Depends, i have an ex from 25yrs ago whom i am still friends with and we can contact each other with a few years passed and catch up with whats happened with our lives, is awesome as we are best friends and always will be but would never get back together and both respect that.
And yet my ex partner of 21yrs wanted to remain friends but lifes not always that easy and i prefer not to be, but yet we will still talk to each other regarding issues with children etc but easy sometimes not to be friends.
So i would say it does depend on alot of things, type of realationship, how long, list goes on.
So sometimes can be friends, other times - break free and ran :))

I think that when guys say they still want to be friends, they still want a chance to use you some more if their 'better' girlfriend dumps them. When girls say they still want to be friends after a breakup, they mean it in a Fatal Attraction kind of way.

depends on the break up and if children are involved if it was due to lies or cheating involved no i wash my hands of them if it was a mutual thing then i could still be friends but only at a distance
so nothing could be read into it... been there done that..... my ex calls once a year just to chat a bit but that is it.

RebeccaWYR: If you love sb very much, but somehow you break up with him/her, would you still make friends with him/her, or not?
For me, defintely no

If still can be friends, mostly likely wouldn't break up

I can't imagine such a situation. Since there are no lovers for me without friendship and partnership first, probably the friendship would have stopped earlier (or he wouldn't be an ex?). So I can't see how I could possibly be friends with an "ex-lover". 
Communicate occasionally, sure (if there is a need for it), but friends...?

Ever heard of "Live and let live"?
Although I know how you feel, I could never wish death on anyone...Well, maybe a couple of politicians and radio hosts but it would be a simulated death, just for a month or so

Totally depends on:-
1. How and why the relationship broke up;cheating, violence and other nasties are hard to forgive and forget.
2. If you are harbouring any romantic feelings towards them still. If you are, and they just want to be "friends", then it would prove very difficult.

RebeccaWYR: Love will probably lead to hatred after the breakup
Only when you don't love , then you don't hate and can be friends with them.

yes Rebecca you are very correct. I don't love them, but I sympathize with them. but love and sympathy are relatives

I always try to remain friends with my ex-boyfriends/lovers. Just because things didn't work out romantically doesn't mean they may not make good friends.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule....

I voted yes, but should have for depends. Because in my opinion, it depends on how the relationship ended. A good break up can still hold a friendship that never ends and a bad break up simply cannot. Just depends on how bad the break was and whether either of you want to salvage anything out of it.
