Is There Friendship After Love?

   Maybe I'm a little extreme, but for me there is no friendship after love and relationship. And I don't need it. What should I talk to and share with my ex? To go out for coffee and talk as if there was nothing between us? I say again, I may be extreme, but I do not keep friendship with my ex. If we see each other, hello, how are you and that's it. Moreover, in the next relationship, it is at least unpleasant for the new partner to maintain such a relationship with the former. But this is my personal opinion and I do not engage anyone with it.

   Yes, but it depends a lot on people :))))

   There is, of course! And many good, healthy and long-lasting friendships are made, as long as you don't come across a Neanderthal ...

   Not.

   NO, no no !!! People who have been intimate and had sex cannot be in pure friendship without jokes, flirtations, and the like. One day one of them will be tempted and ask to "remember the good old days" ... So ... not to me these "friendships".

   It happens if the relationship was sporadic or just for sex. If there were feelings forget it.

   Of course, there is friendship after love. In fact, love itself remains, but passes to another level. It all depends on the specific people and their attitude to things. I have always wanted my partners to be mostly friends, otherwise the relationship cannot last. No matter how we parted, we always remained in a beautiful, friendly relationship. Come to think of it, the credit for that goes mostly to me. :) I had a great love, a boy we would even marry ... He had a girlfriend before me, about whom he told me a lot and I felt it was the love of his life. However, I was not jealous because we trusted each other, and there was no reason to be jealous. Our separation was a whole tragedy, especially for me, but we still saw each other, talked, had intimacy several times, but the last one was somehow natural ... He went abroad and we wrote letters to each other. After three years I left and in a few years we lost touch. When we met, we talked on the phone regularly, even when I already had a new, serious relationship. It so happened that I connected them with the love of his life, with which we had already become friends. I gave her his phone and email. I knew I was helping them get back together, and while it hurt on the one hand, I was genuinely happy when it happened because I wanted to, and I still want them both to be happy. They deserve it. Now they live in Bulgaria and have a child. We maintain a virtual connection, and when I come home I often visit them, I even slept there, we stayed alone with him, and his wife is not jealous of me. He knows me and knows he can trust me, too. Their child loves me too. I will not lie, my feet tremble when I see him, but I am happy that he is happy. This is just one example, but from experience I say, yes, friendship after love exists. F 38

   I absolutely agree with number 7, adding that such a friendship after love is possible only at a higher level and especially at another age. At the age of 20-25 there is no way for the simple reason that young people do not have life experience, they get excited and jump at every problem. At our age, my / and up even / and at number 7-yes, friendship after love is possible!
