It depends on what the reason for the breakup was

I'm sure it's possible depending on the nature of the relationship and breakup, itself, but I don't believe in friendship after a romantic relationship breaks up. Some people date around and try to keep every romantic encounter as friends.. that's just strange. It's like unnecessary "data collection" 👀😋

No , i need to detached myself to him, and to forget everything about him...coz once i love the person , i love deeply and genuinely without second thought..😔🥹 Maybe after 2,3,4,5 years 😆😅🙂😪 And it depends on a situation... Its not being immature.. (edited)

No if a relationship was toxic so it's a big no

1y

Yes, as you make the daisies grow.

depends on how the breakup happened, how both feel afterwards and whether there's real mutual respect and space to heal. it can work... but personally speaking, i rather move on

1y

Well its a hard one if you breakup wait a good turm so yes if no then no

1y

Yup it's quite natural for some people 🤌🏼

1y

Yesss ofccc ... When decision is took on mutual bases and on logical reason break-up is done But also it depends how the background was of both the parties like how the behaviour was to eachother during bad n good times... Additionally how they perceive.

after grieving a little bit definitely.

1y

Yes

1y

Yea

It vastly depends upon the person, the reason for breaking up and if staying in contact is safe for your mental health. I'm struggling with this right now, I still care about them and would like to be friends but ultimately I think that going no contact with them would be better for my mental health.

1y

No

1y

yes, once both people have moved on completely

1y

Probably, if there are no feelings between you anymore.

1y

I think it is possible, if the relationship was healthy and with time. I am friends with my first love and I consider another my best friend.

If the reason for the breakup is something like incompatibility and not something more volatile.

1y

No

1y

Nope big no it’s best to go separate ways

1y

Yes and I have. Except until recently the guy was a total 🤬head... narcissist.

1y

100%. My ex and I are proof. But it all depends on the relationship you had and the people you are — not everyone can do it.

1y

Sure, I suppose you could keep a friendship going after a breakup—if you’re into awkward silences, forced small talk, and pretending you don’t secretly resent each other. It’s totally doable, though, if you’re both masochists or just really good at compartmentalizing Whatever works, I guess💁🏻‍♀️

1y

I never breakup because i never have a boyfriend 🥲

1y

Yes I think it is possible and I have done so

1y

Already have

1y

Well it depends on how you to broke up, but yeah you can always be friends with your exes, but you should know your limits, specially if you have a new partner.

1y

Hell naw. Staying friends with ex is like “your dog died, but you can keep him”

1y

My ex husband and I worked hard to rebuild a healthy relationship so it wouldn't hurt our son. My last ex.... well, I try, because he's very troubled. If he's sober, we do ok.

1y

Yes

1y

No

1y

Yea

1y

Yes. It takes a lot of strength in the beginning, but I believe if the care is still there then the emotions can revert back to platonic. And maybe its better that way. Love is still love in all forms. (edited)
