    From Relationship to Friends

    Do you think its possible to go from being in what someone thought was a relationship to a Friends Without Benefits.
    In other words could you be friends with someone who you broke off with or broke off with you after either a short term or long term relationship?

    Yes, but it would only be for sex, and I'd be seeing other people too.

    I have. I'm very good friends with one of my exes. I could be locked in a room with both of us naked and not want to go there. Fun, brilliant and sexy woman with HUGE tits, and mostly I just like her as a person, not so much as a partner.

    Your mileage may vary.

    All depends on what feelings you have for them.

    It's much easier for the one who broke off the relationship to say "Lets stay friends" than it is for the one who got dumped.

    I wouldn't say that you can have a good quality friendship. Ex-lovers or at least one of them usually hold on as "friends" with the hope or desire to continue their romantic relationship. Friends share close details of their lives with each other so it would have be awkward to share with an ex-lover news and details about your new mate or dates.
    A strong woman takes advantage of help she can get from people around her but she doesn't rely on them for anything

    She uses logic and manages her emotions

    She offers help either because it is a business transaction or out of kindness. It is never because she hopes others will return the favour or out of fear of losing them

    She has her own mind and thinks for herself and knows that she has to be the one who bears the consequences of her decisions

    Not for me, I don't need to be constantly reminded on how much of a douche they were, I break ties and move on.
