Meaning, when you break it off with someone, you need to cut contact with them for as long as it takes to get over them (a good timeframe would be 6 months to a year).
After that if you want to pursue a friendship, then try it and see how it works.
But I have to ask you...why on earth would you want to maintain a friendship with a guy who was obviously just using you? |
It does not match with my experience.
My best and more loyal friends have been exgirlfriends.
Probably it happens becuase I tried to create a friendship during the relationship, and I tried to make our relation to matter, to make a difference, to improve the life of her, instead of trying to merely "take advantage".
It was very strange for me when I married, because I could not just come to them to seek for advise, for obvious reasons.
I have had tough situations in the past, when I was single, and they were there like loyal friends. I even met my wife thanks to one exgirfriend who thought she was the one for me.
