Is this more of just something to say when a relationship ends, or is it heartfelt in most cases? How likely is it that once a long term relationship ends that the friendship can remain intact? Infact you can go from friends to lovers, but can you reverse and go from lovers back to just friends?

Well its probably possible, but the pain will always remain through association. But is that pain less than the pain of completely parting totally forever.

You where after all friends before, so why not after. As long as the relationship ends on equal terms. If one doesnt want what the other wants they have to hold it in the knowledge that not only is the relationship gonna end, the friendship is too. Lets face it a relationship is a friendship otherwise its just a physical thing. So if you end a relationship its like ending a friendship anyway.

i dont see it being possible, at least not from my experience, i dated this guy for two years, then we broke up on good terms, just decided that the relationship had turned into something that we didnt want it to, were tired of fighting all the time. so we were friends for a while, and i started dating another guy, we had been dating for a month, and i ended up going to a concert with my ex, well after the concert we were hanging out, had some drinks, and things got way out of hand, we ended up having sex, but i didnt want to tell my boyfriend because i didnt want to hurt him, well my ex went and told him, he broke up with me, and then my ex starts calling me all the time, telling me he is sorry for doing that, but that was his plan from the start, he did it all on purpose, because he knew if he got me drunk he could get me to do that and break us up so he could get me back. i was sooo furious that i wouldnt talk to him. we eventually tried to date again, after about 6 months, but it didnt work out well, too much time had passed, we had grown too much apart. but it was all for the better, because if none of that would have happened, i wouldnt have met derrick, and i would have probably married him and just be settling for not good enough for the rest of my life. not saying that i will marry derrick, just saying that he makes me so much happier than i have ever been, so as of right now i am not at all opposed to the idea. but i am totally off topic now, sorry.
