Absolutely not, I can never be friends with them cause my feelings are still there for them, so I just block them out.
As for hooking up I haven't hooked up with someone who is not my as ex (before they were my ex to be clear😅😅) so the above answer applies.
And friends? I don't have many and I just don't get that feeling of making there knees weak so I don't go for them.
My feelings aren't still there but that doesn't mean people can't rekindle. So yea i def rather separate
I agree one hundred percent.
I mean we talk if we meet or cross paths but definitely not friends with any of them.
This past weekend I spent it with my ex-wife and her husband along with my step daughter and step grandson. My son who lives with me was also there. It was spent fishing on a lake in Arkansas. We all had a good time. we chose to stay friends after the divorce.
I guess its a bit different when kids are involved I don't know
You may have a point there. I can not say for sure we would have gotten together if it were just us two or her and her husband. We would still be friends but probably not getting together...
Yes I am! The very first guy I ever had any sexual relations with has been a friend all these years, although he now lives quite a distance away I only see him once or twice a year as he visits his family.
I guess thats not the worst
Yes. I am still in touch with my first boyfriend on and off. I met him when I was 15 so it is hard to get unattached. I don’t want to get back with him but I also don’t want to lose contact with him forever. 😩
Yeaaa i couldnt do it lmao
I hooked up with someone. And after a brief pause after the encounter we became friends.
I think our friendship will slow down now he and his partner have had a baby which for me is a shame but that's life
Ashame why? Because you want more of the D? Or because he’ll be around less?
Because after we resolved things and decided to just be friends we actually get on really well
So I'll miss him
No. Do I have some in my phone in case I want a bootie call sure but friends... NO lol
At least its not friends 🤣
I only have online exes (I've never dated in real life) and never had sex. And no, I'm not friends with my online ex because I still have feelings for him. Can't be friends with someone I have feelings for.
At least you know
Yeppers
Yes, Friends With My EX, We Have Been Friends Our Whole Lives… She And My Wife Became Friends When We Started Dating, My Ex Goes Out With Us Often, They Have Girls Night Out… My Wife Invited Her To Our Wedding… Both My Wife And EX Strongly Believe That Breakups Should Not Cause Two People To Become Enemies, You Started Off As Friends, Found Love, Decided To Breakup, Both Should Remain Friends…
I dont think breakups should mean you have to be enemies but i sure as heck ain't tryna be friends lmao
Depends On If You Broke Up On Good Terms… My EX And I Had A Great Relationship, We Have So Much In Common, Never Fought, Always Supported Each Other… The Only Reason We Broke Up Was She Was Working Full Time, School Full Time, Working On Her Degree, And Could Not Put Much Time Into Us As A Couple…
Not friends. I'm follow to exes each other on social media. We don't talk to each other but we might occasionally comment on each other's stories but I wouldn't consider it a friendship.
Oh yea thats a bit different. Its not like y'all dm-ing
Not at all I do not entertain any type of conversation with any of my exes. I do not intend to.
Good, its for the best
No. We stayed friends for a while after we split, but I ended all communication with him when I my husband and I were dating.
Thats good
I do with a few but it's not close friendship. We know where to draw the line. Certain exes are linked to you in certain circles for example.
I’d tell the circle ion fck with em and not to invite us at the same time
Hmm not talking about friendship circle.
Ohhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhh 🤣
Yes I am still friends with a few of my ex's. And yes, in the past there have been a friend or two that I wouldn't have minded. Ad yes my wife knows. We don't have secrets like that.
Well at least she knows. Did it take long for her to feel comfortable? Or did she never feel threatened?
I think it's a matter of trust. Back before, I was a big player so it's kind of all in the past. I have this "been there, done that" attitude. I mean I acted in porn, was also a sex worker (pro Dom), have had multiple three ways etc. And now I still make adult videos etc. -Animations- and also have an adult website. I really don't have much left and even if I did. I build sex toys, AI and animations, and we have agreed that toys/machines don't count.
Well damn i knew about the animations
No, I am civil with them, but not their friend. Hard to be a friend when the dynamic centered around intimacy and banging.
