Being Friends with your Ex

It is tough moving on after the break up and you have just one question on mind. Is it worth being friends with your ex? You want to move on yet cling to your past. Being friends with your ex might seem like a great idea but it does not always work out that way. Read on further to know can lovers be friends or not.

The Green Eyed Monster - You may deny it as much as you want to, but you will feel miserably jealous when your ex (now friend) goes out on a date and has a wonderful time. It is human nature to feel so, it not wrong. But why make yourself and the other person feel miserable by feeling jealous and sending wrong vibes and wishing you never remained friends.
Passion is Still There - No matter how much you claim that you are friends, every time you see him/her, your heart still misses a beat. You have had some intimate moments together and every time you see your ex, you seem to relive those memories and silently enjoy. Yet another reason why it is not advisable to be friends with your ex.
Confiding is Tough - Friends share anything and everything with each other. But when that friend happens to be an ex, it becomes very difficult to confide in personal details. For instance, you have a big date coming up and you are wondering what should you wear to look stunning. You wouldn't go around asking your date whether you look good in the short black dress or the backless red one!
Comfort Zone - You have had a bad day at work, or maybe a fight with some one. You want to sit and talk to your friend about it. You feel the need to be pampered and hugged. Surely, your ex isn't the right person for it. For all that you know, you might be back to square one. The comfort level that you share with a friend and your ex can never be the same.
