Friendship is a special and rare thing. It's not always easy to trust and allow someone to come into your personal circle. This being said, why do so many people thing it is wrong to remain friends with an ex?
If you were in a relationship with someone and there was genuine love that doesn't just disappear. Your significant other is usually your best friend. That person knows your fears and they know what makes you smile. They have seen you at your best and at your worst. They know some of your secrets and they have continued to keep those secrets. And the same is in the reverse. Just because a romantic relationship has failed does that mean that a true friendship can't work?
Of course the pain of the breakup has to subside and there must be a few ground rules laid down but, once these things have been established a friendship should not be overlooked. Already this is a person that knows so much about you that they may be able to help shed light on situations that you aren't able to see clearly because you are too close to it. These are just a couple of pluses in a situation like this.
When you get a new mate you have to ease that person in to your friendship with the ex. If it's a genuine friendship and there are no ulterior motives on either persons part, there can be a lasting relationship.
