Forget history, forget everything but this:
Break-ups are virtually never truly mutual...
Almost every time one of the people are hoping for it to work out. 'Just friends' is simply a way to slowly make up your minds that you can live without the relationship.
If one of you is hanging on ask yourself which one is it?
It's usually the one working hardest at it...
making all the calls...
setting up plans...
getting stood up...
being imposed upon...
wish it was like it used to be... etc.
'Just friends' can work out very well... It just needs to be a while after the relationship, when you are both able to live without each other.
