In Certain Cases, Is it Possible to Be Friends with Your EX?
- 938 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic.
I've had no problem with it, most of the time. It's them that have had the trouble staying friends with me. Sally broke my heart but, I stayed friends with her afterwards. Last time I saw her 20 years after we fucked, we practically fucked again on the street a we were saying goodbye to each other.
Even though Carol went back to her ex-hubby who refused to let her have any contact with me, we stayed in touch for most the next 4 decades and, after he died abut 8 years ago, she decided she wanted to be my girlfriend again! A few months later, she got pissed at me over money (about 58 cents she wanted to cat food to feed a stray cat and all the money I had in the world was the loose change in my pocket that I found at the drive through windows at the mall the night before!! No way in HELL am I giving up MY last dime to feed a fucking stray cat! Other than to say nasty shit to me, she hasn't spoken to me in 3 years! I even sent her b-day card last year and never got ANY response from it!!
Not only did Anu lie to me, steal from me and cheat on me but, a few years after I broke up with her, she accused me of trying to fuck her niece just because I told her she was really pretty!! I've always considered her to be MY niece, too! Then there's the fact that she was at least 30 years younger than me!! So, that one, I DON'T want back and WON'T TAKE back!! It's bad enough I can't even trust her!!

Yes if you get a devorce you have to learn to get along if you have kids that is what a friend of mine did
It can and sometimes it can be hard but it's doable. I've stayed friends with most of my exes. Some of them are in my close friends group. I don't talk to them on a daily basis or anything. But a few times a year we all come together to catch up and everyone moved on with their lives. My ex husband I do speak on a regular basis but that's because of our son. On the other hand, I wouldn't call my ex husband my friend though lol.

I am still friends with my ex, a year after we split.
Iām also on good terms with my ex husband, 7 years after we split.

It may be possible, in some limited cases, and it's a great idea if you have children together. Otherwise, you need to ask yourself why you REALLY want to stay in contact with this ex, and what impact will this have on future potential partners.

I was friends with an ex for years. We had a dog together and it was fun taking care of the dog even though we were not dating any longer. And to be honest, I really didn't like dating her when I was dating her. If it was a situation where I was really in love it would have been difficult remaining friends.
-
I used to think though but there's no point unless you have kids together better to part ways and heal and move on separately otherwise if they're kids involved then keep everything to the kids, maybe eventually as time goes on and you get over them you can become friends. I would always always be civil infront of my children
-
Its definitely possible. I am still extremely close friends with my ex, and she already has a new boyfriend.
We still value each other as trustworthy friends and can rely on each other when needed.
Of course, we broke it off amicably, thanks to my parents objecting to us having a relationship at 16/17, and we also saw that we needed time to grow and mature.
I still do check in on her from time to time to make sure she's doing good. -
No, don't try it! You both will get feelings, or 1 of you and then you'll want to hangout again. Then the ruminating about "are they with someone right now", "am I texting her while she's fucking some dude" kind of thoughts begin to creep in.
Then you both likely want to hangout again, and it seems great. The most likely scenario is you hangout again and it's the same old thing after the 1st few times back together is great but leads to the same issues that were not resolved. 2nd scenario is only 1 person wants to hangout and the other is moving on... if that's the case it is super hurtful.. again! 3rd scenario is you try to be platonic friends with them but it is subconciously just leaving open a little window of hope you two can work things out.
The only way it can work is if you have found a new significant other; that will work! -
I'm friends with 2 of my exes. 1 of which we just stayed friends when we realized we really had no romantic feelings for each other. And the other we started as friends, tried dating, wasn't working, stayed friends

There are some situations where one can still maintain a friendship with their ex-spouse. But if they don't see eye to eye then it's probably best to end things amicably rather than try to keep a relationship going when you know that it won't work out.

My sister is friend with her ex who is either bisexual or was in the closet homosexual when they were dating. My sister was his first relationship, so it's possible. She's friendly with him and cordial with his husband despite the fact she hasn't met the latter. She also thinks his husband is hotter than him. She dated him all throughout his college years (she spent 8 years due to health reasons).
-
Sometimes things just don't work out and 2 people have rational thinking it's very possible but if a relationship ends due to constant cheating then those are the ones where you would cut all contact because if and when your ex gets kicked to the curb they will try contacting you saying "I made a mistake"
-
I think it depends on how the breakup happened if it was out of control things that were said but yes you can become friends with anybody so your choice but those people have to be a part of that choice and want it to work

After an amicable divorce, it's possible to be friends. After our divorce after 20-years of marriage, my ex invited me to a picnic, and we've had a few family outings since then. It does help that we have children.
-
Maybe, I've never tried. It's better to keep distance, there are plenty of other people who deserve a chance and didn't disappoint me like my exes.

Some can end up an ex as of a miss fit of both sides, it can end without garm or real pain and sure then it can happen, as you got togeder you got something even if in the end its not that close

yes Paris... I have been very good friends with two of my ex-girlfriends, and for at least 16 and 12 years... zero drama and no problems at all

Yes, I think it is. I would say it depends on people's personalities and how/why the relationship ended.

Sure. I'm good friends with one of mine (granted we parted amicably and she is a really nice person with a great heart).
-
Yes for myself it is possible as long as she's willing to I don't know of any of my ex's that I still wouldn't want to FUCK or have sex with in some kind of way so most of them we still do.
God. Bless -
From my opinion yes Miss Paris, only in the condition where break up was due to simple reason like loosing feelings, long distance, etc. But I don't think it's possible in cases of cheating or any such serious issues.

It absolutely is Par! But only if you're banging a much hotter chick! (For a guy anyway.) I'm sure something similar applies for girls.
-
Logically you'd think yeah. I mean you were drawn to each other.
Hate some of my exes with a passion though. Women can be vindictive.
Of course I retaliate and they don't expect that but that's another story.
