After we broke up (it was mutual, we were better as friends), we both stressed that we wanted to stay friends. The first few weeks it wasnt awkward just different. But now, about 5 months later, we are best friends. His family loves me and considers me part of the family. We are really close. And I'm so thankful for that because I know most relationships end in a bad note or their relationship goes down to nothing. I just was wondering if what I have is rare?
