Half of my exs are my friends, so from experience, I believe yes! I do not see why not, unless you were in a very intamate relationship, which I have only been in two.
I still contacted with my ex though i was in a relationship with my boyfriend. I think it is just friendship, but my boyfriend got very jealous and angry when he knew all about it. He said nobody should keep in touch with his/her exes once they got departed. Finally i gave up my ex for my boyfriend. Maybe my boyfriend is right. Why still let a past relationship bother your current one?
It depends... let us put it this way. If you have a partner and he or she cheated on you, it will be easy for her or him to befriend you but you will find it difficult. You will never trust that person again. Without trust there will be no friendship that will sprout only pretensions.
Exes can try to be friends, but in my opinion it is not a good idea. I would put the smart money on the idea that one of them isn't completely over the other person, and they are hoping to find a way to get back into the relationship. In my opinion it just isn't healthy.
I have a great friendship with my ex-husband and we were married for 25 years so I'm here to say...it is possible. We went through certain cycles. We began as friends. Then we had enough chemistry to marry and share 2 children. Then instead of being like husband and wife...the nature of our relationship changed...so we were eventually like brother and sister. Then it made sense to divorce and we were able to accomplish that without fighting and feeling animosity toward each other. I still love the guy...but...in a different way than when we were together.
I agree with speedy - it depends on the depth of your r/ship before you broke up. But I wouldn't recommend it; things are not ever going to be normal because you've shared intimate moments. It's just gonna be weird.
They can be, but there's a lot of tricky situations that come with it. I'm friends with my ex, but it does cause some problems with my boyfriend. I think you have to think about it and really prepare yourself. One day you might have to weigh out the options and decide if keeping the friendship with the ex, is worth losing a current partner. Because it very well might come down to that. Also things like age, maturity, and if you have kids with the ex factor in too.
Technically they can be friends but practically it would be really difficult to accommodate each other in their lives specially with the new romantic partners they are involved with.
Isn't it awkward to friend your ex if you knew he's already taken? It's probably okay if you are also in a current relationship, no time for self-pity. But if you end up being single and he's happy with the other, to be honest, I will feel miserable.
