Is it possible to be friends with your ex? (Page 3)

[deanlarouche]

I personally find it difficult to remain friends especially when there is sex involved because it really messes with your psychological mind. And I'm not sure being friends after will work unless you love each other enough to want the other person to be happy. But there will always be feelings which makes it hard to remain friends

[Ming_Ling]

Exactly but how if the boy gets mad when I say we shouldn’t have no contact mind you he has another girl.. he gets mad when I leave him

[deanlarouche]

Then you guys need to decide if it's going to work or go your separate ways. And by him threatening not to be your friend if you break up is not right. If you can Handel seeing him with another girl then ok. If not then you can never be friends after

[Caaarl]

It's generally not realistic. But I suppose it depends on the people and their feelings. If they're good at accepting that it's over and that they're okay with never getting back together it might work if they're amicable.

I don't know it's generally best to not try to be friends.

[Anonymous]

It depends entirely on the two people involved. Normally in my experience though, one person tends to have feelings lingering in hope that the friendship can become more. You have to give it time before deciding if you can become friends, ideally when both of you have moved on from each other and can see each other only platonically.

[GayHowellMeme]

Totally possible? Like why should exes hate each other and avoid each other because things aren’t working out? Should you avoid a person who can’t figure out a thing? I mean there’s abusive and cheating relationships and couples in that situation should break up and forget each other.

[Panda_B]

I'm friends with some ex's and some not. It depends on the maturity of the relationship. If he said it in a fight it probably means he is too attached to you at this point to continue afterwards and would need to cut everything off so as to avoid more pain

[Alefsousa017]

Based on my previous relationships, i don't believe it's possible to maintain a friendship with your ex. I mean, you can keep a respectful relationship with him and even talk from time to time but, a REAL friendship, I don't believe it can happen.

[BitterSweetApplePie]

It's totally possible to be friends with your ex, assuming neither of you still have romantic feelings for one another. If the relationship was abusive/toxic then that would be another reason to avoid a friendship with that person.

[PassengerOfTheYear]

Absolutely

Truth is the relationship should have been built in the mutual trust of wanting the best for each other. If that is true then breaking up wouldn't have any effect on still wanting the best for the other.

pretty complicated, firstly your "ex" which is supposed to be your past, secondly, still getting attracted to your "ex" friends ,,, in as much as this is very possible I wouldn't advice one bringing the past into the present again,,, moreover show your ex no hatred and at the same time don't get too intimate most especially when you're already in another "relationship",,, all things being equal you guys are done and dusted and it's better you get rid of any illusionary thought whatsoever

[bubble_tea]

It is possible, but only by being friends in the shallow end. Like superficially catching up once in a while or contacting you for a specific reason. You won't talk about feelings or sad stuff with the ex.

[ernest1]

you're good, same thought here damsel ,,,

[BR8KAR]

Firstly, there is a reason person becomes your ex. Saying that, it is possible to be civilised towards an ex. However do keep in mind, if you look to start a new relationship, your potential partner may not agree with this. For that reason. An ex is just that.

[PrinceNeo]

It's always possible to be friends with your ex's but you both need to realize that you guys are friends and nothing more at that point if one still has feelings for the other it's going to make for an unhealthy friendship wish we'll end up in them either trying to sabotage your other relationships or other problems

[ch1pmunk143]

Depends how it ends I think. My exs were Cheaters so no I never have but I've had friends break up on an agreement to and stayed friends but she said there was always the past there and lingering feelings

[D1991F]

Well after my ex had a pregnancy scare she flipped out so much she discarded me and wouldn't update me or let me help be there for her and she ignored me for 2 weeks so I was scared shitless... So no fuck her

[HOAAH]

I would never ever be friends with an ex, because when I am in a relationship there's a promise to stay together forever. when the relationship is broken then the promise is broken and that means one person lied

[HateYourCellphone]

Yes and no. Depends on the relationship and the breakup and if kids are involved and if you are trying to establish this before a new relationship or after and how the new partner feels about it all themself.

There is no one answer to this question.

[fpmsn]

It is possible! But why would you want to? You are attracted to him? You love him? You want to be with him? No.. You break up because the answers were no soo... Why would you want to? What goods brings to you?

[mooky06]

There's nothing wrong with being friends with an ex. For me i just feel like it's too messy. I would feel awkward to have known I had an intimate and sexual/romantic relationship with an ex who is now my friend. Best to close the door and move on.

[jogabonito]

Being friends after a breakup is certainty possible but it is usually way harder to do it if you guys end on a bad note, if you guys decided to end it and it’s a mutual decision without anyone feeling hurt or f*kd over Then it is definitely possible

[Tiffany9393]

You have to make sure your over them first because I’ll always feel lead on or upset if they hook up or date someone new. And friendship will suffer if he dates another girl bec she’ll not be fond of the idea.
