I am friends with some of my ex's,....It is possible BUT only if there is no romantic feelings left...and if you aren't comfortable with telling him you are seeing someone or him telling you he is seeing someone then you are not ready to be friends.... No contact is best until you heal completely from the breakup...

I feel that maintaining contact with exes just for the heck of it or to have a buddy can hold you back in developing a relationship with another person.

Snafu, yes, this is it *exactly*... I feel that he's waiting until I get there this summer (remember I'm spending the whole summer where he lives) and that this "friendship" is with this thing in the back that we'll get back together.

It is difficult to remain friends with an ex, particularly as you say, since it doesn't feel platonic to you.

When a guy behaves in the way you described, cruel about giving you what you want, he doesnt really care about you as much as he cares about the idea of controlling things.

He called me again today and it was another great conversation, just talking about anything and everything.. so free and easy.
