Love does not always last a lifetime, as lovers dream about - sometimes people part, and after parting they can either forget about each other forever, or continue communication, remaining friends. The latter scenario is especially difficult for former lovers - often all attempts to maintain friendship turn into failure, and they have to completely stop communicating. How to part with friends and maintain a friendly relationship with a person even after a breakup?
Instructions
Step 1
Such a separation requires special attention and tact in relation to a person, and therefore only those people who have really become close to each other can remain friends and, despite the fading of feelings, they continue to be interested in each other's life.
Step 2
This kind of friendship gives you a lot of advantages - you know your partner like no one else, which means that you can give him the best friendly advice. However, for this you need to follow some rules.
Step 3
In order to part with friends, discuss the end of your relationship in a calm atmosphere, without scandals and mutual reproaches. Thank the person for everything that happened between you and honestly admit that your feelings have faded. You should not immediately invite the person to remain friends.
Step 4
Wait a while until the first regrets subside and the person stops feeling sad - then you can suggest not to part completely, but to continue friendly communication. Let the person know that no matter what, he is dear to you.
Step 5
Never flirt or flirt with the person with whom you decide to become friends after a period of intimacy. Try not to touch on the topic of your former relationship, either in person or with mutual friends. This topic will be painful for both of you.
Step 6
Never gossip about what happened between you, do not be jealous of your ex-partner of other people, do not dictate a model of behavior to him - now this person is free, and has the right to dispose of his personal life on his own. Do not express critical comments in relation to his new chosen ones. This will help maintain a warm relationship for a long time.
