Response to: Can you be friends w/ an ex

I read a blog just before that really got me thinking. The blog was written in regards to relationships with former significant others. Can they exist? Is it healthy? Are they worth it? I say absolutely if it was a healthy relationship to begin with. If the relationship ending mutually and did not involve any sorts of verbal or physical abuse then why not? After all it's good to have those people in your corner down the road because they know you and understand you. Now I know that people grow apart and all relationships don't end in a desired matter but that doesn't mean you have to write those people off. I dated a girl for a short amount of time and before we dated we were just good friends. Sure when things become intimate it changes things but it's important to remember before you were girlfriend/boyfriend...or boyfriend/boyfriend..so on so on, you were just friends that admired one another. I truly believe that once an attraction is there between two people it will always be there. So why ignore it if it was healthy and brought happiness to your life.
