It depends. I believe friendship is possible after love based on the foundation of the relationship. sometimes people feel infatuation and call it love and when those emotions are out the door, they are left with nothing. No friendship was ever established before the rush for emotions and so we start faking a friendship that was never there in the first place. On the other hand, selfishness and lack of self esteem makes friendship hard after a good relationship ends. If it was a mutual understanding and both parties are mature. they can establish a great friendship with much respect especally if they have to find other life partners and will not want the drama of dealing with a previous relationship. It does not mean friendship as in, "lets hug the phones and hang out all the time" The opposite will always attract. but staying in good terms with no hard feelings is the basic necessity. People usually make things more complicated that it should be. I will say that when friendship cannot be maintained after a relationship it would be because of one or all of these things; 1) There was never any friendship before the relationship. Emotions can be decieving. 2) One or both parties are selfish and insecure 3) They might be compromising (respect) for the sake of another partner in a new relationship. I believe, you can never truely love someone and unlove them but we can love someone and chose not to be with them. So we will coin the phase "I still care about them" if we are being honest rather than say "I still love them him/her but we are just friends" for lack of a better way to put it. There is nothing harmful in being in a healthy relationship and still care for someone in a previous relationship. We as human beings are always afraid to expose what our hearts feel for fear of vulnerability or societal remarks. YES!!! It is possible to have freindship after a relationship ends but it does have to be an everyday thing. Just staying in good terms without any insecurites or immature expectations.
You can have friendship after love if both parties want that. Often it takes some time to get over the pain but if both are mature and understanding about the relationship and why it did not work out. And who knows, somewhere down the line it may change again.
You cannot love without friendship. friendship is a part of love, infact an essential one. In friendship you have already started loving. if you just want to go straight into a relationship without knowing the pserson, your are lusting. You can be friends after you get into a relationship but that will be after many storms/years of suffering together etc. Everyone really only cares about the meaning of thhe word love but only a few really care about the feeling of love.
