Can you be friends with your ex?

2/20/2020

After a breakup, it can be common to ask yourself the question “can I be friends with my ex?” Oftentimes, we may not know how to comprehend not having someone in our life who once played such a large and crucial part in it. If you are out of a breakup and thinking about wanting to have a friendship with your ex, here are some things to consider.

1. Am I worried about losing this person?

Is the motivation to be friends with your ex coming out of a fear of losing this person altogether? Acting from a place of fear is never helpful, and often will leave us anxious and not aligned with our true self and needs. If being friends with this person is motivated by not wanting to say goodbye, it may be important to do some reflecting on what this fear is and how it can be healed outside of having a friendship with your ex.

2. Are my romantic feelings gone?

Once we are romantically involved with someone, it can be very confusing to detach from that part of the relationship and have a friendship not based around a romantic nature. It is important to understand that when we date someone and have a sexual relationship with them, our brain actually is wired differently and can become deeply attached to this person. Moving from being someone’s romantic partner to their friend is not always black and white, and it can be important to ask yourself if you are still having romantic feelings towards this person. Do you still feel attached to them? Do you still want a physical connection with them? If the answer is yes, it can make it harder to move to a friendship.

3. How will I feel if this person starts dating someone else?

Friends are people we can go to for advice and support in our life, and we often turn to friends when it comes to dating advice. If you are thinking about being friends with your ex, think about what it may feel like if that person were to start dating again. Would you feel okay with giving them advice or listening to them talk about having feelings for someone else? If we are wanting to be friends with our ex, that means being able to show up for them as you would any other close friend, so considering what you may feel if they begin to like someone else can be important to think about.

4. Would this friendship need boundaries?

Given that you have a history of romantic relations with your ex, this would be a friendship that may need to have different boundaries than other friendships in your life. Thinking about what those boundaries would be, how you would enforce them, and how they might feel for you all are things to think about, and be able to dialogue about with your ex should you two choose to continue a friendship together.

There is no black and white answer to the question of whether it is possible to be friends with an ex. Some people are able to do this, and for others it can be much more difficult, or not possible at all. Asking yourself the above questions and intentionally giving this relationship thought and effort is an important step in the process should you choose to try and purse a continued relationship after the end of a romantic one.

My husband and I were separated for a year and two months. I want to reconcile but he doesn’t seem to want it. He doesn’t answer my text, emails, or phone calls. I don’t know if I should go up there and try to talk to him again or just give him what he wants: divorce. Like I said I don’t want that and I’ve prayed and tried to reconcile but nothing from him just silence. Since I left he has been arrested, doing drugs and looking at porn. There was also evidence that he might be doing more. I found condoms, blood on his sheets, and found what looks like sex toys! I have also seen on his bank statement that he spent money at a sex store. What do I do??? Some people tell me to get rid of him and others tell me to pray for a miracle but how long do I wait for him to tell me. It takes two to do the tango and he won’t even come to the dance floor. I almost started thinking I made the mistake of marrying someone I was unequally yoked to but I don't want to make another mistake either, so I have been very hopeful until I was introduced to Dr Ozigidon, a powerful spell caster who ends all these problems within a few days. Thanks to Dr Ozigidon for his unforgettable powerful spell. Reach out to him for whatever you may desire to make you happy.. Email; drozigidonhenz.spell.net@gmail.com whatsapp +2349054750112. Dr Ozigidon, I will forever be grateful. I bless the day I contacted this great man.

I was having some issues with my husband and it was tearing our marriage apart.
Without going into much detail, my husband left our home and didn’t want to come back. Shortly after, he began seeking a divorce after I brought up the idea of us going to marital counseling. I tried to make things work between us but he has already made up his mind and chose to leave me for another woman. My husband loves me so much and I know he can't just decide to end our marriage of 11 years without a good reason because I know my husband still loves me but I guess something was wrong somewhere and that wasn't just ordinary. I talked with a friend who had once put an end to her divorce 3 years ago and she told me all she did to stop her divorce and make her marriage work perfectly well. She told me about a spell caster called, Lord Erhun. Without no hesitation she gave me the contact of this great spell cast whom I contacted through his email meetlorderhun@gmail.com on WhatsApp +447862133661. After explaining my problems to him and did all that was required of me by his powerful gods, he cast the powerful that stopped my husband from filing a divorce. Today my marriage is back to normal and full of happiness again. Thanks to Lord Erhun and his great spell that really worked for me. Don't lost your heart desires and wondered in pains. Contact Lord Erhun today and I assure you that your happiness is sure.

