me again,
ok so a couple of thoughts,
might spark a thread,

Is it worth risking a friendship for love?
and can one really just have casual love with an ex?

answers where ever you feel like posting them

>Is it worth risking a friendship for love?
Generally I would say that it's not worth the risk, but maybe that is why I am single!

>and can one really just have casual love with an ex?
I had no problem in sleeping with my ex, however I think that guys generally find it easier to separate love and love. Of course, that isn't always a good thing...

Havin love with a ex is ok,
i have done in the past and it was gr8.
As long each person knows that it is just love and nothing more then love it should be ok.
just play and have fun no harm in that is there!

Not knocking the hussle here but to me, Friendship and love are like water and oil,they dont mix in my books.Especially if you have a conscience,morals and discipline.Friendship is worth much more than silver and gold,so to jeopardise it all,for the sake of weakness of the flesh /lust,aint cooland certainy aint worth it.

Now if you have a mutual agreement and understanding,that things will just be on a casual tip,then it should be communicated effectively lol,so that ones emotions ,dont overule their thinking.I say this because the heart is a funny muscle,and emotions do tend get in the way big time,but people play it down

> Is it worth risking a friendship for love?
Generally, no. Like most of these things, it's impossible to say without knowing the full story, but when a relationship ceases to be platonic it's almost impossible to get it back there again. It's a risk: How much do you value the friendship?
How would you feel if that person disappeared from your life?
(If it's a friend's husband or boyfriend - just say, No! )

> and can one really just have casual love with an ex?
Generally, no. If neither party is in a relationship and they've talk about it and neither feels that the love is anything more than just love and they continue to feel that way - then maybe.
But as rastaman1 says, 'The heart is a funny muscle'. (loved that! )
Most times one of the parties is hoping something wonderful is going to happen...
And it's not necessarily mindboggling orgasms!
How long would this FB state last? What happens if either starts another relationship?
If it's an ex-husband, or ex-live-in boyfriend, and there are children involved, it might leave them pretty confused.

My 2 cents.

Greetings Handsel,yes I agree with your opinion, similar views in a sense:d
One Love

Morning,
well I have once taken a relationship on from friendship, but then i reasoned it wasn't really a very good friendship, and the sexual tension between us was the only reason we even spoke to each other, at the time we were both in relationships so nothing happened, but then no surprises, when the relationships ended, we had a no strings love thing, which was great, amazing whilst it lasted but it was seriously a case of firework and match. It was going to go up, and did reguarly, and despite the burns, we kept doing it.

Still learning from mistakes, is a great way of learning, we were incompatable in most every other sense, so I knew it would never go anywhere. But as said before, it doesnt mean the heart is just going to get involved at some point.

That said, even if i could go back and change things I dont think I would, an amazing 2 years of my life, and I wouldnt be the person I am, had that not happened.

And as for the love with the ex, I agree, I think its a disaster waiting to happen, hence why I wont go there, It's not that ~I dont trust myself as I know, I wouldnt want that relationship again, but I cant trust him, so its just not worth it.

Gone on again for ages but now its coffee break
