Time to be friends.

My ex and i broke up almost a month ago. Its still hard to this day, but trying to get over it little by little. Is it even possiable for us to be friends again?
Because we were never just friends in the first place. We both are being mature about it, and want to still be apart of each others lives.. How can i go about doing so? I dont want to be just ok with each other, i want to be GOOD friends.
After all he was my best friend for two years....

Thats the hardest part about breaking up, i think. In my experience it almost never works. I was close friends with one of my girlfriends before we got together. Once we broke up - one party nearly always holds some feeling of rejection (me in this case). It does tarnish the friendship relationship somewhat. It can work though; I'm still really good friends with one of my ex's and im now even her sons godfather. It doesn't happen easily though.

Good luck to you!

I completely agree with Mike on this one. (:

people always beat me to this kind of thing.

Agreed with mike as well. by two best friends went out for about two years, and ended up going through a messy break-up when he started having feelings for another girl. my two friends had been really close for about 5 years prior to their relationship, but even then, it's still taking time and effrot to get back to a good place, and it's been about a year. you need a lot of patience, when your heart's been really invested in a person for so long.

Take your friendship VERY slowly. if you jump into it you might end up ruining. but if you take step by step then it will be okay.

start at being okay with eachother and work up to best friends

It's possible, but your going to have to give it time and work hard for it. I don't think that it is something you can just rush into, no matter how much you wish you could. I know I needed time to get my thoughts straight and figure out what I wanted to do about the situation when I was/am in your place. :)

I guess it's possible but it's very hard and most times doesn't work out very well at all =( With both of my ex's...one I'm friends with again *took me 3 months and one hell of a heartbreak from another guy though* but it's hard because you'll always have those emotions that you two shared and it can get rough when he finds a new gf =P As for my second bf...well there is a reason why they say that ex's should leave eachother the hell alone =P Don't want to talk to him, don't want to see, don't even want to be in the same town as him =p
