No offence to anybody (pun intended)

Let's face it, whenever there is a breakup, it's sually never mutual. The one who initiated the breakup moves on faster than the one who didn't. So, after a relationship ends, it's either you go on separate way or choose to have the "Let's Stay Friends" compromise. But hor can lovers really turn into good friends after that?

If u ask me, I am for remaining friends from a respectable distance that is. When most couples break up, it is not usually because both agree that they are not right for one another. It usually is one person chooses not to be with the other, for what ever reason. If that reason for splitting is an honest decision based on an irrepairable or adjustable behavior, the other party may feel that they were not worth changing the behavior that was disturbing, Therefore, a bit of resentment might always be in the picture.

If the breakup was due to mistrust, well then why would someone want to remain friends with a person they don't trust.' Remaining Friends' can mean different things to different people. Only you can determine how you define a friendship with an ex..

No one wants to lose someone that they truly love or care about. I guess the question really should be...Can a person honestly be open to a healthy life or new relationship, if they make the decision to remain friends with someone they once had intimacy with.

Broken trust will never allow a real friendship after a relationship is over. My answer, probably NOT.
