Why can't we be friends?

The celebrities putting us all to shame

Sarah Larson wasn't just the luckiest girl in the world for a year - she's also one of the most reasonable.

You'd think that after splitting from the world's most eligible bachelor, George Clooney, Sarah might be a little bitter (and who could blame her?) But the former Fear Factor contestant is anything but, claiming the two remain friends.

"George is a great guy, a wonderful person. We still remain friends and have kept in touch. In fact, we spoke over the phone a couple of days ago."

It got us thinking about the other celebrities who've managed to set aside their egos and maintain friendships with their exes - Kate and Chris, Demi and Bruce, and the other, not-so-public amicable exes.

No, you can't be friends with your ex if you want to move forward with your life. It's human nature, and if any body believes otherwise, name me a couple who have remained friends over a long period of time and their new partners are dancing around the mulberry bush about it.  Report thisReport this

We found out we are better as friends. I'd rather stay friends with the guy then forget it ever happened. If you had a bad break up then its different but because we had a good break up then we can still talk and everything. It's not a problem.  Report thisReport this

You can most definitely be friends with your ex/s. Some breakups are pretty bad and there's just no point but it is worth it to try to establish a friendship if you can. Just because you can't live with someone and it doesn't work as lovers.....doesn't mean to say you can't still love them as a friend. Stops the good memories being tarnished.  Report thisReport this

Of course you can. Just because you weren't great as a couple doesn't mean you won't be great as friends. Obviously depends on the circumstances of the break up, but I'm still friends with mine 3 years on. We just realised we weren't suited and moved on. In fact, he's just started seeing my best friend, and I couldn't be happier for both of them, if they make each other happy then why not!   Report thisReport this
