If you loved each other so much before a breakup, why is it so hard to stay friends after the break up?

The love kinda turns into bitterness. You probably see the person and immediately remember how he/she hurt you and you don't want to be around the person that made you feel like that. Or maybe feelings go away and there is no point staying in any relationship with that person because you do not see the reason why.

It feels clumsy to talk to each other. Communicating to each other after a break up brings pain - one of the partners want to move forward but somehow doesn't want to hurt his ex-partner which makes him hesitate, It seems like staying friends is needless.

Exes are exes for a reason. When you take sex out of the equation, it makes it hard to just have to "friends" only part. When you break up its for a reason and you and that person were not compatable. It is best to bygones be bygones and not be friends with exes.

Because it's hard to forget someone that gave you so much to remember. So every time you see each other, you remember all the happiness and that just makes you feel akward, I guess

After you break up its so hard to see the person you love love on. There's no more chances now you really got to move on.

People are often wounded after a breakup and they tend to want to stay away from a person afterward.

It will make you miss being together, and it will be hard to just 'be friends'. You will want to get back together with him or her.

This is due to the fact that for two people to become a couple they create an attachment. This is also the reason why there are friends with benefits, because there are no strings attached. Also remaining friends after a break up can be difficult, due to the past feelings one or the other will have.
