Have you ever let an ex come back or stayed friends?

[Anonymous]

So would you allow them back into your life and if so was it just friends or even after they blocked u for some time? What was the outcome for you allowing them back or not?

When i really loved them, yes i did such dumbshit. My first boyfriend had way too many chances. Then two in 2017 and two in 2019 had more chances then they shouldve. Thankfully 2020 gave me more time to self reflect and stop allowing second chances. If we end the first time around, its likely for a good reason. I want to move on to new and better

I dont do the friends thing tho

I've experienced both. I'm still friends with my ex from high school, but not super close or in my life anymore, we just have mutual friends and can still hang out and have a good time without it being awkward. My most recent ex I have not seen or heard from since I broke up with him. My friend on the other hand got broken up with but her ex still hangs out with her and just kind of uses her for a friends with benefits type of situation, it's really tough to watch. So I would say break up amicably if possible and then try to cut them out of your life as much as you can.

Noooo and my reason is it's not right to play games. If I'm out I'm out. If they decide they're out and don't think it through... I'll help you keep your commitment lol. That said I haven't found a personal reason to make an exception. I'm sure there could be a reason I can't think of currently to do so, but I haven't found one yet.

Actually my favorite example was when a girl broke up with me and was super mad I took it well and moved on right away. I was also 17 so we were kids. But looking back now it is funny to me.

I'm still friends with an ex and it's purely platonic now. Although I think it's more apt to say she's an acquaintance now since we basically only catch up over text once every couple months and it's basically Hi, what have you been upto? Cool, bye.

[Guy13]

I never have. Done is done.

[TrueConfection]

Nope. I makes things awkward if you have a new partner. My husband has never met my ex, he might as well not exist. I have met my husband's ex a few times and I wasn't crazy about it.

I've stayed friends with many exs. Much of it depends on how it ended. If they block me, then probably not -- that's immature.

[sheenagwapa]

me and my ex are just civil. we are not entouched with each other. it's like when you meet an acquaintance.

[TheVigilantFox]

No, I’d never let her come back she’s dead to me now.

I've had on again off again relationships usually if we still want to have sex sometimes without all the pressures of the relationship we had

[Ms_Facesitter]

No they always make it awkward trying to get back together.

[LiamJHayden]

I have a few where we enjoyed hanging out, but also agreed that the romance part was just not there. With them I stayed friends.

[AimeeKyle]

I have become friends with a couple after some time has passed. Only hooked up with one after….

[Nikki1989]

I stay friends with people that were friends. Simple.

[DiegoO]

I wouldn't call her friends. More like aquantaince.

[PatriceONeal]

If someone doesn't want to be in your life. Let them leave.

[LemiaOfThunder]
