Continuing a friendship with someone after a relationship can be tricky, I think we have all probably been there.

One thing I always found myself saying to myself is "I left for a reason, we gave it our all (assuming you did) and we just were not compatible." IF you feel there was realistic room for improvements thats a bit different however. Also, I find allot of people seem to miss the good and overlook the bad when thinking back on a failed relationship in terms or rekindling the love. You must ask yourself if the good was worth the bad (I would assume there was bad considering you are no longer together) perfect relationships are rare indeed, so look at it from a balanced perspective.

Finally just remember that when you are feeling lonely and "stuff" I find its very easy to turn to an ex especially if your friends who see each other. I find its allot easier and feels more comfortable to enter the arms of an ex lover in times where you feel lonely. I always let those feelings pass and try to make realistic decisions in a clear confident head space, rather than in the moment, if that makes sense.

I wish you the best of luck in this whatever you decide and hope some of what I think and do in regards to this may help.
