My ex and I have been together for 5 yrs, we came out of high school together got our first apartment, and cars together. Many say we were like night and day because we completed each other, we broke up last August because he cheated and I forgave him because everyone make mistakes which was his first and he told me I stayed for about a month but the trust was gone and I couldn't take it. Since then yes we have had sex and still had plans on someday getting back together and we are still there for each other no matter what. Today we came to the conclusion that it will be no more sex, no I love yous or talking about our future, we will just be friends.

If you still have strong romantic feelings for each other, or anger, it will be hard. Otherwise, no problem. I'm friends with quite a few of my exes. A good part of my social life revolves around them. Parties, dinners, clubs, etc. Occasionally we've even fixed each other up.

If your boy friend cheats on you it is hard to forgive him some people take there boy friend back but you should be friends now and get on with live there are plenty of guys out there for you if you take him back for cheating on you you may not fully trust him again

The short answer is no. You will always have your past relationship to deal with and no matter what you do that is going to affect how you act around each other and treat each other. Just the way it is.

Of course you can still be friends. But friendship still involves 'trust'. So if you can get that figured out, then there shouldnt be a problem. Problem might arise when he moves on and gets another girlfriend. Its gonna be a tough time, but if you can get that out of the way then it should all be good. Just be careful.

I would say not to be his friend because you love him and as long his around you there is tension, your going to want to do thing with him, try to get avoid him completely, if he really loved you he wouldn't do this. The longer you don't see him, and the longer you don't talk to him, you will get over it, but, you have to give it time.

No! Because there will always be tension between the both of you. I say ex is exactly what they a called an EX that's in the pass and you need to move on. What if finds a women and marry her it will hurt you and you don't want anymore pain from this man. Girl I know its hard but You gotta let go and move on.

You have to be completely over him in a romantic way for it to work. I mean no feelings like that at all. It will crush you when he finds a new girl. So, in order to be friends? Time is what you need and time apart. Its too soon. You are going to end up hurt.
