You believes that although there is a possibility of ex still do well for the other partner, maintain a friendship opens the possibility of a new connection between the parties.
The coach relationships recommends the person to make five questions before attempting to maintain a kind of relationship with the former. The information is the Your.
1. Your ex still gives you goose bumps?
You know that feeling when someone sends you messages on the phone and you get all excited? Or when you review someone after a long time? And when you automatically feel attracted to someone?
If you have feelings like these by the former, you are not only friends.
2. How true you are in your friendship with the ex?
People often share with friends even the bad parts of life.
So ask yourself, you share with your ex the same things he shares with your friends or just always omitting anything? Maybe you're hiding something because it respects the feelings of others or because you feel guilty?
If you do not treat your ex the same way it treats other friends, then something is wrong.
3. You present the former to her current boyfriend?
This is an important question. It is normal for people to take their boyfriends for parties or gatherings with friends.
If you do not have the courage to do the same thing in relation to your ex, then all is not well and you are not good friends.
4. Do you think about your ex as a plan B?
Is there any part of you that believes her ex as a plan B?
If there is still some hope that in the future you can relive something together, then your ex is not your friend but a distraction.
5. You and your ex behave like friends?
Your ex is genuinely happy when you go ahead? You're happy when former teammate meets a new person? If he was married, would you?
The definition of "friendship" changes from person to person, but for coach relationships, be a friend is to be honest, split times and know that the other will be there when you need. And that's what exes should have should they choose to be real friends.
