lover65: be a friend with an ex-lover. I've been on this site for almost 9 months now, and met many interesting women. One that I met on another site became a friend and lover. It didn't work out, but we both made a promise, and that was that no matter what happened between us, that we would still be friends. Well' that didn't work either. I'm not sure that it can ever work, but my answer is that if someone wants you to make that promise, Don't!
I know this subject has come up before, but do you feel that ex-lovers can be friends after the relationship is over?

I can be a friend of my ex after the relationship is over, my ex just can't .. to think he made a promise not to let me down and be there for me one way or the other. It made me feel worse whenever I think about the promises he made. Promises.. promises

Friends with ex's... hmmm, well I personally haven't been friends with any of them, not because I wouldn't want to be though.. I think if enough time goes by there is always a chance for letting go of the past and the hard feelings that came with the breakup.. I believe after that, it's possible to be friends, but there are those that no matter what will never let go of anything, so in that case, it wouldn't be possible.. As for my ex, not really sure if it could ever be possible for her and I to ever be friends.. as I believe she went off the deep end when we split up.. although I would consider it if she was willing..

I personally have been friends with my ex's. Not that I talk every day with them. I think it's within one's frame of mind. So my answer is yes if both are really wanting it.

I have seen men usually find it dificult to be friends with someone they have been in love with. Usually women seem fine with the idea. Thats what i have observed. I wonder why though.
But i do think it is possible.

Thats been my experience Daniel.. NOT that i would WANT to be friends with all of them.Some of them are gone for good.
But in some cases where we were very good friends and the person grows fond of you , that kind of situation.
I do know someone who said i can keep my feelings of love separate from the friendship we share, but i didnt seem to believe it cos the intensity makes you wonder time and again.

Yes, it is possible, but without promises.
Promises committing us and we do not feel comfortable in that situation.
So, no promises and friendship is possible.

I think it is possible to be on friendly terms with an ex-lover or spouse, but I don't think you can truly be friends. By this I mean that one doesn't have to be bitter or surly, but when I think of a friend, I think of someone that I would call and ask if they want to go to a movie or out for a meal with me or something, and I think that this seldom happens with an ex. Most of us want to think that we can do this, but usually a relationship ends because one person wanted it to. Generally speaking, both people are not on the same wavelength at the same time. So, unless you both are ready to call it quits at the same time, one is usually left a bit hurt or shaken by the break-up. Then, to go out together as friends is a very awkward situation.
Anyway, it has never worked for me, but I do applaud anyone who can manage to make it work for them.

In my situation, I don't think it's possible that she could really be friends with me. I asked her if she was willing to talk about everything, including other relationships. and she said no. To me, that wouldn't be a friendship. I, on the other hand would feel comfortable talking about anything. I think that we never were really friends, and that's why the relationship didn't work out in the first place
