If that's true then were was the friendship? Was there ever a friendship?
Things change. Can there ever be anything if it is not forever? Of course!
Then the statement that they would always remain friends and that the friendship was the important thing was a lie.
Do friends let friends drive and lie?

I guess if you have nothing to say you might as well make it sound interesting.

To me it doesn't sound like they were friends in the non-romantic sense. The only examples i can think of for lovers remaining friends after breaking up is when kids are involved, and even then it is likely forced ime.

I am kind of drawing the same conclusion. I think Grapefruit wondered if friendship was even possible in the unconditional sense or even semi unconditional. I guess it all comes down to how you define friendship.

I think breaking affairs can break friendships too, so one never can be sure about a remaining friendship after an affair. So it was just an assumption, a self told lie in form of a hope for self comfort imo and ime.

I've remained friends with most of my ex's. Some for 40 years. Course I'm such a sweetheart that it's easy for them.

Right. You understand what I so crudely described earlier. Given the supposedly hypothetical situation by the Ice man, it sounds like they were both boning someone else during the "friends" phase. So they could tell that lover "oh well we are just friends" as they schemed to be more.
The whole affair sounds shady to me.

Well personally speaking I had a lover who was never a friend who in fact told me that I was far less than a friend in spite of the fact that they wanted to have my baby. Some women are plain psycho what can you do but get the hell away. Friends? If it wasn't there during the fuck phase if sure as hell ain't going to develop after.
And seriously folks "let's be friends" has to be the lamest breakup ever. People never mean that when they say that. Move on.

If you're gonna be friends with an ex it's gonna be long after the breakup.

Generally right after they break up with their next lover and call you up for solace.

That does happen. Some things about women are not to be admired.
