The only exes I'm friends with are ones where we had a long period of not talking to eachother after the breakup. Trying to stay in contact the first year just complicates things.
And yes, once you konw it needs to end, end it. If you care about her, it's the most 'humane' thing you can do...give her the maximum amount of time to get on with her life.
I did it, it was hard, I had no ill will towards the girl (I even paid two months rent on our shared apartment after breaking up with her and moving out so she wouldn't be stuck financially), but it needed to end, and she's better off now than if I had strung it out for another six months, as she's six months farther along getting over it.
