Being friends with somebody that you have been intimate with is hard but not impossibe is my thought. It's like an Alcoholic havin a drink sitting in front of him or a drug addict having pills or other drugs in front of them its temptin bc he knows wut type person he was while on those drug or wen drinkinthat Alcohol he doesnt want to go back. But every now and then he's tempted to reach out and grab that drink and chug it down. To sum it up it's possible but not healthy

They can be but I think sparks will fly again and being intimate can be a reality in the future. This is dangerous especially if the are already married to other people. This could prompt them to be unfaithful because they had a past intimate relationship. Just be careful of your feelings and when to say no to something so good when you have to.

it can work
as long as both of you know that there is a line you can not cross again
i'm friends with most of the women i've had such relations with and we're fine as friends
the temptation to "grab" enters my mind but i don't go for it

yes i do agree with you on that thought. and though it could really be possible making friends with someone you had been sexually intimate with before it will be quite awkward too. and the feelings would be different somehow i think. but its really up to them because i believe people differs on how we feel and react to things and situations like these. anyway i hope everything will turn out well with both of them whatever they do. happy mylotting!

The best and longest lasting we have can start out as friendships. When we become romantically involved, relationships go through a lot of changes. When the romance fades away, the friendship does not have to go with it. There is no reason that a man and a woman can nor go back to being frends just because they were something more once.

I know one person who was like that. Of course there was a time that they were not friends but later on they became friends. After that when the guys got married, the wife didnt want his husband to be friends with that girl anymore. But I wonder if the husband was doing it cause he really didnt want her to be a friend or maybe he just did it cause his wife isnt comfortable with it.

it would be tough and rather uncomfortable to be friends but it is possible especially when you started out as plain friends.

Although people say it can work personally I can not. Perhaps because my past relationships ended on bad notes.
I agree with you that it would be easy to forget the friendship and be intimate from time to time. But then where does that leave the friendship if perhaps the intimacy does not work out after that.
Be well and happy myLotting
