being friend with your ex-lover

Hi there! I think we all know the fact that if we really loved somebody so much and we parted ways with them, it is hard to be friends with them. This is really a fact. But I do agree with you that it is good to be great friends because at least you still spent so many happy memories together.

Hi kerrianc, this situation is always happened to many of us. Actually, my point of view it depends on the situation. It's good to become a friend to our ex if we don't have the love towards our ex lover. If the love is gone so it's really good to have the friendship but we still have the love we it's better to satay away because one thing for sure: we are going to hurt ourselves to see our ex be with someone else. Well, that's my opinion and I know not all of us will agree with my statement. Anyway, thank you for coming with a good topic.

Hi there kerrianc! I know that befriending an ex-lover isn't that easy. Most lovers end up hating each other for their own reasons. But not me.. all my life, I have had two ex-lovers and both of them are still friends of mine till now. Though the spark, passion, and closeness have gone, but the friendship we've had still remained. We may not spend time together as much as we did before but we still are friends and we know that we could still count on each other's arms when there is really a need to. Till here :)

My best friend happens to be an ex-girlfriend. Our relationship was always based as much on common interests and a similar outlook on life as anything else, so it was natural that when our "relationship" ended we'd carry on being mates. It's not like we had some big argument or anything, the relationship just evolved, as they tend to.

Once you start dating somebody else, you can pretty much kiss that friendship goodbye. It would be VERY rare for someone to find a girlfriend who could stand you having a ex-girlfriend as a friend.

all my ex are now my friends..they even ask me advices with their new girlfriends..i think its nice to continue your friendship with your ex lovers. I dont find any problem with that..i am enjoying having them as my friendds..now i can talk to them comfortably and as much easy than before when we were together. I have also discovered more now that we're friends..Being friends with your ex is easy if you broke up nicely and it is fun..

it is really nice i think. actually it needs a lot of freeness and guts to be friend with ex, but in lfe after taht, there can be some problems as well. the new partner may not like it.

I should say that most time we thought everything better than it real be, before broken relationship with my first lover, I heard somebody mentioned this point, and I thought I could still be friend with my ex-lover, but the truth prove that is wrong, we completely no contact since our relationshipt broke down. While I'm not deny there will still be friendship between ex-lovers, but I can say 'few'

Yes, I agree with the comments. And I think it depends upon the situation you and your ex had. If you had a good break up then maybe it's nice to continue that friendship but if not then there's no way of continuing that so called friendship.

in my own point of view, i guess it depends. but there are really exes who are really worth keeping as a friend, yet there are some who aren't. sometimes though it's hard to stay as a friend to an ex especially if you still have feelings for him/her. sometimes the line of friendship and romantic love is blurred. right now, i've got someone who i want to keep. but co'z of his problem, he is somewhat shutting me out from his life. he was my ex. and he needs help, and as a friend i want to help him though i don't know where i can start since he has not been replying to my emails.

its very hard to be friend with ex-lover.becoming friend with ex-lover will make to feel uneasy when u r with him/her.it makes to think about the past and results in even more worse condition

Yes, I believe so...

Well,i'd like to say is that whether to be friend with your ex-lover or not depends on the reasons which make you break up and your characters.However,for me,that's impossible because he made me so painful and hopeless. Nevertheless,i'll search for the next person who i think will be my MR.Right.

well... i agree with that my friend, me and my girlfriend broke up last month.... but rather we agreed to be friends again.... who knows? we cannot blame our partner if they will set part, if your ralationship as boyfriens/girlfriends will not work but in friendship works best.... just leave it to the Lord, coz, God will lead the way.. :)
