You spend months or years building a life with this person, forming strong bonds as you get to know and continuously fall in love with them.
We all know how it goes; you get into a relationship with someone you think is ‘the one’ and life is amazing for a while.
Fortunately, the end of a relationship does not have to mean losing this wonderful person. Since good relationships have similar characteristics to good friendships, your former partner can go on to become a good friend if you handle things the right way.
