    Talking is stil ok. Relationships are dynamic and changing. At one point you may like someone as a lover, but then later as a friend. That's ok and you must try to cope, instead of abandoning the person forever just because you do not love them in the same way anymore.

    Friends can never be lovers. Friends are friends and lovers are lovers...trust me..I am talking from my life experience....yes talking term is fine and healthy and it's the best way to ease the situation even when you are no more lovers...avoiding doesn't really help.

    I believe that you have to be friends to love each other deep down. I have known a couple for some time who are best friends and who are best lovers. Or so she tells me. She can't stop telling me how wonderful he is (without going into details) and that they can't even argue without getting each other to laugh at what ever they start to argue about. If you aren't really friends to start with, then you can't really talk afterwards.

    It's hardest for the one who was broken up with. Usually one person still wants more, so it's harder to be friends after you have been lovers. That's my experience, anyway!

    I had a terrible time breaking up with a boyfriend once. We were good in the sack but could not talk to each other. We did move on to others but when we saw each other...in the sack we went. I say if you wish to be friends, do at a distance at first and then get a little closer if you can handle it. It mainly depends on you.
