Can You Stay Friends With An Ex? The Real Truth About Friends ...

Many people wonder if it's true if you can stay friends with an ex. However, the truth to that question depends on your breakup situation, how recent, and what your goal is in remaining friends with an ex.

Now, what I mean in your breakup situation can mean many things. In the case of this article, it means whether you were broken up with or did the breaking up. Those factors are important, but they go hand in hand with other factors as well.

Another factor to take into consideration is how recent the breakup occurred, and yet another factor that's important is whether the breakup was mutual or not. Did the both of you decide that it was best not to be in a relationship anymore? Did you both decide that you don't want each other anymore?

You see, those who advocate that you can be friends with your ex after a breakup fail to address that it's virtually impossible if one partner still wants the other. They also fail to address that this is the case with most percentages of breakups, and those that end in mutual agreement (wholeheartedly) are extremely rare.

Most likely if one partner was dumped, he or she may very well still be in love or desire to be with the partner who let them go. A heartbreak after a breakup is an extremely tough thing to deal with and often causes many complications.

I firmly believe that if one partner still desires to be in an intimate relationship with the other partner, friendship shortly after a breakup is out of the question. The one who was dumped must heal from the heartache and heartbreak and really start to move on before any kind of relationship with an ex can be established.

Those who believe that staying friends with an ex shortly after a breakup is the best way to sneak back into the heart of an ex often find themselves in for a rude awakening. It doesn't work, and because they're highly emotional, sensitive, needy, and desperate they often damage any kind of future relationship they may have with their ex.

If you want to get your ex back, agreeing to friendship with them shortly after a breakup is a death sentence. I've done the friend thing and it ended up horribly. I've known many of my newsletter members who tried the friend route with disastrous results.

The no contact rule with ex is your best bet to make sure you get on the right path to getting your ex girlfriend back. No contact works when you have good information on the subject and use it correctly.

So can you stay friends with an ex? Yes, if you both do not desire each other in a romantic way. If you do, however, the answer is no!
