bradlee1: why


Because OP went a great length out of her way to describe what a hell it would be for her, urging posters to express nothing but pity.

Beats me why this question is asked, besides being a wind-up...

bradlee1: why


For starters why not? There are man people that resume a normal friendship with their ex partners. Tis up to the person themselves if they want to continue on a different level.

In some cases people often become better friends and acknowledge they were simply not right for each other.

Didnt me?dunno

Im all about loving someone for life...and as long as he hasnt abused/chated or otherwise peed me off then i see no reason not to be friends with him.
Just because a relationship does not work out does not mean you have to say goodbye to someone good.

I could also add that some women have to maintain a relationship with their ex purely for their childrens sake.

cutesimplegirl: Thanks for your opinion
actually he is cheat on me
I told him many times to not go out with my friend but he said he just feel pity to that girl
Ah, man always say something like that and finally I found out that they cheat on me
But I still keep them as a friend
we are from same church community, sometimes we met coincidence many times

but I have to stay sweet and smile tho my heart get bleeding
people must see something on my face tho I give smile and almost all our friends know that he IS my ex...


He CHEATED on and LIED to you. Why continue to have someone like that in your life in any way? Consider yourself lucky to be able to make a clean break from this jerk. You deserve so much more. Find a new man, one with integrity. You are pretty and sweet and won't be single long. I know it does not seem like it now, but you will fall in love again. Good luck. bouquet

cutesimplegirl: would you still keep your ex as a friend when you know that you still love him/her so much and you would feel jealous anytime you see him/her with his/her new couple?
is that wise to let them remain as a friend because you want to see them happy one day because if you don't have any contact with them anymore, you can't see their life in future.

would you keep them as your friend? NEED HELP


Think about how new relationships are going to feel about having to deal with an ex being in your life.

I'll be honest with you on this one. It all depends on HOW it ended. I'm still friends with one of my exs. And the friendship is so strong, it feels like if we never even dated.

As do so many fathers, many of whom have to battle through the courts for this right.

Thereafter i'm all for being friends with ex's......... after a peroid of time

There's a lot in that and there are also no hard fast rules. My ex wife and I are cordial because of our kids. There's on ex I severed all contact with and there's one who is a really good friend.

But: if you are still madly in love with an ex and are holding on to a friendship in the hope of a relationship re-flowering and you know with some absolute certainty that it can't or won't, you are storing up some big heartache for yourself.
