Can you be friends with an ex?

[pepper]

Is it possible to becomes friends with an ex? I honestly believe after some time if the two people can get over it they could. It is just if you are secure enough to forgive someone for breaking your heart. My friends say ex bfs and gfs cannot be friends... What do you guys think?

as long as neither person has feelings for the other.. but when you are with a new woman she will probably not want you to still talk to your exes.. so my answer is usually not

they can be friends, my buddys one ex is his friends wife now. he ever went over there last night to get sum shit from her laptop and sleeps over. but it was not a long realtionship and it was years ago.

im friends with an ex, she evern gave me free stuff years later. im not really friends with my current ex but i could be cuz nothings there anymore. kinda depends on the person, the amount of time and how the realtionship ended.

I suppose you could be but why would you want to be unless there is children involved? I'm not keen on being demoted where I work or where I play. I don't keep going into a place of employment if I've been fired even though I had fun there.

You can absolutely be friends with an ex. One of my exes are I are very good friends. I know her husband, She knows my wife, and we all get along just fine. Wife doesn't mind at all when I'm on the phone with S____.

Hell, that ex and I shared a house (in separate bedrooms) for months after we split up. Used to be hilarious when I'd answer the phone and it'd be one of her dates. Hilarious for me that is, probably not so much for them.

i think its according to how serious the relationship is. if the relationship wasnt serious and you both realize you arent right for each other i think you can be friends. but if its a long relationship that's serious i think that makes it harder to be friends bc the reason for breaking up is usually more serious than realizing your not right for each other

With my ex and I (the one I'm friends with) we discovered very shortly after getting married that it was a mistake of near-epic proportions. We make great friends, but lousy partners. We get along famously as long as one of us gets to go home later. Of course, I live 2000 miles from her now, but we still chat on the phone once in a while.

I am really not true friends with any of my ex's. Facebook friends with the ones that I didn't care that much about, but for the ones that took a piece of my heart with them we would never be true friends.

I am friends with one of my ex because whenever she needs help or advice, I support what she needs and vice-versu. She doesn't take over advantage of my help to screw me over, so I know that the plan of being friends is there.
One of my other ex, well we are not friends. She turned out to be a huge screw job to me and tried to invite me over to family get togethers just to show off her new BF.
