Hi All,

I have a post on the divorce and seperation forum if anyone needs background on this.
My ex (strange to call him that) says he REALLY wants to be friends, that he values me as a person, likes who I am and honestly enjoys my company (he just stopped loving me after 5 years together for reasons unknown to either of us at this stage).
What I want to know is CAN you be friends with an ex who has ripped your world apart?
I feel that I am only wanting to be friends to hang onto SOMETHING that we had... I'm still all very emotional and going thro hell right now (it's only been a couple of weeks and we slept together last weekend - BIG mistake on my part as I'm too emotionally attached and read more into it than I should have.)

It's not like he have had a bad break up so far - other then the fact that I'm finding it hard to find boundaries right now. He wants to help me thro the break-up.. Strange but it's the type of relationship we have always had.
So any advice or personal experiences with trying to remain friends and how to go about it would be much appreciated
