Lines: 13 Summary: You can stay friends with an XSO. With regards to staying friends with an XSO, one of my closest friends today was a SO in college 7 years ago. Happily, it was a relationship where we both simply found we weren't getting what we needed together, so we were able to back off and still remain close friends. Just 2 weeks ago, I had the honor of being in the wedding party at her wedding (something I wouldn't have missed for the world). Not all relationships end as calmly as this one did, but it is certainly possible to remain friends after the breakup. Mark Ellson ihnp4!amd!cae780 \ > !leadsv!mfe ucbvax!sun!sunncal/
