The more interesting question is do WE want to be their friends and WHY? ? ? Can we be friends without hurting, expecting, or losing part of ourselves?



This is the question that torments me, H2H. Sigh.
Part of the answer is in whether they really prove to be a friend. And I suppose another part is how we feel towards them when we're feeling our most strong self. But...argh...still struggling with this one.

Speaking of exes being friends, I had a nice time seeing both my ex-LTRs in Boston...
