  • I'm fine with it. I'm still friends with my ex and there are no problems.
  • I think it is the best policy. If you are not friends, you tend to divide up territory, friend base, etc. and it just isn't healthy. You need to learn to manage the transition back to friends, for best long term results.
  • well I'm friends with most of my ex g/f's ....shit I'm even still friends with my ex wives and have no problems with this and neither do they or their husbands/b/f's ....but then again we are mature adults
  • Define problem? I'm friends with a few of my exes, and I feel it's a good thing. I don't need any more hate in my life. Love is friends with a few of his exes. We're both fine with it. The only potential problem may be jealousy, flirting-- And Love and I did get back together after flirting because we stayed friends when we were broken up. But flirting can happen with anyone, any friend, not just ones that are exes. I've flirted with another ex too, but we both laugh about it because we know it can't work out between us.
  • RULE NO. 1. Only if you have NO more feelings for them. Rule no. 2 Don't use the "let's be friends" as a crutch. Just because you have feelings for them and hope they'll "fall back in love" I say.... Take time apart then go for it
  • i couold care less.
  • It depends upon the nature of the people involved and the nature of the break-up. If they broke up because he cheated and lied, or if she stole from his wallet to pay for her gambling habit, staying friends probably isn't really feasible. However, if it was an amicable break-up where the people mutually decided that they weren't compatible as a couple but still had common interests, then friendship could be workable.
  • It depends on the people. I never talk to one of my ex's anymore, but if he came up to me and said "Hi" to me randomly, I wouldn't hesitate to have a conversation with him. We're not on bad terms. He's pretty cool. My other ex is a casual friend now. We talk once in a while, and get along really well. We're both in relationships now and are happy with who we're with! It's great. :) I don't have any a**hole ex's.... I think it depends on how good/bad your relationship was, and what happened during the breakup and after. The circumstances that I was in lead me to forgive and move on, which makes it easier to be on friendly terms with both my ex's.
  • My ex and I have a child plus my ex works in my family's business. We are very good friends and he even went on vacation with us this year. It was great that our son was able to have the benefit of both of his parents with him. It's a little more difficult now because I'm dating someone sort of seriously and it's a little hard for him. Hopefully, he will come around. I realize that I will have to have to make some concessions as well. But I think we can work it out.
  • It depends on the circumstances of the break up and if either of you still want to get back together. It's really easy to still have feelings for each other or fall for one another again. Another big problem is when either of you start seriously dating someone else. It's bound to cause problems, and at that point if you're really serious about your new bf/gf you should stop seeing your ex.
  • It can be a problem if you still have feelings for the person but then again try taking a look at it like this - Why not be friends with an ex? I mean after all, you had to become friends to get to know one another in the beginning right? I'm friends with most of my ex's - but then again I don't allow our compatibility to interfere with our friendship - if we don't make a good couple no biggie.
  • Your friendships with your X's can become a problem with your new relationships. Depending on whether you wish to be stagnant or wish to advance, will result on the better half's feeling towards your X's and you. Don't create a problem when it's not necessary. Commonly known as women or men with baggage.
  • I believe it will be different for everyone. I am trying it for the first time we will see how it works i have never been remained close to any exes so far.
  • Friendship requires mutual respect and trust. If you didn't have it in the marriage you won't have it after. He cheated and cheated and cheated. Friendship is out of the question.
  • I refrain from the friend thing after a breakup. Since I have been the dumper more than the dumpee, most of my exes haven't bothered to ask me to be friends anyway. It's funny at how women want to be friends when they dump a guy, but would rather not if they are the ones BEING dumped. Unless you have kids together, I have never seen the point in keeping in touch with an ex. The few times I have spoken to an ex, it was because they called me, not because I called them.
  • Well, I would cut off the ex's from my relationship status. I will still talk to her. If I was to hold on to the one who I used to be involved in, I would know beyond the shadow of the doubt that it will damaged the new relationship. Its a choice with bad consquences. I would refrain from calling it frends with ex's. I would go on with life.