So true. The constant reminder of heartbreak would haunt the friendship too
Yes I am and sometimes we have had sex just to blow of steam or relieve some stress. I don't have sex with them right now cause I am in a relationship but I have had a threesome with my girl and one of my ex girlfriends recently.
Good lawd
We don't dislike eachother, but we don't really talk anymore either. Just grown apart.
Yea like i dont hate anyone but i have to tell myself that i do so that i never revert back lol
I have become friends with girls that I used to have a crush on. But generally the attraction ends at that point. I've moved on completely, so I genuinely don't feel that way about them anymore.
Yea i can do the crush thing because its a phase and if it never goes anywhere you sorta just move on... but that doesn't mean I can’t be swayed again... so maybe I can't do it 🤣
@DizzyDesii Oh, I could have potentially fallen for them again. But not after they have kids. That's pretty much the end of any interest right there. That's where the road ends permanently.
Marriage, too. Same rule applies there.
Marriage i understand. A guy having A KID wouldn't keep away the crush if we still have a lot in common... now if it was KIDS plural and he was still into his baby mama, nahh
@DizzyDesii It's a double standard in this case simply due to the fact that mothers are seen as the gender with the primary responsibility for taking care of the children. While fathers are not. A lot of times a guy can be a father and all he has to do is send child support payments and show up occasionally to play with the kid and then leave.
In general, i just feel like one kid is doable but when its multiple kids, men and women are better off finding another parent to date
Yeah, but you see my point, though; right?
Explain the point to me more deeply? Because playing with a kid on occasion is being a babysitter at best, not a parent
That's exactly my point. Men have it easy when it comes to parenting. (Especially if they are not currently living with the mom.)
That means the guy has a lot more free time to spend with his "upgrade."
Not single fathers though. I was speaking as if i dated a single father with one kid vs two
The type who has primary custody
"The type who has primary custody"
Oh, well, you didn't say that.
But the percentage of single fathers who have primary custody is pretty slim.
(Right, @msc545?)
Of course, that's right. It's much better to spend half your income on child support that you give to a woman who will spend it on clothes and jewelry or whatever the hell women buy for themselves with other people's money.
@msc545 Right. I'm not saying I would do that personally if I were in that situation. If it was me, I would want to see my kids as much as possible. Because that's just how I am. I'm a family man. Other guys may not; I don't know.
BUT as we all know, that isn't really the main problem. There are a TON of men who WANT to see their children but aren't allowed to. Because their exes are being petty and trying to hurt them.
Yes, I am one of those guys.
@msc545 ✊. I understand; don't worry. I've got your back.
But my point for @DizzyDesii is just that it's easier for single fathers to actually date and invest time in a new relationship than it is for single mothers.
(I mean, many single mothers TRY to do it. But they neglect their babies while doing so.)
Just one. She was my friend since kindergarten, and we chose to date. It lasted literally 1 month, and we chose to reverse course. Out of the 7 ex's I have, she's the only one I still speak to.
Did you ever do the nasty? If not then that can easily be taken less seriously from a significant others point of view
A few times, it was also 20 years ago.
And I don't really talk to her regularly. More like once or twice a year. Most recent was writing a letter of recommendation for college for her son.
Oh thats not too bad then
I won't date anyone who isn't a friend first. Yet all my friendships didn't come from me being attracted towards them. So most of my friendships are platonic because I don't care how attractive a girl is when I decide to be her friend.
To me thats a bit different. I might try to become friends to get closer to my crush but im still gonna flirt so that he knows im not looking to be friendzoned
The best romantic relationships come friendships.
Not to me. For me, it comes from having a lot in common
That's how I got all my friendships, but I sometimes share a lot in common with people I find attractive
I found my friends attractive but not in a sexual way. Just in a “you’ll find the girl for you someday” type way
Me and my partners have fully admitted we wouldn't hesitate to bang our exes haha but that's also something we're into so... no harm no foul lol
I am friends with a couple of people I've dated or hooked up with in the past.
Do the new people you date seem to be bothered by it
No because normally I go for people who are more open minded and less insecure. I won't even date insecure people at all.
