or boyfriend will be their partner in entire life. And my opinion, if you think your relationship is worth to be maintained, then don't let it go, if you think, it will only hurt you more and more, then let it go. We love not hurt each other, we love each other because we believe we will have happy ending together :D. Aside from that, love is always come and go, it just matter of time. the real problem is in you, will you open your hearts to love again? or to close it forever? and have you ever consider what is the purpose of having relationship before married? i think it is to find best partner to accompany you in entire of your life. If you find out the current partner is not the best, then find the new one. do not regret when you married wrong partner. It will end you up in divorce. That's why before married, make sure he is the best for you.

For me it depends on the situation and to the guy/gal... cause when I and my boyfriend break up we decided to be friends and he accepted it. So until now he is a good friend of mine. we have been commenting each other. But we never opened the things that we had before.

it's good to be friends with your ex if you'll break your relationship in a good way, otherwise it's non sense

I get on better with my ex's as friends than I did whenerver we were together, if it is a mutual agreement then thats should work butif one is living in hopethat they mightone day get back together then no you should totally go separate ways until such a time where the feelings can be yo be just friends as both have moved on and perhaps even found new partners. There is also the jealousy factor from a future partner towards your ex that will need to be dealy with too. Huggles. Ellie :D

I definitely do think that it's possible for some to be just friends. It's true that, for some, it just doesn't happen, while for others it is. I think that it just all depends on the people involved and the situation that they find themselves in. This is what I think.

I thought the same thing every time I broke up with someone but in the end you always find someone else . it doesn't mean that you have to forget about the 1 that you let go. Love hurts

Of course your guys can always be friends. Even though you broke up with him. There is nothing more than just two person can't be fall in love for each other, that is all. You can still be friends just for friendship.

You could still be friends, provided that you have both forgiven each other and not one has an ulterior motive of getting back together. I am in good terms in all of my exs except one. We never did make up. I have an ex that we even go out and have dinner together, watch the movies, etc. It's not with malice. It's just that we enjoy each others company well :) If you want to move on with your life and end your current relationship, go ahead. Take it from me, it's easier to dump than be dumped :) If you're not growing together anymore, and doing the opposite, it's really time to end it and move one. You don't necessarily have to find a new love immediately. Take time to lick your wounds, enjoy yourself more. Reflect on what you've learned, learn how to change to better yourself, for yourself, not for anybody else. You'll know when you're ready to love again. Just wait :) Hope everything will turn out great for you :)

I could only be friends back with my ex 2 years after we broke up. but yeah, it felt very weird, that I didn't like it much. we are till in contact but never want to see each other again since we both ended up with someone else after 4 years being together.
