When an relationship ends, it’s something that’s generally pretty sad for everyone involved. When it’s a relationship that didn’t last very long, it’s a little easier to break away cleanly. But, when it’s one that took a little time to build, one lasting a couple of years, it’s a little tougher. For a couple that has been going out for a while, there will be a little more to the equation. For instance, all of your friends may have bonded, and do not want them to be excluded from the group because they’ve spent a lot of time together. With that said, for whatever reason, a woman may want to stay friends with their boyfriend. This is no easy task, especially if the breakup was a little climatic. A lot of the time, a friendship can’t be salvaged, and that’s something that you’ll have to live with.

For the woman who wants to stay friends with their boyfriend, they’re going to have to do a little more than just say it. Most people getting out of a relationship will say that they want to be friends, but generally don’t want to. It’s just something that’s said, but generally not meant. You’re going to have to sell it, and sell it well. Tell them all of the things that you guys like to do, and the things that you can’t imagine doing without him. Hopefully, he can see through the regular relationship ending talk and decide that he couldn’t do them without you, as well.
