[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my 20s. On and off in between other reltionships. Eventually we realized we would never find "the one" if we kept having this ongoing thing to fall back on. We stayed friends,  but not physical, and in the next year we both met other people - my now husband, and he had a long term girlfriend, and after that his now wife. We are still friends, but breaking off the benefits part was good for both of us to proceed into healthier relationships.[/quote]

NP...  Why weren't you a couple? And how do you now continue to be friends? Doesn't it feel weird?

I'm asking because I'm considering starting a business with an ex (we're both now married, no chance/interest in getting together), but I think it would just be weird.[/quote]

We just weren't meant to be. In college and beyond we had similar interests and just had a lot of fun together. But I guess we both had little quirks that we couldnt get past that caused bickering. And general bigger values/religion/long term goals that were not aligned. We always had/have fun together, but we are not couple material.

I adore him as a person and think his wife is a wonderful person and a good fit for him. My husband and I are a good team in a way that the ex and I never were.

This isn't for everyone, I know. But we are mature enough and our spouses have and respect co ed friendships.[/quote]
