Can you stay friends with your EX?

I won't block you or delete you. I'm keeping you there so you're able to see how happy I am

Unfortunately...EX don’t disappear from the earth after a breakup. I’m not saying I want my exes to suffer a major tragedy, but I definitely want them to be far less happy and successful than I am lol. I don't unds those couples who stay friends after a breakup. Why do you want to remain friends? I used to think this was possible because I had fun with them and don't want to feel like the time we spent was wasted. In my mind, these are all good reasons and previously, I've tried to do so. but now I'm not sure. What's changed my mind? Firstly... There’s a difference between being friends and being friendly.  

Being friends involve frequent communication and hang out frequently but being friendly means that if we pass on the street, I’ll just smile and probably say hi? A relationship ends has an effect on what happens afterward. If it ended badly like cheating, abusive etc then attempting to form a subsequent friendship can be difficult. for an example, if you felt neglected by your partner during the relationship and your bond with him was weakening you won't suddenly become friends with him afterwards. right? However, if your relationship ends peacefully, then a post-breakup friendship seems more feasible. But if you are comfortable in being friends, there's no issue. If you think that even knowing about his/her life is going to hurt you, then you should not even be in touch! As long as you both are perfectly ok and comfortable with seeing each other, accepting each other as ''just friend'' and don't get jealous if your 'ex' is flirting with someone else. =)
