Of course not. Relationships could even start friendships. I am still friends with my ex. Best friends, actually.

Relationships are more complex then we imagine and when breakups happen, things get worse. It affects everyone around us.Sometimes when a friend is directly involved in our relationship, friendships go down hill.

Relationships tend to end because both parties aren't able to come to an agreement, or things just don't work out. Therefore, as friends, there tends to be tension about things that had happened during the relationship or things just are awkward. Breakups are difficult and one person may need time on their own to figure things out and move on.

It's hard to remain friends with someone who you have had or still have feelings for. Having a romantic past can sometimes make friendships complicated.

Relationships start off as friendships and sadly once those end we can only think about the reason why it ended and that ruins the friendship.

Depends on what do you mean by friendship here. If you mean friendship as in friendship between you and your ex partner then it's mostly because of bitterness, staying friends after breakup is hard and often doesn't work out. It's possible to stay friends but I've noticed that it's either because you never really loved each other or you still love each other. If you mean ruining friendship as in your relationship with someone ruins your friendship with someone else then I'd blame envy or simply not having enough time due to being in a relationship which takes priority over other friends.

Relationships can ruin friendships either because the person in the relationship can't balance their time between their friends and their lover , or because their lover was their friend . Breakups can ruin friendships because it's too awkward or complicated to stay as friends , OR , they were already friends and can't see each other as " just friends " anymore because of their romantic past .

Not always, but they do have an impact on them a lot of the time. It can be difficult to remain friends with someone when people have leftover feelings. Relationships rarely end mutually. The best way to be friends with someone after a relationship is with time, when it can be assured that there are no romantic or emotional feelings that can impact a friendship.

It depends on the relationship of the two people involved. Some couples used to be good friends then it turns out that they broke up, some people don't like to be friends with their exes especially when they haven't moved on yet. It might be very heart breaking nor depressing. Some people choose to get over the memories they had and the person they made it with. So that's why most of us prefer to be friends with the person we want to stay rather than to build a relationship with him that might have consequences and risk or chances that they might go away from our lives.
