I think the title says it all: Do you think a couple which has been together over a longer period can still be friends, after all that happened? Do you think, if the breakup is more or less peaceful, friendship can be maintained?
I've been through it. It really depends on the relationship. My break up was peaceful as pie and we said we'd still be friends but well, the relationship was a bit erm, weird so we don't really talk all that much. It just depends on your personalities and the relationship and things. Personally, I think it's hard to stay friends with someone you date but, that's just me.
There are two many factors to give this question a straight black or white answer. The simple answer to can it be done is depends on the people, the truthful answer is different for each person.
Well after I broke up with a girl, I was with for 2 and half years. We decided to remain friends. However due to several things that happened during our relationship I couldn;t bring myself to call her up to talk to her anymore. We talked for about two weeks after the nreakup but after that we haven't talked since and I don't intend on talking to her ever again either.
well, now my own experience: I had been dating someone for more than a year. We had a little argument afterwards, but now we are still friends and I still trust him very much. So, in my experience ... it can be done, but it's not always easy.
It hurts like hell at first, but I've done it, and it seems to work out in the end.
I've known this man for eight years, and we dated off and on. Now, we're best friends, and can talk about anything.
Depends on the person and what happened.

good topic, inis! I agree with Crystal Rain, it's kind of strange at first, especially when we start moving on to dating again and stuff. I dated a guy for six months, and after we broke up it felt like i was less relaxed with being friends than he was. either he hid it really well or it was easier for him. anyway, it is a lot easier now, and we will probably be closer than we were when we dated.
I've never been able to pull it off. Either I still care for the guy and just being friends hurts too much, or the breakup is bad and we end up hating each other, so of course we can't be friends.
for me, it's hard to stay friends with my exes. it's just never gonna be the same.
its really depends on situation and person. me and my ex try the very best to be friend, or as close as we can but both party also know that, the friendship is rather cold. this happen cause lots of topic can't be discuss like before, for example, those topic who's sensative towards both party, and its just hurt. sometime, i rather discontinue the friendship than having such cold conversation going on. we know that we still care for each other but then, it is just hard to be going on with kinda cold manner.
I understand .Sometimes we hardly talk, but, I mean, he was the one I trusted first, and he stil lcares for me as a friend and vice versa.
I myself am in this situation. Becky aka ride_or_die_chick and lickemlo are trying to be friends. It is very hard because I am in a new relationship. Sometimes I really think you can not.
