I've only really had one girlfriend. We broke up because she finally admitted she liked her best friend of several years and just wanted to be friends. (perhaps ironically my first emotion was excitement, because I know he's a nice guy and I was super happy for her).
I purely hate him for reasons, I'd never want a friend like him. I tried to be civil with him for a while but I couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable around him, and I certainly couldn't get over the resentment for what he'd done. So no, I am most certainly not friends with that pig.
I am with my first boyfriend now so I haven't had a break up. I have been heart broken by guys though and out of like 4 guys who did that to me, I am only friends with 1 of them. I am still friends with him because after he broke my heart, I met my boyfriend so I got over that heart break and I am now able to talk to my friend as a friend.
I guess we could say I'm friends with one of my exes. She helped me through a VERY rough spot a few years ago. She was already married at that point, but she was a good ear to me. We haven't talked much lately. She's now busy with her husband and three kids.
For me its a no, I have tried in the past to stay friends but it just never worked, they either wanted to still act like we were together, or when I started seeing someone knew I was called names. Thankfully I no longer have to worry about all of that.
I'm friend-ly with all my exes. We don't talk regularly or hang out but are on good enough terms that if one of us needed something, I'm sure I could call on them or vice versa. I don't think being friends with exes is healthy for future growth. But I dont think being enemies with an ex is good either.
We met once a year for a coffee and talk about our lives and what changed. He was my first boyfriend and cheated on me, I refused to have any contact for two years, then my new boyfriend encouraged me to talk with him and I was surprised how much he learned and changed from our relationship. We had a lot of common interests so he keeps me updated on this. If i would need anything I know he'd help me out. Still he's not a friend I see or contact regularly
Nope, they both long long.. I tried to be friends with no but she broke all contact with me.. LOL.. Her number got turned off, and I never heard from her after that.. The other one was back in fifth grade, and I didn't take that one seriously and we never official broke up... But she was coo.. She transferred schools though.. Never saw her again.. LOL..
I have given no answer in the poll because no answer match my situation. If I had considered my exgirlfriend to be a friend during the relationship, I would have tried to keep the friendship, but she has never been my friend, why would she be my friend nowdays?
I'm friends again with my previous ex. We didn't break up because we were fighting but rather because we drifted apart. Then we had a huge fight a month after we broke up, didn't have any contact for a year & now we're friends again since last month. xD Which is amazing, you really don't have to be ashamed for anything- We've seen each other naked, can't get any worse than that. xD
I wouldn't be friends with my first ex girlfriend cause are relationship ended poorly and I'd rather leave things the way they are and my second ex girlfriend things didn't end good cause she lost my class-ring. So see I'd rather leave things where they're at and not be friends with my ex girlfriends i think a ex is ex for one reason or another.
No in my case and many other people in this world it doesn't work. I'm a jealous guy and it's just pointless move forward. The last person your new boyfriend wants to do is meet the Eskimo bro that was making sweet love to you before him. Every guy wants to be the first, not in today's world but at least not the 16th 😂
Might I add my partner and I have a current arrangement no exs in our lives they all get blocked and long forgotten. I know of a few couples that do this too it's not weird.
Because I really don't wanna shake hands with a the guy who put his dick in my partner before me, if anything he will be getting a punch in the face. It's just a big no it will set you up in the future for all kinds of awkward b. s
I am not , kinda. I will talk to them if I run into them, I also have no problem having a conversation with them or being in a social event too. However I have no interest in getting involved with them, nah. I had to cut my last ex from life completely because it wasn't gonna work out. It was too hard with her.

I have not seen my one ex since we split. I am sure that in a small town, where he works in the centre, I will bump into him, especially now that I am home from uni for the summer. It will be awkward, I am sure, as I will most likely have my boyfriend in tow.

I've only been friends with one ex as we broke up for reasons outside of our control. We didn't long, and the more time I spend with him as friends I realized how incompatible we would have been as boyfriend and girlfriend lol. The last guy who dumped though was seemingly perfect. I did catch feelings for him and I tried to be his friend but couldn't as he turned out to be liar.
I would rather fade into a distant memory. Though i did make the mistake of seeing her with another guy. As long as she's happy that's good. But i dropped all contact with my ex's the moment they chose to do something bad for the relationship or we didn't work out. Believe me, it's so much easier this way.
I'm usually capable if it's a mutual breakup, but she most often can't without stirring up her feelings and trying to get back together. Once she got another boyfriend, she's never to be heard from again other than a casual hi when we bump into one another.
she broke it off and then refused to talk to me for a couple weeks. it wasn't until after i found out she cheated on me and tried to hook up with my friend that she tried to communicate. by then i wasn't having it.
@IARedThunder why did it go up in flames for you? jealousy or just couldn't stand to look at each other?
I'm friends with one of my ex's, mainly because she was able to take the breakup maturely. It was hard on her, and she was pretty sad, but she was mature, and we still cared about each other's well being.
Not close friends, but I was friends with dudes I dated and I have one ex where if we ran into each other it'd never be awkward. Because even though we were once lovers we were still friends. I think it's possible sometimes but it depends.
