Can you truly be friends with an ex?

[Justneedtokno]

Now listen, we never officially dated. In the end I didn’t realize they had feelings for me but I needed a lot of work (therapy).

Now they are gone and I consider myself friends with the new person they are with and him.
Is it weird?

Thank you for your input because sometimes we can be in our heads about a lot of things. I understand is best to have boundaries and certain things are not acceptable, but genuinely walking away from someone and also be on the same page with them. No animosity I can be cordial in a situation and that’s how it should be. I don’t wish no ill willand I’m going to be a friend I whatever I’m not trying to be in the way. I’m at peace with the situation.

It only worked out for me once, but yes we were good friends for years. We dated for 3 years but I truly did NOT like dating her. There was a certain dynamic that kept us together during that time but I was very happy when it ended. We went on to be friends for a long time. Maybe because we had the potential to be friends, the dating relationship lasted as long as it did. But seriously I was very happy when the dating part ended.

But most of the time, ex's are ex's and it is time to move on. If you were really in love with the person it would be real difficult to "just stay friends".

[ArrowheadSW]

There was a lady who I dated shy of a year who I really liked. We were compatible in a lot of ways and there was tremendous chemistry there, but it ended due to being long distance and she wanted kids and I did not. In that case we couldn't really go on to be friends because it would just make me miss being intimate with her, etc.

Depends on how bad the break up was

[Justneedtokno]

Amicable

[legalboxers]

I wouldn't see an issue

[MK1997]

No it's innapropriate

[Justneedtokno]

What is the inappropriateness because we never did anything and we only just mainly dated if I had the summit up?

[MK1997]

I wouldn't want my boyfriend to be friends with ex. Anything could happen

[Justneedtokno]

I understand I am totally respectful of their relationship. It’s not like we’re the same space

[AI Opinion]

As a resident flirt and heart whisperer here, I'm all about love harmony! Friends with an ex you never dated? Totally possible and not weird at all. You never officially dated, so your dynamics can stay friendly, especially if everyone involved is cool with it. Just keep an eye out for any lovebombing or awkward vibes, and you'll be golden! Staying friends can be a great way to learn and grow from the past. Keep it light, keep it fun, and remember, you're fabulous! 😊

It's possible to be friends with an ex, but it's rare. My ex-wife and I still get along, in a way we are still friends. Typically, though, an ex is put in the past, not the present.

[NathanDavis]

I am really good friends with two of them, yes

but we were already good friends before we went into a relationship, and also... our romance stage was forever ago during school days, lol...

and also... we are part of a small circle of friends, from the same school, and for those few reasons, and few other more we've remained great friends till these days, yep

[Billlewis]

Yes, I've done it, although it was vastly different from our original relationship.

[RageBabe]

Did she boss you around?

[Billlewis]

@RageBabe Jackie, whom, like every other woman I've dated/served, was Black, full figured and decidedly promiscuous. From the beginning, it was quite clear that not only did she have no respect for me whatsoever, she also went out of her way to expose my shameful existence to everyone she knew. The worst kept secret in town was that I was never allowed to fuck her, she enjoyed unlimited freedom of date, bed and fuck other men openly, literally right in front of me, which, as can be expected, resulted in her boyfriends making no effort to hide their contempt for me, either...

[Billlewis]

Now, you might think this was an unfavorable scenario for me, but I relied on my astonishing skill to ' coexist' with my former girlfriend and the muscled thugs who rubbed my face in the rug... fittingly, all of her boyfriends were Black, as well, and considerably younger than me -- and everyone knows what that means, don't you? It means that these young, felonious and disenfranchised men had been blessed with arguably the greatest windfall imaginable -- a golden opportunity not just to beat that white ass on the regular, but to actually be requested, and often even *paid* to lay the cane, belt, strap, and occasionally, that infernal fiberglass switch, that Jackie had ordered me to rebuild from a long junked fishing rod... that tapered seven foot weapon of ass destruction proved its value over and over again, in a testament to the cruelty she and not one, but two of the guys who were fucking her deigned to inflict on that ass...

[Billlewis]

But despite the frightening brutality with which they savaged my bruised, battered and bullied hindquarters, every excruciatingly painful stroke was well worth the agony it delivered, because I was permitted to sit quietly in the next room, listening to whichever guy was hittin' it that night pounding her from behind, the sounds of his hips slapping against her plump, creamy (cafe au lait) sexy fat butt, and my focus and concentration never strayed, never wavered from the impending moment id been so anxiously awaiting since the last time one of the world's most generously fortunate men had emptied his huge, Black balls inside the best place in the entire universe to empty them in -- Jackie's hot, wet elastic pussy! The point I want to make here is that my ultimate fulfillment is derived from that magical moment when... when... he shudders in ecstasy and begins to climax inside her!

[ProbablyClueless]

Ffffffuck no.

It's not even worth the try. Anyone who thinks it is is kidding themselves.

[Grond21]

I don't see anything wrong with this

[Justneedtokno]

Amicable

[Grond21]

I don't know why my recent messages have been getting this code stuck on the end.

Regardless, I am glad to hear that it is amicable. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with your relationship

[Anonymous]

Of course you can. Well, i'm not sure because I don't have an ex, but still, you can be friends with anyone if you try.

[bowenw]

I am still friends with a few exes.

[Sonora]

I am friends with my exes.

[midnightmoon05]

No they can’t and should not.

[Dongie]

Nah.

[eagle1951]

no way

[jahaims]

Shouldn't even try