Hi everyone I'm Rashmond Hellen and am here to share the wonderful work Dr Obah did for me. After 5 years in marriage with my husband with 2 kids, my husband started acting weird and going out with other ladies and showed me cold love, on several occasions he threatens to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair with other ladies, I was totally devastated and confused until a old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called Dr. obah who help people with relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contact him, he helped me cast a love spell and within 48hours my husband came back to me and started apologizing, now he has stopped going out with other ladies and his with me for good and for real.

I can’t believe that with just a contact to Dr. Todd, I got my ex husband back. I had read some stuff about Manifest Temple before i contacted him but i didn’t know that all those stuff were so accurate until i got my husband back, After getting my ex husband back i taught it wise to share my testimony with everyone on this website that how Dr. Todd was able to get my husband back with his powerful reunion love spell. That rebuild my broken marriage. All my hope has been fully restored and am happy to share my experience to everyone. Do feel free to Contact Dr. Todd via email if having any challenge with marriage or relationship at: (manifestspellcast@gmail.com https://manifestspellcast.wordpress.com) I so much believe he can also help out with his powers.

It's exactly 3 years now I was delivered of my wonderful set of twins, (Boy and Girl) after 8 years of infertility in my marriage. I went through several pregnancy medical trials but none was able to put me in success and I was almost giving up on myself because it was affecting my marriage with my husband gradually. I was searching everywhere for a possible solution to my problems. I prayed everyday and night. My prayers were answered by God in a different way which I never expected. During my surfing on the internet for permanent solution I came across a wonderful article about a great spell caster who has help different women to restore their fertility and most of these women has given great testimonies about this powerful spell caster called "Lord Erhun" After reading most testimony of his great spell, I quickly contacted him on WhatsApp +44 7862 133 661 and his email was also published. meetlorderhun@gmail.com
He restored my fertility after I did all that was required to perform the powerful spell and I felt the powerful spell inside me after 48 hours that the spell was done. Few weeks later I confirmed I was pregnant. I was full of joy but ever since I never cared to share my testimony with anyone because I was scared of being judged wrongly, but after seeing most women also facing the same challenges I had no choice but to summon courage to share my testimony after 3 years of becoming a mother. Don't lose hope, contact this great spell caster and your happiness will be restored with all assurance. I'm sorry I didn't share these secrets early enough to help other women who are also in pain. I believe he can also help restore any broken relationship and divorce marriages. Contact him on Whatsapp +44 7862 133 661. I wish you all good luck.

My husband and I have been married for over 10 years. We met when I was 18 and he was 21. We’ve been through a lot emotionally together. There were several HUGE fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. Out of the blue my husband just sprung the divorce talk on me, I was totally depressed until I found the Dr.Todd website online and I ordered a Love spell. You won’t believe my husband called me at the exact time this spell caster finished his spell work in 24hours. I was totally amazed! He is wonderful and his spells work so fast.

My Dear friends online, My name is Erin Luke And I live in the USA, Ohio, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which led to our break up. I was not myself again, I felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worse, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is DR PATRICK. I emailed the spell caster and I told him my problem and I did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before I knew what was happening, less than two days later my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me. I was so happy to have him back. The most interesting part of the story is that I am pregnant. Thanks to DR PATRICK for saving my marriage and for also saving others' own too. Continue your good work, If you are interested to contact the great spell caster email address: drpatrickspellcaster@gmail.com or his page https://drpatrickspellcast.blogspot.comcontact him on whatsapp +1 (662 493 2087)
