Can We Remain Friends? by Roland17(m): 7:27pm On Jan 02, 2012 |
The most popular line after a break up is "CAN WE STILL REMAIN FRIENDS?" Irrespective of the reason(s) why u broke up, are u still friends with your last ex? |

That rubbish line annoys me especially when the person saying it was not worth the stress of the relationship. Why would I want to remain friends with such a one?I've never used that line for an ex. I can only try to remain friends with an ex whom I parted ways with on a mutual ground. The friendship sef would not be a serious one at all especially if I still had or have feelings for him,I believe there's no way two people who love eachother can remain just friends,or there's no way you can be just friends with someone you love. You can try and pretend to be but your feelings or emotions will always get in the way of things, @question. N to the frigging O,I'm not friends with my last ex,I don't think I can ever be. |

That line annoys me soo much, especially when u gave sooo much to the relationship, but if the break up was mutual and mature i don't think its a bad idea. |

If there was no much commitment especially from me, yes If due to obious genuine reasons we cannot move on, yes If you consciously make me to fall with u and latter demand dat we keep it frnds, No Infact, for some reasons yes we can be frnds and for others no we cant |

Roland. We are on the same boat,though I'd never really see or take an ex as a serious friend. |

freecocoa: I think that's the best way to stay safe emotionally, especially if u wish to move on with ur life. |

@OP: Hmmm, I think people say it so it won't seem as though they left on a bad not. I've always tried to remain on mutual grounds with people I have been involved with [just for the say of being nice/courteous] but it never seems to work out. In fact, now that I look back at it I don't recall being being "friends" with anyone who I have parted ways. In the end, it just seems like all aspects of our relationship has desolved. By the way, happy new year Roland17!! |

I don't phrase my own that way. I tell the person, 'we can still remain friends or not'. But he has to understand the friendship would be altered in some way. I make sure to stress out that nothing would happen again (people need boundaries). I don't really have bad break ups so I'm friends with almost all my exs. . |

If it ain't worth it remaining in the relationship, then she ain't worth my time. |

We cant remain friends, and there'll be no hard feelings between us either! I wont call or text, but when i see you at an event or function, or any random place, i'll exchange pleasantries with you! Some may choose to remain friends, call and text and all that, but most of that "some", are not ready for the emotional implications when they come flooding, full force thru their system! Most people dont really understand the semantics of letting go! You cant be together means you CANT be together. In whatever form! Why break up, if you dont want to let go? Trying to eat your cake and have it? Another mistake most make is to confuse Romantic relationships with platonic ones. . . Those two just do not tango! That's why you see most still keeping their ex as a last resort when there's none to turn to for sex and all that pampering bullshit! Pitiable situation if you ask me!. . . |

Depending on the type of relationship one has, it is possible to be good friends. Not all relationships are bad or ended bad. |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by kokoye(m): 3:32pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
I hooked up an ex . . .she's happily married to the guy now . .with kids. The guy did not know what happened between us though - not his business. |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by kokoye(m): 3:33pm On Jan 05, 2012 |

happy new year |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by MrsChima1(f): 3:40pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
kokoye: Happy New Year Suga. |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by Nobody: 3:40pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
kokoye: Actually it is his business |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by MrsChima1(f): 3:42pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
apocalypse: No. It is not his business. It was the past and I am sure you didn't share everything that happened to you in the past with any girls you were with. Let be honest. If they were FUCKING WHILE SHE is married then it is her husband's business. Any sexual history before and after marriage isn't the husband's business. I am positive the husband didn't share all sexual history with his wife either. |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by slimyem: 3:46pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
once you are my ex,i'm not interested in your life and i do not expect your interest in mine too. I had to hammer this harshly into my ex's head before he stopped sending me 'friendly' messages as he called it. that says all! |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by kokoye(m): 3:50pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
apocalypse: Anywayyyyy . . . .the guy doesnt have time to go snooping around over his wife's high school crush. Better things lie ahead. |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by MrsChima1(f): 3:58pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
Koyoke! You were naughty huh? |
Re: Can We Remain Friends? by kokoye(m): 3:59pm On Jan 05, 2012 |

Re: Can We Remain Friends? by slimyem: 4:37pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
