Some people are better left as friends than "romantic partners" though.. If I had a friendship with someone and we eventually start dating, and if for whatever reason we lose the relationship, I feel being friends still with the person wouldn't be a bad idea because we were friends before the whole relationship thingy kicked off. Friendship to a certain level is deeper than relationship. Thats why we encourage people to date or marry their friends!... But you have very great points though dear poster.

loved her like crazy... broke up 5 months back and the only way I think and remember her was her phone number closely packed in my brain haha �
Don't know how to let it go lol

Nearly a decade ago, I once thought I would never forget her digits. I just read your comment now and behold I tried to recall it and I can proudly say I indeed really have forgotten it lol.

I also did not read where the writer suggested we should hate, but break up has levels. Write now, I'm a victim of a broken relationship. As in, the wound is very fresh. The painful part of it is that, I so much love this girl that I didn't care to be on guard. At the early stage, I was shocked, then anger and despondency. It became worst when the girl didn't answer my calls or returned my messages, then I'm tempted to hate the situation coz it is so unreasonable. Like my case right now, once I survive the pain, I will rather not have anything to do with her.
I think this narrative would change when/if you follow the right route to heal. I recommend focusing your entire emotions on becoming a better man first for yourself, so you would be better for the woman you eventually end up with, than you were with your ex. Make a conscious pact with yourself that you choose never to be less than best. I'm talking physically(yes hit that gym), mentally(get higher qualifications), financially (aggressively pursue a great career, own your own business) and spiritually (go to church more). Consider joining the military-style training unit or some disciplinary support boot camp if you find the time, by the time you are done, you wouldn't even remember her name. The quality of your life would be so outstanding that you would be thankful for the breakup. And if payback is worth the thought, remember this: Women aren't very good losers and the news of a very successful ex who treats his new woman like a queen is the worse torture you can give a woman. Cheer-up.

All my ex still communicate with me. Cuz once my ex is with someone else i see no reason to feel anything. I avoid my ex but they don't avoid me. Even if we break up angrily they always drop by to say HI. Especially using my birthday as a gateway

I disagree. Its depends on the individuals involved and the circumstances that led to the break up. I and my ex we are very good friends
with no romantic strings attached. Time heals most wounds.
best response on this thread. I also have a good friendship with my ex... LIFE GOES ON.

You r so on point, i can Only greet my ex if i spot her anywhere bt will never keep her contact
That is for a man like you that knows what he wants, my ex still has my contact and can still view his status, wondered why he still keeps my contacts pending on how the break up went.
Re: 4 Reasons Why You Can't Be "Just Friends" With Your Ex by placeofallure(f): 3:53am On Jun 05, 2020
Well it depends on the level of maturity. I have some of their contacts, about 2 on my phone but we hardly reach out, maybe say Happy New year now and no reaching out again until another new year. Some only on fb, birthday wishes, no more.
One of my husband's ex is our family friend now. She's much older than me and I treat her like a big sister. We go on family outings and everybody is fine. We're all very civil about it. Every relationship cannot lead to marriage. Some decisions to stay apart are not borne out of malice so...live and let live. How many people do you want to be enemies with? Life is simple.
