i get looks when ever i tell people i'm i good terms with my ex's and have close friendships with them, even after the break up. i don't have a perfect record, but majority of the women i have had a relationship with are still friends with me, despite the lack of ties that bounded us before.
is it really that difficult to shift from being lovers to friends? is it impossible to continue the relationship to a certain level of that would still allow you and your ex to live in a world where you can still say hi and hello and not go at each others throat?
the floor is yours...

I think it is very healthy to have a good relationship with an ex. I believe having bad feelings towards an ex is a result of something not being resolved. You must work past that in order move on to other relationships. I am friends with any of my exs that I am still in contact with, as is my husband. I think it's great!

i agree. i think that another thing that keeps people from having good relationships with their ex's is the fact that they still have feelings for the person and is still hoping that they would get back together, while the other has moved on, regardless of whether that person is in a new relationship or not.
people do need to accept things in life happen for a reason and learning to move on and accept the realities of love and life help us become better persons. and eventually lead good relationships with others.
