Sure. Why not. You bed him, not wed him.

Lippy
I am confused, are we talking relationship exes or simply bed buddies?
I think it depends on the individual, location often plays a part, if people are located far away from each other and usually the partners move on then the contact will fizzle out.
It is easier to get over a partner if there is some distance, I am a great believer in no contact, as hard as it is, it is important to not have contact.
If you live close to each other, then it is harder, I left the country to recover from my ex but it worked. Never easy or pretty, but it worked for me. I cannot be doing with emotional assaults and I found that was what happened.

Sommerauer71: Interesting theory there, that would hurt if a woman was not over a person and regularly came into contact with the 'new couple'
Also about how confident you are, secure you are within yourself.
My ex husband left me for his assistant, she is eight years younger than me and she is terribly attractive, and we get on well, but I have embraced her rather than see her as a threat.
As long as she is with him it makes my life easier, considering we have a lot of contact because our children live with them 50% of the time.
Of course it hurts, when a partner has a new partner, we are human and it hurts men too, but it is down to the individual how they deal with it.
I chose to be dignified, then I left the country, which helped me to recover.

It's possible, but it can easily cause problems in the current relationship. It largely depends on the extent of the friendship with the ex. If their contact is casual and infrequent, then probably no problem. If their friendship includes sleepovers, big problem. Anything in between is subject to negotiation and the temperaments of those involved.

yes....my ex recently married the man that she left me for. We are all friendly with each other. What is gone is gone....doesn't mean there can't be something else!

What a refreshing attitude.

I figure if I slept with him it was because I liked him. Why should I stop liking him just because one of us has moved on?

Actually, exes make surprisingly good friends.
Just don't sleep over or the past will come back to haunt you.

I think that a friendship is still possible in this case as long as "both" no longer have any feelings for the other. If this is not the case: absolutely not.

as in feelings of 'love'??? you can still love someone as a person but not be 'in love' with them....please clarify.....

I guess i wasn't that clear.
What i am trying to get across is that if one of the former partners had still had feelings for the one that was in a new relationship, it would be difficult to maintain a friendship. If both have moved on emotinally, no problem to maintain a friendship.
