In response to: Have you remained friends with your exes?

I like to remain friends because I figure that even though things may not have worked out in the relationship, a lot of times they can make great friends!




I tried to remain friends but soon found out this does not work - well not in my case

hopefloats: Let me elaborate a little more! Being friends with my exhusband didn't happen the day after we separated. It has taken "years" to re-establish a friendship. When children are involved it is necessary and vital.


emotional wounds take a long time to heal, but the good news is that they finally do , and yes you teach a great lesson to your kids , : TO FORGIVEbouquet

I know people who have remained friends, one is even in a business partnership with her ex. I cannot understand that... I have no wish to even see the jerk, let alone remain friends. mumbling

bodleing: Of course, whilst you're single and your ex is also single
staying friends is easier. But, I have three ex partners
who are very good friends of mine regardless of my or
thier status.
In fact my most recent ex has since married. I sometimes
visit her in the daytime if I happen to be passing.
Her husband who I get on with well might even ring from
work. She never hesitates in telling him I'm round there,
and he always says, "say hello to him from me"
I think its a matter of if you have really moved on or
not
.


hmmm You could be right about that, B. The question is...what constitutes "having moved on"?confused handshake

For me it means I've moved on from the attachment that
goes with being in that relationship.
Of course I'm talking about a period of time after the
end of that relationship and it depends on the level
of friendship that was present in that relationship.
Also, the circumstances surrounding the breakup makes
quite a difference I believe.

I guess I really have only 1 "ex", and though we aren't close, we do speak occasionally.

Some of my best friends are ex's. The only one I don't keep in touch with was the dishonest, cheating one. Why bother?

And though it is killing me, I am still trying to get along with my stb-ex, since I want my kids to see us being civil. That is my number one goal is not have nasty displays. If not for the kids, though, we wouldn't talk...at least at this point.
