Can Ex's Be Friends?

I was wondering, can you still be friends with your ex? Because I think just because people can't live together, why can't they still be friends? Because I was dating a girl that didn't want me to talk to my ex at all. And this caused a great problem between us. But, since me and my ex had kids together, how can you not talk to each other? So, I dumped my recent girlfriend. Does any one else have this problem? And how would you handle it?

Dennis you're not alone with facing that kind of conflict with unreasonable selfishness (referring to y'r recent date ) .
It needs a lot of mental selftraining to overcome all kinds of egocentric tendencies ,but it is NOT impossible ,and it makes a person grow as a realistic human being .In other words someone who really DOES the effort to ban as much as possible his/her (chronically overestimated) ego ,becomes more mature AND before all : WISER !! We all here on this site have our baggage from our pasts ,and we all have the right to remake a new life with someone new .
None of us here is "brand new" .Another thing that more of the "candidates" here have to understand is that ,even if we had to end a previous relationship for very good reasons (that we all have ?) ,this doesn't mean that the person we left was at 100% bad or problematic ;so it is perfectly possible that on this level remains a reasonable proportion of normal human values wich can be maintained within our normal social contacts .Of course under the condition not to make games of it ...
Well I think it's great when exs can still be friends, it just goes to show that they had a strong relationship, but maybe weren't meant to have an endearing romatically involved relationship. I'm friends with a few of myexs and we talk about everything...right down to their latest girlfriend.

You also said you had children with your ex, and this current girlfriend was upset about that? Wow, what is she out of her mind?! Those are your children as well as your ex's. I mean you think your girlfriend would be happy you still have a close bond with your children, shows that your a great father.

So yes I do believe that exs can still be friends and go on to date other people!handshake
