do you believe that you can be friend with your ex???????

I don't think things can ever be the same after you parted with someone no matter if your break up was a disaster or if you said yourselves "thanks for everything". There will always be certain awkwardness between you two. You said yourself that you don't comment or like his photos on Facebook because of his wife. I don't think his other female friends restrain themself from commenting his photos. So as you can see you can be friendly but not quite close friends.

Ex boy friend should be avoided as far as possible to avoid confusion and suspect between you and your present boy friend. Have a nice day.

I believe 100% because most of my exes were still friends until now. It depends on how you treat your ex before you broke up. I have the one ex who happened a member here. She's my close friend now. Besides of what happened to us before, it's not a hindrance to cut our friendship. We have different life now and no need to treat bad to any of us.

It depends on the term that I broke up with that guy. If it was on good terms it's easy to become good friends with him. However, if I broke with that person based on bad terms, Hell no am not going to become good friends with him. Much more, if you want to move on, you should just keep away from that person.

I don't agree with that statement. I can make a friendship with my ex. My ex is being worked in a company where I am also work. We always meet everyday, and we often have lunch together.

I am friends with my ex only becuse of bills and pets but a move is coming and they wont be here for the pets and the money i can take to the parents home

HI! It will depend upon from person to person. If your ex boy friend (now married) is still on your friend's list and you occasionally interact, it is OK. If you both feel comfortable in this kind of arrangement, I do not think any person should have any problem. It is also true that his wife may not easily your friendship with your ex because she might see it as a threat.

I agree with you MHernandez that you can be friends with an ex. I have 2 ex boyfriends that i'm friends with. One i broke up with because i move out of that state to be with my family when they moved. We are good friends on facebook only and we are both married he with kids. The other one is divorced but has kids and we are just friends on facebook. I think you can be friends with an ex depending on howyou broke up and if the person is willing to be just friends. When when i chatted with one ex on facebook while i was visiting my family when they moved back to where i moved from he wanted to see me but we both decided not to because of what might happen so we are just friends on facebook.

I do agree that you can be frinds with your ex, as i was married 35 years, when my husband at that time asked me for a divorce. i never thought it would happen, and I was completly devastated. the worst thing of all, he asked me for a divorce on Christmas Eve 2005. I wanted to sit down with him to discuss it, and he refused, even when i called pasotr to come and talk to us. to make a long story short, my son came and got me and helped me move in February 2006, and I stayed with them for a short time before i got my own apartment. Well, to make a long story short, our divorce was final in January of 2007, and since then we have been in communication every day, as he calls me every morning. he even comes and does my taxes for me every year. We both decided that it would be best to remain good friends for the kids sake, and to this day or daughter wants nothing to do with him, and for awhile our son didn't either, but he finally came around, and he spends the holidays with our son as well as I do too. I didn't think I could live alone, as i wasn't used to it, but I have been managing, and now that i am divorced, I couldn't see myself married again. i am glad that we are friends, as I still care about him. not sure if I still love him though, but i don't want anything to happen to him. Take care, and have a great day.

It is really depends of the decision of both parties if they want to be friends or not. But in my case if that thing will happen to me then that is really a corny thing because my point of view there is if you are ex then you are just ex that is consider as stranger already which is you are not part of my life already. In my opinion it is part of sense of respect and decency if we don't have communications at all, not invited in any occasions and other things.

I think this would depend on how you two separate. I mean, if you able to talk things through and had closure and stuffs, then I think you can be friends since both of you were able to talk things out. On the other hand, if there's no closure (like my case), I think it would take some time before you can be back on being friends. I still don't have any forms of communication with my ex even if he agreed we're still on friendly terms. Well, in all honesty, I'm happy for him since he's now married and had a child but we still haven't spoken a word to each other via text or phone of FB after he broke up our relationship through a text message.

My ex and I have remained on good terms after we divorced, we don't socialise any longer, but we do have occasional contacts on Facebook and we speak on the telephone sometimes. Our marriage lasted 11 years and he was my first love, although we agreed to go our separate ways we did not harbour any ill feelings. I did not dwell on the things that went wrong and over a period of time I can only remember the nicer moments now. He has not married again, although I have. If he had married again I do not know whether I would want his wife to be my friend, not that I would have anything against her but I would not want to share my memories with her.

As for me, I think ex lovers can be friends but in due time. Everything takes place at the right time and at the right place. Even if it will take years there will come a time that your roads will cross again and maybe that time you'll be able to be friends again.

ex lovers can never be friends..

This would depend, i think i have answered this far too many times in mylot as well.It depend on which ex we are talking about. so here is what I am to say to each one of those: first ex - yeah i can be friends with him because we have not hurt each other when we separated, it was a mutual decision that we can no longer move forward with the relationship, that we are too far from each other, we were close friends then and yes we are still friends now and still chat from time to time. 2nd ex - no way will i want to even see this man. come on! i can be friends with anyone, but not him anymore. I can be civil with him and i know i will not make a scene if i see him (even if seeing him will actually just invite me to want to kick his ** and slap his face.) He cheated on me, made a fool our of me, and connived to make me look and feel stupid - even his whole family knew about his cheating, they are like a family of cheaters, i guess! SO no. i will not be friends with him, and i would rather just be a loner if he is the only person in the world left to be friended. hehehe

A break up can be okay if both people are keen on it. Then hopefully there won't be any love left or hurt feelings. There is a possibility of keeping the friendship and still seeing each other of friends sometimes. One of my friends dated a man when she was 18 to 22 years old. They became friends again after they split up. She is now aged 40 years old and he is now 41 years old. He is married to another lady he met when he was 36 years old. She lives with another man. In some situations there could be mistaken ideas of the friendship with the ex. The person with the relationship should not become jealous.

What you did is really practical. You are very considerate to think for his family. Some of my friend they still maintain their ex as friends but nothing more than that. Some they still contact their ex husband but as cautious friend when need arises like asking for help on emergency matter. If they can maintain at certain level, in harmony I think it is all right.

First I would like to say that bad or good things happened in life we learned from it right? So my answer for that question above is absolutely true you can be friends with your ex if you are not a bitter person regardless of any circumstances as long as you are a matured person you two can be friends and there is no impossible about that if you just do it and give it a try after all you have so many things already shared so whats the matter?

it takes time to be friends with your ex, i mean it cant happen during your break-up the next hour you"ll be friends, duh! things should be accepted, and maybe healed, i believe both should go separate ways to do each other thing and have a life after breaking up and soon when both see each other again and maybe that would be the time to be friends with your ex again.

yeah you were right. it's depends to ourself. if we realized that we and our ex are can't be so what a great deal if we become a friends.
