Sure you can be friends, I am with all my ex's, I honestly think that if you fall in love you never really lose that love, you just don't like them in the same way as before.
roll eyes
Plus it is a lot easier on stress levels to be friends than to always hold a grudge that will never solve anything.

I agree, the longest relationship I had was for 5 years and we lived together for 2 of those, we broke up when I realised I wasn't in love anymore - and it hurt him alot. I would love to still have him in my life as a friend more than anything, but he decided he couldn't be friends with me and I just had to accept that. It sucks though :(

Ah sorry. I know that saddness from both sides. I was rejected by a woman I loved, and I rejected a woman who loved me. Despite my wanting to remain friends, its turned out to be a false hope, an unfullfilled dream, and its sad and dissapointing hug

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?





I'm friends with at least 98% of my ex's, and bare no remorse whatsoever! I moved on to better pastures. This is he one time i think back and reflect on past flames and wonder could it have been different if i wasn't such a jerk then!

Yup, it's possible to be friends. If you accept what you did, and they accept what they did, and everyone gets over it. I'm friends with a couple of exes, better than when we dated.

my x wife is the only one i have become good friends with al my other girlfriends i never bothered to be close friends with

i dont know why i have decided to be friends with my x wife i was one of thes guys if the relationship ends why bother staying in contac why bother being friends and why bother hanging out

also i did not want to be seen as number 5 or be dwelling on what we use to have

looking back i was growing up and i never realy showed my true feelings to the girlfriends i had



if your mature and not insecure i say yes you can be friends with your x wife it all depends how you deal with what she had put you threw and what you had done to her thers always two sides to the story


me and my x wife talk a lot because of our child my son is 12yrs old he lives with his mother and her new husband i only have my son stay with me when he wants a brake from mum and his step fathter his step father does not get offended when my x wife rings me or does he listen in on the conversation and leavs the discipline to me and my x wife


i do make it clear if i am intrested in a women that i am close friends with my x wife but thats it i dont talk about my x wife with the women i am showing intrest in

that shows the women i am intrested in i have not let go of her or am i over her

but its up to the indervidual how they handle the situation they find them selves in



thats all i am going to say on this subject

There should be no hard feelings.We should overcome bad feelings, and allow life to continue in a usual way

I must admit that with say an ex. husband it is more of a challenge. The pain from that takes a lot longer to recover from. Then being able to move on with someone else is yet another story. peace
