Can you really stay friends with an ex - part 3

I have been pondering the answer to this question for over two years now and have been swaying back and forth trying to give you an answer based on my experience.
And while I think in some circumstances you can stay friends with an ex - in my case I don't think it is going to be possible.
For the past few months my ex and I have slowly been drifting apart, talking less and less and not seeing one another and this hasn't bothered me.
The clincher came the last time I saw him about six weeks and as he was telling me about his life I realised he isn't the same man that I met five years ago.
This is no bad thing but we have less and less things in common and have naturally drifted apart.
We will still keep in touch and it is nice to know that he will always be there for me but it is also nice to know that I no longer rely on him and can move on with my life without him.
Have you ever stayed good friends with an ex? Or do you think it is better to call it a day as soon as the relationship ends?
