I think if you make a break clear enough at first, then you shouldn't have problems being friends..unless someone is deliberatly trying to deceive you back into it for a moment. You can usually detect that behavior fairly quickly and go about reinstating the break.


My ex would have gladly gone about partaking of my services for years if he could be single again in the moment he walked away from me.

I guess this depends on both partys and what they are after.

Relationships are so complex that to analyze them for truth is probably futile.

I have problems just making friends these days - let alone something commital.

I'm afraid to say hello to a complete stranger out of fear of rejection - How ridiculous is that!!


I liked it when the friend platform was huge and wide...This is before everyone began assuming you were buking everyone spoken to. Maybe we should have an art of friend deliniation thread for pussy pilots having problems with the princess landmine situation.

Extreme Navigation was hard BEFORE they started pulling that blind simultaneous reality lying mirror image trap.

Trust - I'm worried about the cryptic flourescing.

I'm not friends with any ex's. Corpses don't make good conversation.

Yeah, but you shouldn't hold that against him.

I don't, it's usually a blunt instrument I hold against him.

But it depends on the ones involved really and why they broke-up, that's why some people can and some don't. But you should never generalize and say it's impossibe, because it isn't. Francly, I never understood people who CAN'T remain friends with their ex after they've broke up from a non-serious issue.
thank you for this reply,
i'm in a situation where i would rather be more than friends but she decided things to be different,
however, she's too important for me to not be friends so i'm not going to see her for a few months untill i think i'm over her, or longer, to ensure that i'm over her.
but i hope it gets to be more than that again.
however, i think your last line is pretty important,
the "non-serious issue" bit.
things having failed to stay friends with my ex from over a year ago isn't encouraging when you're trying to do the same thing again.
good thing situations are completly different, this time i feel like i'm dealing with someone who will respect me when necessary and required, and is only selfish when really needed.

we have a good laugh and we know each other so well, we are like best mates. the split was tough but mutual, we both knew it was the end of the relationship and we decided to just be friends.

I thought it was protocol to just use the ex for casual sex if it's dry after you break up when you thought you was gunna be all pimpin after losing the missus... but then your all like baby i miss you, then hit it. then be awkward. nope. can't be friends.

sometimes sex is the one thing you DON'T want from them anymore... hence the reason they're your friend now not your lover.
