Can two people who were in love once become friends?

It is hard to fully let go sometimes, if relationship itself was built on a solid friendship. Ending a relationship on any terms can be painful, especially when you’ve invested time and emotional energy. Breaking up is hard to do! So we often use the “friends” bit as something to fall back on, but this route can get a little messier than you might think.

The problem is we are not computers where we can format and insert new software(even in it experts can recover lost data)

The problem arise when

What happens when you, or your former flame, meets someone else?

1. You can convince yourself that you two are not in love and it is friendship. But if any friction happens between you and your partner(your ex and his/her partner) there is high probability that the friendship may become romantic again.
2. Problems might arise if your new partner doesn't approve of your keeping in touch with your exes.
3. Even if you are not sexually attracted to your former partner anymore, you may still crave the emotional intimacy that you two shared.

All relationships are different, as are the people in them, so if you want to try to remain friends with an ex, I wish you the best of luck. However, I’m going to have to agree with science on this one. The best way to move on from a relationship is to unfollow your ex on social media, block their phone number and keep looking forward.
