I don't think it is wise to stay friends with your ex.
These are the reasons why:
1. Your boyfriend will feel jelous knowing you still keep in touch with your ex.
2. After jealousy, trouble arises.
3. If its your turn to feel jealous he'll bring that subject again to you as if you were cheating.
4. What's the point?
5. We are not supposed to be friends with our ex.
6. Past feelings of hurt may be reconceived.
Well that's me... :) I don't know your views about it..
Have a nice day...

I feel the same way as you, and i especially agree with you in your sixth point. If we break up with some person, there must be some reasons. And there are some hurts. To see his or her name or words will remind us the past. Why we should be suffer such kind of pain?

your points are correct. I do not intend to add my ex at my facebook account. I do not want to be updated with his life because I dont also want him to know about my life. We are out of each other's businesses and I only want to learn from the past not come back to it.

I don't have facebook but if i do i would still add my ex as a friend... maybe because i'm asian and in asian culture many people are still friends after they broke up... maybe it's different culture in the west where when a couple break up they cannot be friends forever..

Hi. chiyosan. I am friends with one of my ex boyfriends now. We used to go together when we was in the sixth grade. And, I had another ex as my friend too. I don't see him as my friend on my new account. I had an account once that he used to be on. The other two ex's I dropped them because I feel odd talking to them being that they have wives. I deleted them as my friend and I did not want to add them again. I got both of them blocked on my Facebook account. I try not to be friends with my ex boyfriends, especially if we have been intimate together before.

it depends whether we broke up peacefully or not
if it was draining disappointing relationship,
I wouldn't want to keep the memories alive by having them as friends
otherwise, yes I would and I would explain to my current

We have mutual friends but I didn't care requesting for friendship with my ex. We have both a family of our own and I don't think it is proper to get in touch with him again even through the social networks, and besides, we did not part ways peacefully, that's why.

Personally, I have my first Ex Fiance as a friend in Facebook. He is also one of my referrals here in myLot as well. We have not dated since the 80's and have not seen each other in like 15 yrs. and he knows I am married. My husband knows all about him and knows I do not consider him a threat. But I cannot imagine just adding some of the others I dated just prior to meeting my husband as that would not be right for sure.

I have facebook accounts for friends and surely my ex's are not my friends. All my ex's we dont end well so I could not say we are really friends. Since we are not friends why I should consider of adding them. And never thought of having them as one my friends. I am bitter I know I am, that's just me.

well my ex bf did add me on facebook and its funny i accepted it. i dont have a boyfriend now so it wouldnt bother anyone. but that guy has a gf now and her pictures are in his fb. sometimes i wished i had rejected the friend request but the damage is done.
