Does anyone believe exes can become friends? I know on mumsnet and amongst the general populous, the rule is, block, avoid, move on. I'm in a place where I don't want to be back with my ex, we have been talking more recently. I find this hard sometimes, but at other times I'm ok. When he's not in my life I am constantly hurting, being just friends is easier than that. Tonight though we were talking and discussing his most recent breakup, it hurt, he may have moved on and to an extent I have, but, I still find myself caring about him.
Nothing will happen between us, nothing but friendship. Which is why I'm asking if it's possible to be friends with an ex like this? Is this part of the journey to get to true friendship?
Please don't advise me to walk away, I have for long periods of time and we always end up back talking to each other.
