my ex-wife and I were friends for over ten years before we were married. Our marriage lasted less than five tears. We are now very best friends and see each other almost everyday. I have even assisted her in getting her boyfriend over here from India. The man that she left me for.

So, my point is, you can be friends with a former lover. I believe it is sometimes difficult because people let pride get in the way. That is not an issue for me, because I have nothing to be proud about. Being without pride, leaves a lot of doors open

I suppose it depends on the individuals involved.
One of my ex lovers is a very good friend to me,
almost like a sister and has been for over 12
years.
Another one who has now moved to Ireland is
in touch with me on a regular basis and we split
up 22 years ago.
My last relationship ended about ten years ago
and i visit her and her husband quite often.
So i guess a friendship can survive a broken
relationship.thumbs up

BTW..I married a woman in 1967. We were divorced in 1968. Yesterday we talked in line for a half hour. Yes, a former lover can be a friends. After 41 years, we are still talking to each otherhug

In response to: 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?


Yeah, it can be done, my best friend in real life is an ex lover beer

Oh course you can be friends with an ex... we're all adults here... I think its harder not to be friends... sometimes it takes time and effort, but friends, are worth that. A person just needs to grow up and accept the person for who they truly are.... its much heart healthier.. for both parties involved. There had to be something there in the being to draw you to one another... so reflect on why you liked the person in the first place and go from there...

I just love it (sarcasm) when I guy says he just wants to be friends, emails you for a little while to reel you in again and then you never hear from him again. Better to just go on with life. It hurts.

yes. ex-lovers, can be good friends when the relationship is over

but what do you mean abut friends

i mean friends abut true friendship
and the romsantinc relationship based in that friendship

then when there is no more romantic relaitonship the friendship remains

but to cal friend just some one that is an aquintance, and lover will not a true friend
