I've stayed friends with all of my ex's (except one). I can tell you it's one of the hardest things to do, the benefit? Well if you're strong enough you can be friends with someone you've shared so much with. The cost? you HAVE to be strong enough to resist all urges to be with her, which includes sexually. Because to one of you it will turn into make-up sex, and that causes all sorts of problems.
Be friends if you think you're strong enough, even to this day it's hard for me.
If you've ever been rejected by someone you really like... multiply that 50x, and that is what you will feel when you see her with her new BF. It's well worth it IMO, but it's hard.
