It's possible to remain friends...  but it may cause problems with men you have future relationships with.\n\nThe transition will be awkward, it's really hard to be lovers one day and not the next - probably best to take it slow, don't see each other too often, talk on the phone or email only for awhile until you're 'over' each other completely.

Its all up to you but if you trust him enough you should be able to accept him being friends with his ex

as you said this fight was stupid so yes definetly be friends again, you known him since first grade dont loose a relationship over that, youve been friends for way to long its time to move on and start having fun with him. besides what if something happened you wouldnt want to miss out on the oppurtunity to be friends....

its not that its impossible but in some cases the male friend may have been somebody that u have already dated or had sex with and if you meet a new a guy natuarally he would feel uncomfortable for negative about him being around u, because just females they dont like other females and as far as guys they dont like other guys especially if its a relationship involved

I've been there and what i did was just start talking to him that way you don't feel so weird to be around him. we both are dating other people and we just talk as normal people b-cuz we realized we cant be as close Friends as we were before but we still hang out with the same people and its better to be talkin to each other than not talkin at all.

everything is possible..but this kind of situation depends if both of you are really meant to be..if you, then you will always find the way to each other's heart..me and ex broke up, right now we are friends but i don't know yet if we'll be together in the future..time will only tell..

It's totally cool to have your ex has a friend.  Just because two people aren't right for each other romantically doesn't mean they shouldn't be friends.  Those who don't comprehend it too bad for them, you and your ex are extremely lucky and rare so don't change a thing.

I actually ended a long friendship with my former best friend a few years ago because our personalities clashed.  He was constantly flirting and kissing girls even though he had a girl who was working her tail off making ends meet for the two of them.  One clear example was when I visited him from out of town with my then girlfriend, he took us to a bar and spent the entire time flirting with one of his co-workers.  He just left us sitting on a windowsill.  \n\nWe've reconciled, but part of me still remembers what he did to not only us, but to his girl. I've lost some trust with him.

I think not for reasons of the heart,cause deep down inside you still have those memories of the good times you had together.Which then could lend to things happening between you two.If you are in a new relationship,the person you are with could get hurt or may not like the idea you are friends with your exs.So leave exs alone and move on.

Chances are he's felt the same way at one time or another.\nYour timing's off.  You can still be friends, but you need to try to keep your feelings in check, because you could lose him as a friend.  If its meant to be it will happen \nyou cant rush it, and you may change your mind. Just support him like a friend should it will all turn out the way it should.

depends on how good of a friend this person is to your ex. If they are best friends then that's breaking the unwritten rule and is pretty bad. If they're just casual friends, I don't think it would ruin the friendship.

Yeah it can. I broke up with my ex a couple of years ago - it was a mutual break-up but we remained as best friends. Sometimes when I hang out with her, I feel that same old feeling again - like a spark in my life that I felt when I first dated her... but I'm not taking that step though.\n\nYou can regain that feeling, but to get back together - that's another question...

Yes. It is possible. I have been friends witha guy for years...nothing's changed...we're just good buddies...

I understand that you’ve broken up with him, though I guess you can still be a friend...as in friend....especially when he needs help.\n\nPlace yourself in his shoes. He's just another person with emotions and currently is looking for your support and help. Do help him though clearly underline that your support will not go beyond what’s called for in a friendship.\n\nYou can also tell you current BF of your intentions just so that he doesn’t build any wrong notions in his mind about your relationship with your EX.\n\nTake care.

It's possible. I'm doing it right now. The trick is to put asside the hurt and the lost dreams and hopes. They're in the past. And to bring them up carries with them the bitterness, the resentment and the pain of loss and that just spins you up again. If you can get past all the old feelings and start working towards how you can be just helpful, supportive friends, then you're half way there. Good luck. It IS possible as long as both of you work on it.
