Staying Friends After a Long Relationship & Bad Break Up ???, Opinions on Staying Friends? Options

[deteam]

How do you guys feel about staying friends after a long term relationship, that had a really bad break up ?

Should you still try to be friends....

Should you both just move on ?

Ill give examples of what happened in my situation a little later

Here's the Actual Situation:
================================================
7 Year On/Off Relationship [Started at Age 12]
Grew Up Together
Was Each Others Best Friend/ Boyfriend/Girlfriend
Talked Marriage
Stuck With Each Other Through VERY Difficult Times

Break Up:
Caught Emotional Cheating for 3 months.
Wasn't Willing to Leave the Other Kid completely to work On Our Relationship
Wasn't Willing to Leave the Other Kid completely to work On Us Being Friends

Status Now:
Haven't Talked for 2 Months [prior to Christmas phone call]
She calls, I Ignore
She Wished Merry Christmas, and Called and that is the last we have talked.

Now She Sounds Like she really wants to talk/ be friendly again but what do you think?

Stay Up

Simple

If you want to forget her, dont be friends

If you miss talking to her and all that, be friends

Just see how it goes and howyou feel about it, just know this is suppose to make you feel better, not feel like your obligated to be friends (if this makes any since)


If you want a personal opinion

Me and my boyfriend have been best friends for 7 years (10 years) and we started dating thissummer, and god forbit but if we do ever break up, i would love to stay his friend, but at the same time i would prolly feel the awkwardness and know my friendship with him prolly wont be the same
