Is it possible for you to be friend with an ex boy/girlfriend?

Yes it is easy. But not right after the break-up. Of course, you have to let the pain go away. Right?

although it might be awkward, but i'm still able to be friends with my ex. it's hard and it might take a while for me to treat them like a normal friend, like everything's ok..but i don't want to lose any friends, and perhaps if we can't be lovers we might be better off as friends.

Yeah, I can say I could be a friend to my ex. I have been friends with them too. Well, most of them. There are those who are too 'bitter' to move on. But most are still my friends, even if the break-up was a nasty sight. *LOL* Yeah, I take no grudges, and found that most are better off as friends. =)

No. It is not easy for me to be friends with an ex. It's like once it's over, it's over. Get out of my life. Especially if we ended bad. The only way we would be friends is if I was trying to get back with him. :)

I am divorced and very reluctant to see my ex especially with his new lady friend. A wise man explained to me that there is nothing wrong with me and there is probably nothing wrong with my ex, it was the partnership that was wrong and didn't work. One person doesn't cause a marriage or relationship to fail, it is a combination of things. If we can recognise our own failure then we can forgive our ex partners and surely we can then be friends. I think there needs to be time for healing and coming to terms before this can happen. The fact that you saw each other after 4 years has probably allowed this friendship. Best of luck to you. Embrace it, don't analyze it.

Yes, it's possible but only when you have both healed and gotten over each other. Especially if you have found someone else to love. The reason why your friendship now is working is because you have both moved on with your lives. Something that is not possible if any of you are still hurting and wanting.

It's not only possible to be friends with an ex, it's also a very good idea, especially if the partners had children together, be they biological, adopted, foster, step, or any other relationship in which they were both involved in the children's lives. My fiance and I are BOTH on good terms with his ex-wife, making it easier on all of us, especially their son who is staying with us for the summer.

hey maean_19!It's possible if it was mutual but I don't think it's possible for me to be friends with an ex.All I have for my ex boyfriends is hatred.I'm glad you can befriend your ex.but the truth is,I'll have to thank my exes for because of them,I've lost quite a bit of weight and looking better than when I was with them.Hope this helps!

thats really true. most of the time you end up as best of friends with your ex. isn't it a nice feeling. the past is past.

i have friends that are my ex's but there are ex's that i couldn't even be any where near now, let alone friends. When u have loved someone or even cared about them deeply the its hard to become nothing to each other. u share a intimacy with them that u don't share with many. However, sometimes its better to leave the past in the past. Circumstances of the relationship & the break up will play a large part in whether you can mantain a friendship after the end of the relationship as well as the personalities of the people involved. Only u can decide if it is approariate for this current situation.

In my view,you can .because,nothing is impossible,if you treat each other rightly .
