I have a friend who has been in a relationship (marriage) with a woman for 5 years. They broke up because she was seeing other men behind his back and he was very angry with her (no doubt!). But any way, now he has began a new family and claims to be very happy. Recently his ex wife contacted him to make amends and become friends, but he refused saying that what she had done hurt him very much. And the world can't be like the scripts of a soap opera, where people can be friends with their ex lovers.
I personally think he still loves her and think about this woman, and that's why he has this reaction.

true love hapens only once in life.so whether it is with u or not it hardly matters,one cant forget it all throughout his or life.may b ur frnd still loves her.bt he is true.he sud nt b frnds to his ex.she cheated him.if the break up wud had been mutually then frendship is still ok bt not where one cheats.cheating is one which i can never forgive

its only depends upon your mind set at that time.but for always most of the people looking their surroundings, or if he got married another, he might feel badly in front of new one!but for me! its hurt once you separated. after that don't he remember his past memories while he was with her! its better to far away both!

My ex and i have grown children and grandchildren and we all live close together so there are many times (LIke tomorrow)when we all need to be in the same place, now although we are not like real friendly we can get along in a time of need.

I do think you can become good friends after a divorce. Although it does depend on the situation. Sometimes, you split up just because you grow apart, or you argue all of the time. But when someone cheats on you, I think that is a totally different story. It depends on the whole situation.
