I don't have many ex's. The important one though, I am friends with. Unfortunately, I think he still wants me...

I THINK IF YOUR EX IS MATURE ENOUGH TO BE A FRIEND TO YOU THEN YES, YOU COULD BE FRIENDS, BUT NOT IF THEY STILL ACT LIKE BABIES.

I think it is. I ran into her here on the island after not knowing where she was for 13 years. I think that may have been meant to happen for some reason. uh oh

I am still friends with my ex now. We don't see each other or really keep in touch, but we are friends and send an occasional email every now and then.

I am not friends with any of my ex-husbands. But I could be nice if I ran into my kids dad. But otherwise being friends with them Nope. I am nice to a few ex-boyfriends(cause we have mutual friends) but I'm not really friends with those ex's.professor laugh

I AM AT THIS MOMENT TAKING CARE OF MY EX HUSBAND, HE IS DIEING UNFORTUNATLY AND HAS NO ONE ELSE REALLY, AND I WOULD DO THAT FOR ANYONE I CARE ABOUT, BUT JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS ALL FOR EX'S BEING FRIENDS, BUT THEY PROVED ME WRONG, AN EX IS JUST THAT, AN EX.
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE SO IMMATURE.

YES HE DID SOMETHING, BUT THAT ACTION PROVED TO ME THAT HE ISNT A FRIEND AT ALL. HE WAS NEVER A FRIEND. I GUESS YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN, AND HE LOVES TO TURN THINGS AROUND. WELL NOT THIS TIME.
HE KNOWS WHAT AND WHO I AM, AND HE KNOWS I AM A GOOD PERSON, HE IS JUST VERY INTO HIMSELF AND WHAT HE NEEDS. HE IS THE TYPE THAT WILL PUSH YOU DOWN AND THEN KEEPS HIS FOOT ON YOUR BACK TO KEEP YOU DOWN.

My ex dumped me because she couldn't deal with my having a heart problem. Soon as I was on my feet and working after a triple by-pass, she gave me the boot. Far as I'm concerned, she can rot in hell if there is one.

Sometimes yes, if its mutual. Sometimes, no. Everyone is different.

Me? I'm pretty much an "all or nothing" girl... wave

Hi Mooondustrising,

Not that I read the whole thread, just the first couple and the last two, there is still the case that your ex may be frustrated that the only person who now cares for him is an ex dunno

He has no-one who loves him as a partner does and that you being there, no matter how good your intentions are, can only magnify his position, therefore making him feel worse about the way he has lived his life and where he is now.... hug

As for OP question, I would prefer not to keep in touch, though if we meet in the street after a year, then I will say high and wish them well.. wine

no he is with someone, he is never alone. he is just different. he getsn mad very easily, he is very inseure, thinks everyone has a motive of some sort, but definetly not alone. his problem is
me. he doesnt get me at all.

If children are involved they should always be friend like or caring and loving to the ex.
This will only give heart to the children and they are the most important.

This is sooooooo true. My ex was good with me until his divorce, not he hates all women.

My first wife did not speak to me for many years, I could not blame her because of the way "I" treated "HER" when we were married. Over the past couple of years, we have learned to become friends, it is a good thing.

I think, there is nothing wrong to be a friend of your ex-bf or ex-gf most especially if there was no hard feelings between the 2 of you when you were separated...

But im not sure about the ex-wife or ex-husband...im not sure if it is a good idea to be friend with them....i will see that someday if it is time for me to know...confused ....tongue ....
