Are you still friends with your ex?

ya i'm still friends with all my exes. i think tht just cuz things didnt workout it dosent mean tht we cant be friends. i've been friends with all my exes tht i care about and love. why should a relationship end why cant u just change the type of relationship. sometimes people make better friends then partners. if u have something good with someone and u dont want it to end but its not working out its sometime easier to just be there friend. i love having my exes be my friends but they know not to get into my relationships. all the girls i've been with are cool and chill and care about me, tht they want me to be happy tht they dont get jelous when i'm dating someone else.

I think it would be nice to be friends with my ex because he is a very nice person. We only split up because he wanted to go travelling and i need a little bit more stability. I had allsorts of restrictions, because im in the process of being naturalised in another country. It wasnt the right time to travel europe. It was a difficult spilt and i broke off all contact until earlier this year when my father passed away. They were very close and ive spoken to him a few times since i had to tell him the news. Its horrible. Im supposed to have moved on, (Its been 3 yrs and i am living with my new partner) but i cant help but think what if and how much i really miss him, because he was my best friend. The conversations are also very akward. I dont think every relationship can end in frienship but i know there must be some.

I haven't stayed friends with my exes either. I wanted to stay friends with them at first, but now I think it is just best to let it all be in the past and just keep away from them. I did stay friends with one of my exes for about a couple years after we broke up, but sometimes he would act strange and try to act like we were still together or something, so I had to just cut off the communication eventually. Another guy I used to date was really just not a good guy, so I definitely don't talk to him anymore. We didn't date for that long, and he really didn't treat me well while we were together, and I also found out that he tried to tell some lies about me after we broke up, so he was definitely bad news! Anyway, I haven't talked to any of my exes in years, and I think it's best that way for me cause I just want to keep them in the past, and now I'm married to a wonderful man, so I am more than happy just being best friends with him! :) It is too bad that you've had to stop being friends with your ex if you still get along well, but it was very considerate of you to be willing to cut off the friendship to keep from hurting his wife! :)

Yup I still love my ex. and We are still friends.

yes, it is best to keep the ex away from the present..i seen my last ex and she still looks the same after about 25 years..but my wife was out of the country..it was on my BD and she invited to take me out for my BD..duh? no as i know that this would have been like WWIII..so i told her I am married and thanks for the invite but I could not do this to my wife...and this was my ex wife asking..not an ex girlfriend..still an ex is an ex..but I know I would have been cutting my throat if I would have entertained this thought..this would be the cruelest cut of all..going with an ex.. my first ex and I had a boy and a girl and i would see her in front of my wife or maybe with my 37 year old daughter or 36 year old son..maybe..but an ex is an ex that is why they are exes..if i was a single guy? maybe..but I found out through the years not to play with fire..as someone is going to be burnt...Hell has no fury like a women scorned..and men don't like it either..

no. for me if we could have a good relationship as lovers then we could not have a good relationship as friends. well actually i myself dont have a lot of friends. i am a kind of person that would rather be home than to be with friends. during my high school days i got a lot of friends but they just made me to do things they cant. they are all relying on me and taking advantage of me. so i would rather be home than to hang out with people like that. my best friend now is my wife and my son.

I talk to my ex all the time. we have 3 children together and we co-own a rental property. When we first split it wasn't all that friendly. We get along good now though. We have both re-married and have daughter's around the same age. We still spend every Christmas together. Neither one of us want to miss a holiday with the kids. We have been divorced for over 5 years now and split up for 6.

Yes i think it was good of you to back off, meddling exes only cause future troubles when it is really not worth holding onto a broken relationship to stay friends. I think it is good to be able to stay friends with your exes as long as it stays that way and they dont just think things will go further whenever they please. I have a couple of exes that are still good mates, i suppose that's all they should have been from the start, but i like to learn things the hard way i think. And these boys know now what its like and dont try to make it anything else, even when they try to talk tough, they give in. Everytime.

Hey it depends if they are mates with my mates or not.

Well, it all depends if that person did something completely messed up that you wouldnt forget what they did becuase it was the reason you broke up in the first place. I'd like to think friends would never break apart but there just some things you cant forget or dont want to forget. I mean its hard to know that stuff like that happends but its those reasons that make things harder to get over. Even for an average person who has these things happen all the time, its just hard.

I am still best friends with my ex. We were best friends for 2 years before we starting dating.Then we were in a very serious relationship for 2 years. We even lived together. When we broke up we were still very much in love, but at the time we were both dealing with self issues and dealing with them in completely different ways and we were very young. We keep in touch on a daily basis. We're both now in great relationships, but still believe that we are soul mates. Because, yes, everyone has a soul mate...you just may not be ment to spend your life with them.

I am still friends with my ex. She calls often and we chat and joke. That does not mean that I am going back. She has a son whom i consider as my own. Heis lucky to have both his biologial father and me to love and cherish him. Life is too short to stay mad with each other. We make our mistakes, adjust accordingly and move on. But animosity? No way.

Yes, I think it's not a reason for us to stop communicating with our exes. If we broke up in the good situation, it's really easy to start another friend relationship.

The two exes that I have are still my friends though there's some changes since we all have our own lives. Like the communication has lessen, the way you treat each other must be very casual not unlike before unless you want a fight with his or my partner.

I don't have an ex, but my husband has a few o them. Thery all have children together. They sometimes get along for the sake of the children, but occasionally the exes like to stir things up for us, so we don't always know they are friend or foe.

yes! we started as friends so..we ended as friends! hehe!

Well... I'm not sure if you can consider it as "friendship", we say hi or hello if we happen to stumble to each other but I will not go and ask for his help if ever I have problems or if I'm in a difficult situation. We are not enemies but I don't think we are friends either ...

well i didn't maintain a friendship with any of my ex-es. it seems so strange to remain friends with someone whom i've shared such intimacy with. also, i don't want their new partner to get the wrong idea. i don't even want him to get the wrong idea. i've got an ex who thought that i remained friends with him because i've still got the hots for him. it's really funny how some people are wired to think. so as a precaution, i just stop communicating with any of my ex-es.

I would not consider my ex husband a friend really. It was a very painful marriage. For the sake of the kids tho we did manage to find a way to be on friendly terms. Ex boyfriends? Yes , I am friends with most of them.

I am still friends with my first ex husband. We have been divorced for 19yrs and still have remained friends. He was there for me when I was a victim of domestic assault and is still a good friend. Neither one of us wants to get together again in a romantic sense because he has someone new, as do I. He is coming down to see our daughter next month and it will be fun. She is 20, and anxious to see him. We still talk on the phone weekly and will always remain friends.
