Why do men want to stay friends with their ex girlfriend/s?

Some for possibly of backup sex, others because they love them still.

What if they ended the relationship…

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Maybe they weren't in a good place at the time and want to leave the possibility of being together again later on?

[Asker]

That’s interesting

[DJistired]

Sometimes it's so they can rebound with said ex, or they were friends before the relationship and they still want to just be friends after the breakup.

Never! Staying friends with an ex will cause issues when they get into. a new relationship.

[Asker]

Why? Because they’ll always have feelings?

[dudeinohio]

Feelings fade. A new relationship makes them go away.

[Asker]

So then why would it cause issues?

[dudeinohio]

If you are a friend with an ex means you communicate with them. You get into a new relationship and the new person will get jealous or suspicious. I don't dare anyone who's friends with an ex.

For me personally is to mark my territory..

Because an open line of communication is the opportunity for future sex

[Pterodon]

So he can use her as a backup plan

[Asker]

Until he finds someone else again you mean?

[Pterodon]

Exactly
