Can Lovers be Friends?

Posted by AdaGrace on October 1, 2005, at 8:26:06

After they are no longer lovers?

I keep hoping so. I have lost my best friend who became my lover, and after the "lover" status stopped, I lost the friendship, and I miss that terribly, as well as the rest of the relationship.

Many people I know say that their partner is their best friend, but I would be hard pressed to say that I think that's a good thing. Because to lose one is to lose the other, and it's so very hard to not have that one person that you tell everything to, the one you talk to everyday and talk about things like the weather, the state of the union, the new sheets you bought, their job, your job, EVERYTHING.


I say this because the one person whom I loved more than life itself, and my best friend for 4 years has made an attempt at contact. When things got bad, and really ended, I begged for us to remain friends, he agreed. But of course there has been no friendship for a year now. I'm just wondering, can we pick up a friendship again if nothing else?
