I still talk to my EX(es)... when we see each other by accident, we're like long time bestfriends that haven't seen each other for years
No matter how bad our relationship ended, we both find ways to save the friendship
and it's nice if that happens...
it don't matter anymore who is to blame...just save the friendship.
How about you.......do you still talk to your EX?

Hello again patofgold,
I am doing my rounds again, and I opened your profile to respond to your discussions. I find your discussion really interesting. You are a smart discussion starter.
Anyway, I have ex(es) that still I talk to whether through the web or personally, but it seldom happens. I don't see my ex often, maybe because we have our own lives to live. But if ever the chance would come, I won't hesitate talking to them again,
Actually, there are some ex(es) that I want to talk to, just to clear things out and just want to see how they are doing.
I also want my ex to stay as my friends since some of them are my friends or buddy before we had a relationship
happy posting

Hi,
It's not just you who is earning here. hahaha.
you see, this is just a two way relationship.
sometimes, being a good friend with a friend is very nice. because you know each other already.

Hi red...
oh wow..you're earning me tons today..lolz...
thanks, what nice words to say...I start discussions from my points of view and I wish to share it with my fellow mylotters...
I am very much a human, so I guess that makes a lot relate to my discussions more.
Anyways...I am soo close with my exes..especially to 2 of them...they would definitely kill for me loollzzz..they haven't done that, but they are willing to go to that extent...it's just that we are so close and I know our friendship will turly last....

Yes,I do.But it seems a bit embarassed for both of us.After all we are lovers before and now she has her new boyfriend.I just couldn't control myself from thinking about the time when we are together.So for me,it is a fact which is hard to accept.I also find that she is intended to avoid me because she thinks that talking to me as a friend is not easy,even we know that we are still friends.I do believe that time is the best solution and we need time to get adapted to be friend to each other.

Yes,to some degree.However,we can not go back to what we used to be.And she has her new life.I don't want to bother.We both have to move on. Well,it's a little tough but I think I must haddle it.

oh, if it creates a problem with your bf, I guess you should explain to him what your intentions are...
besides you know your boundaries.
but if it would help to be a little distant, maybe... just stay friends still

but knowing you still keep in touch is a wonderful thing....

I had many past relationship. Eventhough we are through.I always be the first one to approach and let it grow even we are not un a romantic mode. It makes us lucky because we enjoyed each other company and we have bond more than we could imagine.. its nice to have a romantic relationship but its better to have a relatuionship that will last.

The past is the past. I have no problem talking to my ex. We dont. Probably because his present feels im a threat. I dont know why. I had it before dont want it no more. No thanks you can have him. You can try to live happy ever after. I know i will.

Ya, especially when children are involved. I guess the ex thinks that water is thicker than blood. Its ok they are grown now a they dont give him a second of their time either. I never talked bad about him to the kids. They just figured him out for themselves.

Yup.. I'm still friends with many people that I have dated in the past. We were friends before we dated, and if we get along AFTER the end of a relationship, great. If the new person that I date doesn't like it, too bad. They were my friend probably before the new crush came along, and will probably be around as my friend longer than that new person will be in my life.

One day after brake up with my ex, I call him, but he didn't respond. We brake up with nice and no quarrel but I don't know why he acting like that,,so now I never contact him anymore. If he contact me I will answer, but I don't wanna start first. Actually I don't mind to contact or talk with my ex and I agree with you in save the friendship, but what can I do if he doesn't want it?
@patofgold23 (5069)

well... if that's the case... I suggest you keep your pride than keep your friendship... he's not worth it the way he's acting like that

Yes,that's why i never contact him anymore, not because I don't appreciate him, but because he didn't want it and I don't need him too..
Yep, that's a waste of time thinking or trying to contact him..
Thanks for the comments from you two

At least you are being the bigger person about it, if he wants to play games then leave him be and dont spend your time worrying about it

Yes but we don't have a meeting for a long time. We just talk online or sometimes by telephone if there's something very urgent. Well i'm a person who are lazy to contact with others but my ex tries very hard to keep this relationship because he does feel a little guilty that he hurt me heavily. Therefore he tries to help out when i'm in trouble. Well we are more like brother and sister now.

I have a couple ex's from high school and I still talk to them if I see them in the store or somewhere. I saw one of my ex's at the race track because his brother races the little legend cars and we stopped and spoke. I also have some of my ex's on my facebook page and we will talk to each other every once in a while. There is no physical connection anymore we are just being nice and keeping in touch. My husband doesn't care if I speak to them because he knows I'm his wife and I'm not going anywhere. He trusts me and I trust him too.

hi potofgold!^^
i still talk to my ex. but we're not like long time bestfriends just like how you are with your ex. we're still friends though. no grudges or whatsoever. sometimes my ex comes over in our town and i'm there to give him a tour or help him go wherever he wants to. past is past. let bygones be bygones. whatever happen happened. we can just learn from it and charge it to experience. but we're the ones who are living today and that what's matters.

I still remain friends with my most recent ex, he actually has helped me through some health issues. We broke up two years ago, during that time he met someone else, but they only lasted 4 months. Since then she has tried to remain in contact with him, but he does not want any contact with her at all. But he does with me, so I do think it also may depend on how long you are with someone. We were together for 10 years.

I still communicate with her. We haven't talked in a long time. But we are friends on Facebook so we do "talk" in that sense :)
She's busy up in the mountains with her new hubby and her work and I'm busy down here on the valley floor with my new family.

yeah i still talk to my ex, it is one of those weird things. we broke up becase of a geographical thing, we had to break up because he went back to australia. if things were different we would still be together. but we were the best of friends before we started dating so our friendship remained intact we talk all time time, and it works out well because there is a 14 hour time difference between us.
we still advise each other and carry out friend duties long distance.

yeah it does and i can confide in him and tell him anything and i know that he will not judge me, and he knows where most of my skeletons are hidden. you know the saying that goes a friend will help you hide and a god friend will help you hide the body. well he falls into the latter camp. he would totally help me to hide a body if need be. he would even donate an organ to me if i needed one. we are pretty tight. and even if some time passes before we see each other, when we do see each other it is like that time never passed. we are basically the same person. so girl/boyfriends may come and go, but i know that we shall be going strong in the future, we have plans to end up in the same nursing home *lol*

I have one Ex that I'll never speak to again if it's at all possible, and a couple more that I still see and have a friendly relationship, and lastly, one who is my best friend in the entire world and I couldn't live without.
The latter, I speak to every day, the few in the middle I talk to occasionally if we happen to see each other when friends get together and I still adore them as friends. The one I never speak to can cease to exist for all I care. He made my life miserable while I was with him and he's not going to do it now that I'm not.
