definitely. it all depends on the both of you. in fact, my ex is now one of my best friends. since she knows me very well, she knows when i need someone to lean on, coz she also knows i don't ask for help (of course i'd appreciate it if someone does, i'm just not used to asking for help). and she also knows my wife. that way, my wife won't think that there's still something intimate between me and my ex. c",)

actually, my wife WAS one of my female bestfriends. then, out of a misinterpretation coming from nowhere, she thought i was courting her, and we became bf/gf. i loved her all the while but i never thought we'd be in a relationship since she was my bestfriend. since she thought that way, i told her she was wrong. but since she brought it up, i asked if it could be a possibility, and she said yes. so thats it. we became partners. c",)
my wife knows me well enough. and she knows i have a lot of female friends. i know how much she trusts me, and i don't intend to break that trust. c',)

i do agree ....but if both sides are very optimistic and clear headed then things are posssible but that too with a risk!!

No I really don't think you can... You can try to act civilized when you are in the same room, but I don't think you can be friends.

yes, i can be on friendly terms with my ex especially if it wasnt miserable dating him & if we parted ways cos we werent compatible as lovers, we could be best of friends, u know. Also, i wldnt allow him being friends with me to disturb my new relationship & i also would not want to be a threat to his new luv.

I'm not sure, but I prefer to stay away from any ex's just because I would feel it could complicate a new relationship and even if it doesn't I wouldnt want my husband hanging out with his ex so I don't hang out with mine either. I would feel pretty upset if my husband was friends with any of his ex's. I mean i'd be afraid they'd fall back in love or something, stupid I know but that's just my way of thinking
