Grá__: I have a few friends who are ex's but they're only people I've casually dated, if someone broke my heart I don't think I could go on to be friends with them. What's your view on this one guys?
It's very difficult to be friends with some people after they have shafted you in some way.
I'd rather not ever see them again if they pulled a fast one on me, after all why mix with people who view you as something to be used or taken advantage of?
If their nice and it's mutual then it's possible, but if you find out someones the morals of a hyena then why on earth have anything to do with them?
So if you fins a user/creep/scammer/drama queen/player/gambler/crook/conman or woman/thief/ or scumbag....well get as far away as possible, check your pockets to see your keys are there and your wallets still got the bank cards in and count your blessings.
IN SHORT.....RUN.

and putting it in reverse and running over him again, drive forward and give it another round, and yet of course hit the reverse again, just to make sure you have left a good impression that you wish them well !

I'm on good terms with 93.7% of my exes - in other words all but 23 of them! 
Ok, that was being silly - but I am on good terms with all except one ex wife and my last ex who I loved dearly but it didn't work out.

IMO Only if the issues that caused the split up have been resolved. If they haven't then there will be the same old drama that you left to get away from in the past.

Aye, I'd an ex contact me out of the blue last night and that's exactly what I told him. We're back on speaking terms now, but I seriously doubt we'll ever be friends.

I'm still friends with most of my ex's. In fact, I was in my one ex's wedding!
There's one I can't remain friends with because he has a brain injury & becomes obsessed. He phone stalked me after we broke up.
And then there's my ex-husband... I don't hate him anymore... that's a step in the right direction!

You can be my 'ex' friend - we can skip out the bit in the middle!

I think this is an excellent question and has many answers depending on the feelings of each person. I'm on speaking terms with my 2nd wife only just. My first wife is deceased (cancer of the palette, neck, tongue etc lifelong smoker) I was on friendly terms with her for years. I think it's very hard to be friends with an ex if you still love him/her it's just too painful if it's only one way. The best way to get past this type of situation is to find somebody else who you can give this love to.

I have no ex's. So I have no experience there. I am friendly with every woman I dated since my wife died.

Absolutely they can be friends. My ex-husband was my best friend.......platonic friend. Unfortunately he died and it took me many years to get over losing him to death. We had a daughter between us and I always made sure he saw her whenever he wanted to. I also worked for him for a few years while she was very young so that I could be home when she came home from school. I know that he loved me to the day he died and I loved him as the best man I ever knew but alcoholism took him over and he became reckless with his life and our family. There was no other recourse than divorce which was 39 years ago. I never married again. He was and always will be the best friend I ever had.

I near have tears in my eyes reading that, you obviously loved him very much.

Yes they can. I found it was harder to have one particular ex out of my life completely. We had tried to erase each other from our memories and our lives but that didn't make either one of us happy. Tragedy happened and he needed to have his friend to talk to. I needed to be there for him just as much as he needed me to be there. While we will never be together, he will always have a piece of my heart and he will always be my very dear friend...and vice versa.

I met him when I was 16 years old in high school. We dated for four years, then got married and two years later our daughter was born. He was the only man I knew until I started dating 3 years after our divorce. He was a good man, a very good man, but when he drank there was another side to him. Thank you Gra for your kind words

I agree where children are involved but can't agree about the run'n someone over part!!
At least mom and dad should be able to show mutual respect for each other in front of the young'ns for their sake.------ This poll is Archived ------
