will you keep in touch with your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend?

Actually I face the same problem with you.My ex-boyfriend begins to date with a girl in our class.I and my ex are in the same class.It's a crazy thing that three of us are in the same class and I can see them almost every day.Then I realised we can't be friends any more.I t's too hard for me to face them hand in hand.I think it's better to be strangers.I'd rather he disappear in my life and I won't see him any more.I just want to live a peaceful life to do what I want to.

well in my opinion it is your own choice... I guess the reason that you feel uncomfortable is that you still have some left feelings for him. When I broke up with my ex-bf and decided to be just friends... at first it is really uncomfortable and then I found out that the reason behind it...is that I have some feelings for him that its hard for me to act as his friend only... When time comes that I realized that I already get over with him... that's the time I said to my self it is really fine that we still keep in touch but as a good friend only. It's never been hard since that day... and I am very much comfortable talking to him as if we are like best friends.. He has his own life now and I had mine too.

The intention is always to do that, and in each case I have tried. It doesn't usually work out though. As much as you say you're going to be adults about it, its difficult to leave what you had behind. At first its easier, but as soon as they get another partner it starts getting very difficult. I remember a former girlfriend that I lived together with, for two years. We broke up without too much bad feelings and remained friends, we stayed friends for several years after, even as she got other boyfriends and I other girlfriends, but when she met someone that she got engaged with, it became very difficult. I even got invited to the wedding, and almost went, but it was just too difficult. It didn't help either that the guy always looked at me suspiciously. He always had this "why are you still hanging out with your old boyfriend" look on his face when i was with her. That the other factor when considering whether you keep in touch with your ex. How their new partner takes it.

Im glad that you manage to be friend with your ex boyfriend but in my case I dont have the nerve to fall from relationship to friendship. It doesnt work on me. All my ex boyfriend was in my strangers list. Im not telling you to stop communicating with him who knows you can be as good friend as you can be or lovers again remember love is sweeter the second time around.

It's nice trying to remain friends after that. I tried to do so with my ex-boyfriend too, but unfortunately, when both parties don't want to do so, is impossible, so now my ex and me are completely strangers. Not all people knows how to keep a friendship afterwards, some will just run away as far as they can. I hope you can make your friendship with your ex work.

I know how you feel with the "uncomfortable feeling". Don't worry, it's normal to be like that. It'll never be the same kind of friendship since you guys went out. I would know, I hate that feeling. It's like you can't talk to them about the same things anymore and it was like you guys did all that for nothing. But it's up to you whether to decide if you should still be his friend. You know him more, you decide =].

I think it depends entirely on how you broke up, if one person is still interested in the other then it'd be difficult for the two to remain friends; one person may be happy being friends, but to the other it would be uncomfortable knowing that they truly desire something more - such that they would probably just end contact in order to avoid feeling that way. Of course if you both truly agree that your relationship is best enjoyed at a friend level, then that's great .

Many persons say that I am mean because I always maintain that when I break up with someone I dont think that I should contact them after.The uneasy tension is on eof the reasons that I try to avoid ex's and the other is that I dont want to fall for the other person a second time because sometime "absencu knew all along makes the heart grow fonder" and "old firestick catches easily"I have personally only call one of my ex's and it was only after her friend called me and the minute I did I knew it was a mistake

After I broken up with my ex-girlfriend 2 years ago, I had no any touch with her.

It is really difficult going from the boyfriend zone to the friends zone. It is really difficult and takes a lot of strenght and will power to do. Anyway, I prefare keeping a distance until after a while so that I can sort out my feelings and when that is over, we can become friends though not close. I would advice you to take time off and sort out your feelings before you can see each other regularly as friends

Your decision to remain friends will depend on weather the break up was mutual and how mature you both can act. If you both agreed that you are better off just being friends then there is no problem with that. I will tell you from exprience that conversations will be harder and the first one that mentions a new boy/girlfriend will make the other one feel very uncomfortable. Your relationship will never be the same as if you had never dated. But if you truely care for this person then this may also be an opportunity to see if there was truely a chance for it to be. The old saying "if you love something set it free, if it returns to you then it is yours to keep" would be the best bit of advice I could share. If you sever all relationships the chance of love returning drops drastically. Don't un-friend him but give him some space to see where this goes. Best of luck to you.

being in that situation.... Sometimes, there is still that feeling of hoping to regain the trust and affection we had. In Meeting your ex again, don't forget to never let your guard down... Always be reminded of your limitations and rememeber that he was once a friend and treat him that way... stop hoping that he'll be there as a lover but a friend... You'll see someday you're strong enough to face him everyday cos you are used to it.. I also had that feeling before but i embraced the heartache and that made me stronger... I hope you'll do the same...

Lovers dont need to be perfect strangers after their break up. They just need to have time and space from each other. Having a grudge between each other does not help both lovers to mature and move on. They are like cowards to accept the reality of their relationship to end. It is like hell trying to forgot each other after all the memories, moments they had together.. Ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriends can be your best friend in time when both had accepted their situation...Keeping in touch with them is very okay, as long as it does not bother your current relationship.

Its not imposible to keep going as just friends but not easy
