Can lovers become friends?

Yes they can be friendly and try to be friends only, but I don't believe the love connection ever really ends.

I heard it many a times other people say like that. Most of the time it's girls who say that. When they feel that, they can't continue with their relation, they will just say like this, "I think we will better become good friends". But I think that, it's only a shortcut way to say we can break. It's not quite easy to stay as friends after being lovers. So if you quit being a lover, that's the end of it!

I think it is very hard to take a step back like that. But I think it is possible. But it will still hurt at times and may cause a speen bump here and there in the friendship. It would also depend on the strength of the friendship before matters of the heart were involved. I think the friendship would be a more passionate friendship but it is still possible if both parties want it to be a friendship. Untimately, if one still privately wants the relationship and never voices it, that one will feel heartbroken when the one is around of thought of. This would be a hard situation. But I guess if one loves the other enough to be able to let that person go and just be friends...then it is possible.

ya sure.. if they dont get each other.. they like to be friends.. then they can be friends.. for ever.. and lovers can became friends...

I dont think so, it can be the other way around.. friends are always bound to be lovers.. but love means different feeling.. it can not go back to friends.. love will have possesiveness in it.. we cant revert back that to be a good friends

it depend upon the situation, if there relationship ended in a good way for sure it will not be hard for them to be friends but if there relationship had gone through a lot of pains i think they should avoid each other first and let the pain heal.

i think its very difficult because the feeling would not change even after a long time, so i think lovers should not be just friends but look forward to get married

Yes lovers can become good friends so that by this relationship their love grows.

it depends from the. if they separated in a nice way no harm of feelings and they decided that they want to end theire relationship and realize that they are not meant from each other im sure they gonna be friends..

i dont think so. Well i am in the same situation. Let me explain you. Firstly why do they have to be friends again. Just because something went wrong in their love relation. SO after that being friends will always make them remember the old times they spend together and then the bad memories will come alive. I hope you understand. Cheers!!

well...i don't think lovers turning friends is that easy..... its not so simple to overcome or change your primary feelings towards any one!!!

I don't think so, when the relationship ends with full of sorrow. I have an experience that i can't even call her after our relationship breaks. May be it depends on the individual. But love is live, love is friendship and everything.

sorry they cannot once you becomes friend with your ex girlfriend or boyfriend then you guys shall like totally be jealous once they talk about there new love life and both shall be mad.. so i think lover can't be friends..

I believe lovers can be friends. Why not, right? Actually, it only depends between the two of them. But in my case, my ex-boyfriends are my friends now but we're not that close like before.

lovers do not need to become friends they are friends already. because they share all the goods and bads between them and they understand each other too. they stay beside each other as well.

i don't think so.... it would be totally difficult and uncomfortable for both of them to be one...

may be no.

Yes definitely . Look at all the people that are married , they are not only lovers but also each other's best friend in life . I don't think you could make a relationship work if you were not friends also .

no :) Nothing cant be like it wasnt happend anything :) To be friends you have to own something for what to talk and laugh. If you have finished love relationships you will look at other and see something else, but not a friend :)

I do believe lovers can become friends. Alot of them just can't though if they end on a rough note. But some of the bets freiends that ever were stemmed from a love relationship gone sour. Some people love each other and soon realize once they live with each other it so peachy. But outside of their love relationship, they realize that they never disagreed about a thing. sometimes romance is too demanding and breaks away that friendship bond.
