I feel it is not possible...well isn't difficult to look at sweet or sour past and wonder what went wrong...so you end up not justifying the new relationship.

I think it depends because not all break ups tend to be good. There are some who can't accept the fact that it's over and that's the reason why they became so mean to their ex. There are some who thinks that their relationship won't work so they had a mutual decision.

I also don't know. I think when it comes to matter like this, we shouldn't dwell so much on probabilities because we can't really give further knowledge to it. Things just happen without us being aware or knowledgeable of it.

Foe me this is possible. The opposite of love is hatred. Although it is not love, but also once loved, in that occured during those sweet, bitter things will certainly meet your EX when you have brought back, you really do not mind why?

I don't think that is possible. Is a hard thing break up with someone and then after that became his fried, i don't see how. I just think that when people are married and got childrens, maybe a friendship is possible or a very good relation at least, since there is something that bind those 2 persons.

First of all welcome to mylot. I feel the same way too. I really do not think I could be friends with the person who I loved or hated once. I would be difficult to even look at the person if I have shared a sour relationship.

In my case I think I cant forget the Ex one but like to justice with present one also as present give me support when I was sinking due to Ex one , so my faith and love will increase in present one while I remember the old one as a sour momeries of mine and to never forgive.

Lovers to friends? Here we go again. To tell you the truth, no one can be good friends with their ex-lovers. Why? Because it is impossible! You have loved that person so much that you even cried every night just because of that person. Having a heart that was hurt, then, reuniting it again with the one who did it? People who says that, "Hey, we're friends again with my ex", are liars. Face reality. Face truth. Then you can face happiness.

I also don't think so. Even if how good the break-ups had happened with my ex-bfs, it was never become possible for us to be good friends. But we try to be at least civil with each other.

But a few days ago I saw a discussion said one lotter divorce from her ex and then they became friend. So maybe you can't say 'impossible' arbitrarily. All the same, I agree with you. It's difficult for ex be friends. For me, impossible.

YES. my ex bf has been a friend of mine before we became us. it is really important that the foundation of every relationship is friendship. so no matter where the course of life may take you, you and your ex may always be friends.
