Is it really necessary for a partner in a relationship to be friends with an ex..? Its like a dog that throws up and eats it's the waste again..your partner might damp you and go back to their ex...

It is a curious thing - some people can be better friends than partners

My exs were people that I was friends with from the start. But, their true colors came out after they began to date me. Why would I want to continue a friendship with someone that can't be real with me from the very start? Better to just let them on their own

@kaphokz You are right. It depends on the people involved and how much they cherish their children's happiness.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Sometimes when one gets over the anger of an ex, the friendship between them is better than when they were together. Some people are just better friends than partners.

There is no need to give the ex so much of importance as it's these exs' who spoil relationships.

I don't agree with that. It was very good for our families to be sociable all these years for the children's sake and grandchildren's sake.

@ramapo17 Well! if you were comfortable with the relationship for the children and grandchildren's sake, I think it should go on.

If they need our presence or they know us very well they never become ex. And why again they are into our life? He or she doesn't want us and they leave us and go then what for again coming to our life and disturb whole things. I don't think this will be a healthy. One or the other day gets problems again and become more worst.

I do not think you should be friends with an X when you marry again. But you should take care of kids if you had any together,

It depends on the meaning of "friends". My ex and I would never want to see "our" children being depressed or hear any arguments, etc. Kids that are well adjusted do better in school and their lives.

I am friends with one ex. We just knew it was not working as a relationship and parted ways. But his sons still spent the night with mine while growing up. And we have been out dancing together a few times too. There is just no romance involved in any way anymore between us.

Not everyone can remain "friends". I think a lot comes down with how much we value our childrens future.

If you love her, just let her go and move on. If you are moved on you can be friends
