I do think it's possible to become friends after divorce or a serious relationship but it takes time. Each one needs to work through all of their emotions where they abandone the romantic feeling and reach a point where they feel peaceful. I don't think this kind of thing, can be pushed prematurely because then one partner may feel sadness everytime they see or talk to the ex. I'm a firm believer in trying to become friends or at least being civil, especially when there are kids involved. I think it sad that most people think exes should automatically become enemies. I also believe you can even still feel love for that person, just not the romantic kind.
I'm in a very unusual kind of marriage situation - you can read my profile if you like. I went through every emotion imaginable before I finally came to the point where I was willing to be civil and feel compassion for my partner. For me there was an incredible amount of anger I had to work through and there was no way we could have jumped into friendship right away. It's taken 3 yrs. to get to where I am now Best of luck.
