Well ... what do you think? IMO - I use to think it was impossible, as being friends with my ex would only make it hurt a lot more. But that was when I wasn't over her. Now that I'm pretty sure I am ... I WANT to know how she is, how she's getting on with life and I want to be there for her. I'd call that a friendship. Not saying nothing would ever happen again though ... perhaps THAT'S the reason people don't think ex's can be friends.
nope i dont think they can i dont talk to any of my exs now because it can cause problems when you are in another relationship but maybe i'm wrong though
I think that aslong as you're both over each other then you can be friends because at some point they knew everything about you and that can be a good basis for friendship because they know you so well
Depends how close you were I suppose but if it was a real deep relationship I think it just causes complications being friends. In the long run anyway
you could be right mate although me being friends with my exs has cause problems in some of my relationships
I'm friends with nearly all of my ex's and I have no issues with that. I meet up with most of them weekly and go out drinking and stuff, some people may find that weird, but to me they're more friends to me now and I don't see them as ex's anymore.
I think you can but i suppose it deoends how the split was. If it was a nasty split then there will be more of a chance that you cannot
lol Maybe but i may get the minimum sentence...Hey we may share a cell lol hope they dont suffer from a rat infesation lol
I dont think exes should honestly remain friends, i just think it's for the best unless of course you were friends prior to the relationship, I just think it's impossible to move on fully if you are in contact with the person
Errmmmm i have met quite a few people that have split but get on way better after and they have all moved on. So in most cases your right!, but there are also lots of cases that would prove that comment wrong
Hrm, I honestly think it depends on the the person and the situation. I mean if you truly loved that person and they had your heart I think it would really hurt to see them give their love to someone else or have someone else give them what you couldn't. Although if you too just weren't right for each other and you both agreed on this, than I really don't see a problem with you someone being a friend with their ex.
I think it depends on where the people are emotionally after the breakup. If one of the people still has feelings for the other then I don't believe that it can work out. The other person will move on with their life and onto other relationships and that will just hurt the person who still cares. If both people have moved on and are over each other then I think that it's possible for them to be friends. I also believe that it depends on how the relationship ended. If one person cheated on the other then I don't see how they can be friends. The fact that the person cheated shows disregard for the other person's feelings, and if that other person doesn't care about how you feel and was disingenuous to you then I don't see how that person can be a good friend, since any relationship needs trust and mutual respect.
Well, if you two just separated in the non-painful reason (cheating, I don't love you, etc.) .. I don't see why not. This is common among teenagers who aren't ready for relationships (studies, school, etc!) You can still hangout. But, just control your feelings for God's sake. I have a friend, her bestfriend was her ex-boyfriend. On the other hand, she also has another friend (who's clearly not her bestfriend) who was also her ex. He keeps on freakin' stalking her! He even mistexted me "I miss you. I love you" What the heck? What do you want me to do? Text back in the same manner. Shame, man! Even he knows that my friend and her BF are just saying bestfriends because they can't be entitled as 'in a relationship'. Annoying! Darn! Okay. So chill! Relax.. All in all, YES! They can still be friends! *music plays - can we still be friends? can we still be friends?'
I guess it depends of what kind or how deep your relationship with that person in the past. If it was started from a friendship I think it is okay to make friend with that someone again but of course with limitations. Make sure that making friendship with that ex will not wreck your home if you are married. Nothing wrong with making friends with you ex. But if you think that it will cause your home to divided and create misunderstanding with your present partner, better get off and just pray for her/him in silent.
