Call a cab. And I aint payin the fare.

you would have to stay friends if you have children with that person

It will happen again.

I have remained friends with most of my ex's. Granted it may take some time for the one who was hurt but I feel the things that made me care for them and the friendship that grew along with other emotions are still there. I hold no ill will toward someone that feels I am not the right woman for them... afterall, that's what dating is all about! Finding out if this person is the one with whom you can spend the rest of your life. Not everyone will meet that criteria so why lose a friend just because you aren't meant to be romantically linked?

life is too short to have friends who break your heart

Friend, but only if you are absolutely positive you have no more romantic feelings for that person and vice versa.

It really depends on the type of person you are. Are you forgiving? If not, then No. If you are then Yes.

I went thru that and I remained friends with my ex. And it is one of the best decisions I ever made.

Well I've become friends with my x but we share a daughter. And it causes less frustrtion in the family we share grand kids too. But x BF really depends on the person. I think hard to do .

Someone who maliciously broke my heart would be forever out of my life. However, I did love someone once and they me, but circumstances did not allow us to be together. That broke my heart, but we were still able to be remain the best of friends.

a couple of weeks of not talking to her and get my head straight..later I usually offer the olive branch for friendship, regardless of who's fault or not.

i would tell the person to go jump in a lake.

This is such a grey area! It is easy to say that the person would no longer be your friend if they broke your heart, but it all depends on the circumstances. Let's say you have a friend whom you consider your truly best friend and they felt the same. All of a sudden this person informs you that they have to move to the other side of the country to care for an extremely sick parent and they have no choise but to move. Of course that would break your heart, but that does not mean the other person wanted to do that. I would still feel the same about that person and I am sure the other person would still feel the same. We have to make the best of the situation and not lose the feeling that made us that close.

I think of the "Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me." applys here. I am not into self punishment so yes I might be civial to someone who "broke my heart" but not friends.

There is a difference between friendship and love-relationship.

You can be a friend with your ex..or at least on a "friendly" term.

There is no "fooling" ..unless you (or your ex) trying to get back on the same love-relationship.

Yes, I am doing it now. Being friends with someone I just broke up with a little over a week ago.
