Is it okay to make friends with your ex if you already have a new BF/GF?

Wow, such a tough question! =) For me, it is always okay for us to make friend with our ex-es as long as it doesn't disturb our current relationship with our bf/gf. I won't bother if my love makes friend with the ex as long as we are still in right path. Making friends is not restricted only to some particular group of people, we can always make friends with anybody else around the world. It's just friend. But when it comes to love, it would be different story.

good gawd no its a terrible idea to make friends with an ex if you plan on having any future relationships that work. Trust me on this if my wife thought i was still talking to any of my exes id never ever live it down. though to thier face they would be all nice and fake a smile or two. wait til you get home you would never hear the end of it. the countless questions, speculations and the are you cheating on me speaches. trust me i know its not worth it. I went through this already and it wasnt even my ex it was my friends ex if it was mine id probably talking to you from the otherside lmao but seriously its not worth it

If the opportunity arises that you make friends with your ex, I guess it is alright provided that you have both moved on with your past relationship and that your current girlfriend does not have an issue against you being friends with your ex. Otherwise this will just cause conflict and you might end up having two exes.

I agree of what you have done actually. I also don't make friends with my ex anymore because I don't want my current boyfriend to have any misunderstandings in our relationship. Although sometimes we think that be friends with our ex is not a big deal but when it comes to commitment into a new relationship,sometimes it can be a provocation of a relationship problem. I think best still we should avoid our ex after a past relationship had ended.

The best deal is you can ask your girlfriend if she was allright, if you still making friend with your ex, if she said yes then go ahead, if no, then it is your decision to make it happen, because it will effecting you relationship with your current girlfriend though your girlfriend said it was ok after you trying to argue with her before, and also place your position in her shoes when she was making a friend with her ex, as a return, based on my experiences, my hons allowing me to keep my ex as a friend, without his existence while i was contacting my ex, and so do him

I feel the same way. Why bring an ex back into your life when they are your ex? It will only cause drama and problems with your current partner and its jsut a mess that should be avoided. Like you said, the past is the past.

I don't think it's a good idea because I will never be friends again with my ex. I mean I sometimes wonder in that case, what is the meaning of friendship!! There is a lot of difference between friends & lovers. It's not that possible to see someone you love as friends again, because love changes everything. A breakup brings end to everything but life moves on & we'll get someone better. Happy Lotting

hi earlzhan You should never feel obligated to be friends with your ex. There is no rule that says you have to. However if you are both okay with being just friends and seeing the other person date someone else then go for it. My ex and I are good friends but his new girlfriend hates me (for some reason that I don't know), but he just reminds her that he and I broke up for a reason and because of that reason we need to just be friends. She still hates me but she doesn't mind if we hang out now. So if you feel like your ex is someone you want to keep in your life; be friends with her.

hi, i would not make friends with my ex as i have my new bf. for me, it is not my problem to part with my ex, and i took so much time to recover. and i still loved my ex for a long time even we parted. if i make friends with my ex, my bf would be jealous definitely. and i do not wannna a quarrel between my bf and me.

I have always been good friends with my ex-girlfriend and they are part of my life that I could not forget and I just avoid. My girlriend is not jealous because I was always introduced to them and I emphasize need not be jealous because the current and future, I shared with her. They were my girlfriend in the past only me, so there is no reason to be jealous, because I also do not be weird to my ex-girlfriend. Right?

It's always better to have more friends than enemies. In my opinion, why not, I presume, it's ok for me, but I would never know how my gf would think about that. It's just friends. Just as long you don't go over the border, then everything is ok.

The funny this is, I have been in six relationships, ranging from six months up to two years. In that time, I have had my heart broken and yet still friends with ALL my exes. And the odd thing is ALL my exes became friends with each other lol. In my opinion, if you were friends before, you can remain friends unless they have really hurt you, or you hurt them. There should be no reason not to talk.

hi friend, from my point select your friend based upon his character and try to be with him always

i think its ok most of my ex boyfriends are my friends and they all continually get new girls and i have one steady bf and he doesnt mind that i am friends with me ex's i found it works better sometimes to be friends with some of them rather than when we were in a relatioship.

I not only think it is ok to be friends with your ex, it is ok for you to be friends with whoever you want no matter what anyone says or thinks!

hi. Its ok to make friends with her. That means that you are on the right attitude and not being motivated by anger or hatred. You are right, past is past and it is also a sign of growth and letting go and moving on. However, you have to consider the feelings of your new girlfried if it is okay with her. If you really love her, you have to be transparent to her so that your relationship will not be affected or disturbed by such petty issue. God bless.

Well, I think it depend on the type of relationship you are maintaining with your ex. If it is a friendship relationship only then there is no problem.

I do not see why you and your ex can not be friends. It do not mean that you will go places with your ex but if you see each other you will be friendly and say hi. Let your new GF know you are friends only that you are not angry with each other and can speak kindly of the other and to each other. You will not be going place with your ex that is as far as the friendship goes.

Definitely and absolutely no. Because what is the point of making friends after all of the break - up scenes and tears? If you want to start another life with another chapter and another scenario, leave your past behind and bury them under the ground. There is nothing more left in a ground where once a fire has started. Just be contented with the past sweet memories but do not ever try to revive an old flame especially when it is hopeless. When its over it is over.

earlzhan,I agree with you very much! i never contact with my ex-girlfriend ever. i alweays think that there is no necessary to contact with ex.Yes,you are right.To be friend with ex always bring unnecessary trouble.If my ex want to make friends with me,i will refused her frankly!
