Not all relationships end up in marriage, that’s just the truth of life. It’s easy to get heartbroken after a long term committed relationship and breaking up is never easy to do, but if things just don’t work out in a relationship it may be best to call it quits and focus on your friendship instead. The real question though is, “Can you be friends with your ex?”
The answer to that question is not as simple as a yes or no. It is a lot easier to go back into a friendship after a committed relationship if you were good friends before you were in the relationship. Your feelings changed over time from the friendship and they can just as easily go back into that friendship if you allow them to.
Much of whether or not you can call your ex a friend should depend on how or why the relationship didn’t work out. If the breakup happened because of a nasty fight or you or the partner got caught cheating, it might be difficult to get your status with the other into a friendship stage. On the other hand if it was a mutual breakup where the both of you felt it would be best, friendship may become an inevitable part of your new relationship.
Actions certainly speak louder than words and if it is your goal to turn your old relationship with your ex into a friendship, you will need to prove to them that you can be their friend. Depending on how the break up happened, this could take some time. But persistence and time will tell you the answer to the question, “Can you be friends with your ex?”
