    generally not a good idea, also who broke-up with who.

    If your ex broke-up with you...u really need to move on.

    When you pick up your phone or whatever it is you use to dial his number, if you feel something that could remind you of a pit in your chest, think carefully about what you may feel if your ex says something hurtful; or some jazz like that.

    Its a bad idea. Please don't do it. You will most likely regret it. He's an Ex for a reason.

    Sure, if you want to rekindle the relationship, go for it. But remember, there's a reason you broke up.

    Look I was in the same situation not too long ago, do yourself a favor and leave your phone behind and go out and have yourself a night on the town -1* u kick ass 2* he's a dumbass 4 not realizing it

    If you can't close the gap WIDEN it.
    That man is WAY too comfortable with the way things are now, you need to shake him up and let em' know that you have your own life to lead and he better shape up if he wants to be apart of it

    Don't call him
    don't text him
    in fact close down all lines of communications you have with him and watch

    let HIM call you back
    it works every time

    It is possible to break up with someone and remain friends.

    Don't hate them because it's the 'done thing'.

    Think of his likely reaction. If you can handle that, then go for it. If not, then don't.

    I would say depends on how you ended it. Think about it the last words that were said were "goodbye"

    well if you guys are cool with eachother talkin without getting lovey feelings for eachother then sure go for it. unless you want to get back together or something and your trying to spark it up again, then still yes call them. but if your just calling to be friends again i think you need to make sure that they're the type to get over things and be friends, because if they're not then it could be really awkward.

    good luck

    Well, how would YOU feel if your ex called you just to say "hi"? It's a fair indicator of the way your ex will feel if you do the same.

    Bad idea. Let past people stay in the past. Don't bring up good or bad feelings, just let them stay behind you and move on.

    If you are very sensitive and think you might be hurt by it then NO. If you don't care and you just want to chat and won't feel hurt when you hang up then ok.

    If you two are on friendly terms, why not? You should always try to maintain an amicable, mature relationship with your ex, not only for your sake and his, but for the sake of your children (if there are children involved).

    kittygoesmoo- engaged...finally

    I've done it, I also made sure he knew he wasnt the most important person in my life anymore. Whenever we spoke I would always answer the other line, if it was someone I felt like talking to I changed back to his line and told him we'd talk another time. He always ended up calling me after a few hours.
