After many breakups friendship just doesn't make sense--e.g., one spouse has poor traits for a friend such as lying, cheating, or abuse.. OR you and their paths in life have little in common.. OR you wouldn't enjoy their company if they were to find a new partner and you had to watch them being all lovey-dovey.

No 2x4s here. That's a fine goal.
I have been reading more of what you've said on this in other posts CWarrior. We don't fit the first two criteria, but I am starting to wonder how I would be able to handle her being with someone else - if I could really be a friend if that becomes reality. It's just so hard to know right now, especially since I've never been in this situation before (first LTR).
