I finally received an apology from my ex who I was with forever. It felt wonderful. I think being friends is good when kids are involved. I believe in forgivnessapplause conversing conversing conversing

There are various reasons why someone remains friends with their ex or exes. I remain friends with my ex because we have kids together. I would never again be involved with him romantically. Yet, I still go to his home to hang out with the kids. We watch movies together and we even have dinner or BBQ's on weekends! Wow big deal!

The query really lies within the person who questions it: Are they a non-trusting, jealous type? Why is it such a big deal to be friends with an ex and who is the new person to question it? Maybe they should be questioning themselves, to see if they're ready for a serious relationship?

IMO, it's perfectly fine to be "friends" with an ex. There is no sense is making someone else's life miserable, due to the insecurities the new person has. That's just immature and that puts reservations in starting any type of relationship with that new person.

Not right away after the break up. For me, there would have to be at least several months inbetween...and even then, I'm not so sure it would work out...it hasn't for me anyway.

I'm very sorry to hear that. But don't you think characterizing her as a "fiend" might be a tad harsh?confused wink

i think if your ex is a good person and he respets you there could be a friendship of some sort with limits, but sometimes they at like they are your friend but they really are not. the only friend that i have that is my true friend is my ex husband, the others are fakes!

"Girlfriends and Ex-gfs usually not like each other.especially when exs are not completely get over you,I don't want to make my future partner suffer,so ,it's better to say goodbye to your past relationships."

A man told me this few weeks ago,I think I agree with it.but ,if there's kids then it's fine.enough reason to be friends with ex.

Past is past,I don't think ex can really be a friend as your normal friend.even be a good friend like brother or sister?so when you guys together.memories will always come back.sometimes you would talk about the past with your ex.that will definetely make your current partner suffer.better just let it go!

I'm just sitting here wondering what percentage of the Yes responders would really be friends with the Ex or did they just post that way to be politically correct?????? It's easy to say "Yes" but every situation is different with different circumstances.
If he/she cheated on you, cleaned out your bank account and screwed all you friends (some friends they are...lol) Would you still be "friends" with him/her? I don't think it's as black and white as some see it to be....... confused

So true! I always remember reading this saying:

"An ex is an ex for a reason"

There are always exceptions (children for example) but in my opinion and experience most people wouldn't be too happy with their partner being close friends with their ex.

Again it depends on the extent of the friendship. If it's an occassional phonecall that's one thing but if they are meeting on a regular basis that's another aspect.
