But seriously, it's not so much of a rambling when you have an open mind. What I've done is I've given you something to think about, and I've given you the chance to read in between the lines.

True, but typically doesn't one "read between the lines" himself as opposed to being told what's in between the lines?

But in response to the question, I think it is possible to remain friends, but it will probably require time. And certainly it depends on the nature of the breakup, and of what the relationship was like in the first place.
