breaking up but staying best friends?
my boyfriend and i are each other's best friends.. but he kinda had an "emotional affair", if such things exist, with his "ex" the first couple months of our relationship.. he didn't physically cheat on me or anything. i just don't think i can ever truly forgive him because i feel like he betrayed me. i know he feels horrible about it and said he would regret it for the rest of his life.. i just can't seem to forget about it, so we end up fighting a lot.
so- do you think it's possible to break up but still be best friends with your ex?

Sure, it's possible.
But, are you able to detach yourself enough to be able to deal with him dating someone else?
You don't want to end up as his friend with benefits, then have to watch him moving on with another woman.
Only you know if you can only be "just friends".
If you cannot ever forgive him, then how can you remain friends?
Just to much anger and bitterness if you hold this over him to remain friends. If you are going to remain friends, and have let go of any romantic relationship, then you will have to let the pain go at some point. This might not be a healthy 'friendship'.

The circumstances of you being best friends with him is rather slim because the trust isn't there.

No, not really. You can still be friends, but not best in my opinion.

it's possible, but i don't think you guys can be best friends.
i was in a situation like that.
think of it this way with this quote:
"if you guys still talk after, it's either it was never there, or it still is."
